J The difference between the minimum in transportation and the maximum in motoring is exactly what sets the Chrysler-built De Soto Six completely apart from others in its field. It explains why De Soto Six has broken all sales records for a first-year car. J The De Soto Six was not designed merely to carry people in passable comfort from one place to another. The qualities that afford De Soto true dis tinction are all supplementary to its mobility. J De Soto Six is capable of such distinctive and versatile performance that nothing less than a demonstra tion can do it justice.
