If some show-oft wants to get the jump on you at a traffic light, why not let him have fun? He isn't kidding anyone but himself, when the name on your car is CENTURY.

But you can hardly call it extravagant; when you are buying more horsepower per dollar in a CENTURY than you get in any other car in America. it An rot suae S Shew 1 thelbeautfful buy WHB4 UTTH AUTC4AOSAIS AM MAT MACK Ml SUED THEM Thm 200 Wmprnr SW4 CfKrwir for 1954 vaifoU W W moMs, wcWwg rtm dunning nw 6-paagf Conrfllbk tiiewti Imn.
