Nationally Known for Economy
THE reputation of the Grant Six as an
economical car is-based on actual per
formancesowners named it "the economical
car" long before claims of economy became
so general in motor car advertising.
Owners average 20 miles to a gallon of
gasoline and 900 miles to a gallon of oil. No
six built gets better mileage from tires.
The new Grant Six satisfies in every other
way also. It is a strikingly beautiful car and
it is roomy and easy-riding. Its overhead
valve engine, its cantilever rear springs, its
full-floating -rear axle, the long wheelbase, the
adjustable front seats, the excess capacity of
cooling, oiling and .electrical systems, are a
few of the features iri which the new Grant
Six is superior to any car of comparable price.
All thoughtful Americans realize t the importance
cf the' motor ar in maintaining national efficiency. .
The price and the high economy of the Grant Six should
make it your choice if you are buying a car this spring.
Price, $1055 f.o.b. Cleveland
