LADY ON THE ROAD
With Chrysler POWER STEERING plus Chrysler POWER BRAKES
At the wheel of a new Chrysler, you have
quicker, surer control of motion than you've
ever had in a car. You can't imagine what it's
like till you drive it! With this full-time power
steering, hydraulic power does 45 the steering
work, at your gentle pull on the wheel! You
also turn the wheel 13 less distance. And on
rough roads, soft shoulders, snow or sand,
"wheel fight" just doesn't happen. Your hand
actually has five times the usual steering
control, through every minute of every mile . . .
with the same sure "wheel feel" at all times!
5
With this safer way to steer, power brakes
make stops at all speeds safer and easier, loo.
Power from the engine "boosts" every touch
of your toe. Actually you stop with up to 23
less foot pressure than non-power brnkes.
You can bring your Chrysler to a halt from
full speeds in many feet less distance than
other cars of comparable size can stop. See
your Chrysler dealer soon. Fed for yourself
why thousands of owners say Chrysler offers
the two greatest advances in many years in
driving safety and driving ease!
