New Center Control- Exclusive Feature— No Side Leavers— No Reaching
Reo the Fifth brings out, for the first time, our new-
center, cane handle control.
All the gear shifting is done by this convenient lever
between the two front seats. It is done by moving
this lever less than three inches in each of four direc­
tions.
No noise, no grinding, no reaching. Just a slight,
easy motion.
Both brakes are operated by foot pedals, end one of
the pedals also operates the clutch.
So there are no side levers to get in the way. The
entrance in front, through cither door, is as clear as
the tonneau entrance.
This arrangement permits of the left side drive,
heretofore possible in electric cars only. The driver
sits as lie should sit, close to the cars which he pasees
and on the up side of the road. He sits where he can
look back in making a turn.
The operation of this car is simplicity itself—as
simple as an electric. Your wives and daughters can
drive it. This center control is the best new feature
brought out In any car thie year.
Yet this is lmt one of the details which reveal this
car’s up-to-dateness. When you see them all you will
say with me that Reo the Fifth comes pretty close to
finality.
