GIVES RIGIONESS
Announcement that the Dodge
division of Chrysler corporation hoa
begun production of a two-purpose
or convertible sedan model Is made
by A. vanDerZee. the company's gen
eral satea manager.
Three features distinguish the
latest addition to the 19.16 line of
Dodge pssjenger automobllea ex
ceptions! roomlnesa and equipment;
construction that gives the body
rigidity fully equaling that of the
enclosed sedan type; and a price
tag marked In three figures instead
of four usually listed for a car ot
the class appeal which, la an unde
niable quality of the newest of
Dodge models.
The Dodge convertible sedan la
mounted on the ll-lneh wheel
base. 87 h p,, 1038 Dodge chassis and
comes with a commodious trunk
Integrally built Into the streamline
slope of the body rear. A sub-frame,
to which the extraordinary rigidity
of the body Is due. extends along
the lower edges of the body and, in
front, rises around the cowl section
with the effect of making the lat
ter virtually a part of the body
structure proper.
Interior dimensions are generally
those of the season's closed Dodge
models. Front and rear doors, ail
swinging forward, are considerably
wider than Is usual width, making
for comfortable entry and exit. The
windows are set In chromium frames
and, when raised, give the passen
gers complete weather protection.
The equipment of the new Dodge
convertible sedan Includes two clean
era awlveled at the bottom of the
windshield. The upholstering ma
terial la leather; fabric upholster
ing may be had, If desired. The price
quoted on this attractive and luxur
ious addition to the Dodge line U
006 list at factory Detroit.
While It la true," said A. van-
DerZee, "that the closed car la now
generally preferred, there remains
a clientele of discriminating motor
ists who. either because of climatic
conditions or from sheer liking, use
the type of automobile that gives
them, In a single vehicle, the pro
tectton of the closed body and the
open-air freedom of the open type.
The market for our convertible
sedans and coupe Is therefore not
limited to class, section or sen son.
Indeed, an appreciable number of
convertibles are shipped to north
ern motorists who, equipping the
cars with .heaters, use them with
comfort In rigorous winter driving."
