a man who wanted to buy a car to take a
mechanic with him.

skilled automotive engineers to make it
easy for you to select your new car. These
men are working for you at its Proving
Ground the i i68-acrc outdoor laboratory
in Michigan where every kind of car is
tested.
Before any General Motors car goes in
to production, a fleet of advance models is
constructed and sent to the Proving
Ground. There these advance cars must
meet every test tests far harder than you
, would make. Sometimes they arc rebuild
redesigned, rctestcd many times until they
arc pronounced right, and ready to be put
into production. ,
The tests involve speed,' power, endur
ance, braking, riding comfort, handling
ease; fuel and oil economy; body strength
and safety every phase of car construc
tion and performance.
Buying a car is easy today because
