Lucky rabbit! He never has to worry about "stalling" In deep drifts
... nor about freezing cold.
It's different with cars. Nature doesn't help them. In fact, time and
bard use and the elements all work to harm both finish and functional
parts. These things should be watched . . . checked regularly by
someone who really knows. N
. Your Plymouth, Dodge, De Soto or Chrysler dealer has a very real
interest in keeping your car running at its best. He has tools to test
and adjust it. He has genuine factory-engineered and inspected parts.
His experienced mechanics know every detail of the car's operation.
A thorough looking over now may save you a lot of needless expense.
