The fashionable center c< wl, combined with the
true yacht line design, gives the Elgin Six a distinction that
seta it apart from common cais. This double cowl and
the "V-type radiator are found in no other car selling for
less than $1,250.
Elgin Engineers have perfected an improved rear
spring suspension, found only in the Elgin Six, which
reduces shock and ¡vibration to a point not surpassed in
any car at any price, and sets a new standard of motoring
ease and comfort at high speeds.
The last barrier to the safe and easy handling
of a motor car by women is rei.ioved by the special con
struction of the Elgin velvet-acting clutch, which enables
the driver to start the Elgin Six on high gear, and does
away to a large degree with the necessity of gear shifting
under ordinary conditions.
Let us tell you about the new records made by
the Elgin Six in cross-country touring and how it has stood
crucial tests for reliability and economy of operation.
