The first wast - in their materials these ears must not trespass on the current needs of national defense. The second was: - in their quality and performance they must not be an "ersatt" product.

So come try the gorgeous new cars that we not only say pace the pack for 1942 but are bold enough to believe set an all-time high in all-round automotive excellence. They will make you glad -nay, proud -all over again that you're living in America - and now! o ur new cars, it seems to us, superbly prove this. But we neither expect nor ask you to take our word for it.
