faultlessly fine it seems almost in
congruous to stress its low price. Yet
such a price for so notable a car is too
important not to be called to the atten
tion of all who seek exceptional value.
Jn style, the Chrysler "65" statuls
out the fashion-plate of its field, j It
sparkles with an original and authentic
type of beauty based on canons and
principles of classic art, centunes old,
yet new as the next tick of the clock.
In performance, it has that fleetness
and smoothness that distinguish
, Chrysler cars from all others. ,
No car could be easier to handle,
what with its responsiveness, pivotal
steering, balanced front -wheels, and the
easy, positive action of its weatherproof
internal -expanding 4-whet! hydraulic
brakes the safest ever devised.
Chrysler "65" serenely travels any
road. Its extra-long springs are provided
with rubber shock insulators as well as
with hydraulic shock absorbers.
r You'll be proud of a Chrysler "6"

your enjoyment will be the satisfaction
of knowing that you are getting so much
value for such s modest investment.
