IT’S A DORT
F W W W W V V W W W V W V '
The Dort is Often Called
“THE BIG LITTLE CAR”
Because it possesses the same attractive
ness of appearance, restful riding comfort,
and power that is purchased at a much
higher price in larger cars. In addition,
the DORT is much lighter in weight. This
means more miles to the gallon and lower
upkeep.
