"In my opinion, however, the
outstanding feature of this year's

selects a four, a six or 'an eight,
ha -secures more for his money
than ever before.
"The new Durant six. which

THAT Chrysler motor cars
are so different in appear
ance from all other motor cars is
not to be wondered at in view of
the unique plan by which their
remarkable beauty has been
attained.
Chrysler engineers recognized,
as no others had recognized, that
true beauty in automobile design
must come, not from a chance
inspiration of individual design
ers, but from a conscious and
deliberate plan.
Guided by glorious precedents
in. art, architecture and design,
they applied the authentic forms
of beauty which have come down
the centuries unchallenged and
unsurpassed and translated them
into terms of motor car utility
and beauty.
