XESTERDAY-saw the opening of National Used Car
Exchange Week, and thousands of smart buyers "got
there early." There's not the slightest doubt what
they're telling their friends today: never has the
owner of an old car had such an opportunity to switch
to a better, more modern car for so little money!
Here are some of the reasons why it will pay you
to buy now. The weather is in your favor because
spring is just around the corner. Values are in your
favor because dealers have ah unusually wide selec
tion of good used cars and they, are co-operating in
a nation-wide sale to move them quickly. Prices are
in your favor way below those of a few months ago.
. Many of the cars are 1937,j 1936 and 1935 models
with many important improvements that have been
brought out in the pas ew years. Many are covered
by the finest kind of dealer guarantees.
What does your old car offer to compare with the
desirable modern features listed at the top of this
page?i If the answer is "repair bills, sluggish per
formance, decreasing trade-in value, growing unre
liability' why hesitate longer? It's poor economy
to drive a car till it's ready j to fall apart to say
nothing of the safety angle. This is the week to bring
in your old car and drive out with a better car.
See the nearest automobile dealer as soon as you
can i while the selection is greatest Your present
car may cover the down-payment balance payable
on easy terms. If you have no car to trade, you can
still take advantage of the low, down-payments and
easy terms during: this sale.
