that assure maximum energy on every pis

With 76, the KNOCKS both

"1 The elimination of audible and in
audible knocks also means that there
is less vibrational wear on fixed and mov

this factor saves repair bills and makes
the "76" motorist more secure against en

L Elimination of knocks ... of course
. . . means NEW SMOOTHNESS,
too. When shifting at intersections, pass

country, your car gives you a vastly im

economy and greater pleasure to motoring.
