It is the most powerful used in any car of comparable she and weight, only racing cars ex cepted. But even with its superior performance, this car is inexpen sive to own. Its first cost is vory moderate. And its gasoline mileage equals that of many sixes of the same size. . , . Maintenance coils, too, ore vary low because parts are easily reached and the power plant is remark o!y sound in basic design. Valves can easily adjusted. Bearings are large, 'vrcly. Interchangeable. A water recircu dion system promores greater engine H045 efficiency. And full pressure lubrication assures positive oiling. . . .
