Unquestionably, the most compelling tribute
to the car's stamina is its widespread use by
farmers, ranchmen, surveyors, salesmen and
others who travel isolated roads in all sorts
of weather.
These men will tell you that a good polishing
restores the durable finish to its original
brightness after the car has been caked with
mud for weeks.
To them it is a matter of vital importance,
too, that Dodge Brothers powerful starter
