They may be seen at Hamlin Motor Company, 121 North Bartlett st. "Chrysler stylists have created a slim, vigorous motor car whose power of attraction matches its - power of action," said E. M.

They are available in a choice of 17 solid colors and 26 two-tone combinations. New Front End Striking The 1955 Chrysler's high styl ing stems from clean, low lines; taut, sleek metal work and care ful proportioning. The long hood sweeps down ward between sharply defined fenders and projecting headlights with a feeling of power and as sures a close-in view of the road and fenders. The divided two element functional box-check grille set over a third opening extending across the front of 55 X' ' i'1 Mr-rnrrr The highest -powered car in America the In March. Designed to the specifications of Chrysler 300 has a 300 -horsepower modified motor sports enthusiasts, the "300" has special Chrysler FirePower V-8 engine. The ground suspension, is 59 inches high, and features hugging hardtop will be arailable to the public - simple chrome treatment. the car emphasizes width and beauty of wheels and wheel cov- lowness and is topped by a new stylized Chrysler hood ornament. On the New Yorker Deluxe a floating bar bumper guard runs across and above the bumper with oval parking lights at each end. Contour line bumpers wrap around the front fenders and ex tend to the wheel openings which are prominent and point up the Hunter Shoots Fourth Deer From Same Stump Grand Rapids, Mich (U.R) Jackson Fleckenstein of Ionia claims to have a "magic" hunt ing stump. He shot his fourth deer in four years while seated on the same stump. Fleckenstein's friends have suggested he sell tickets to his "magic" stump in Osceola coun ty during next year's deer season. But Fleckenstein's wife does not need a bewitching stump. She shot a 125-pound buck the day before he did this year. And her buck had eight points; her husband's had only six. The only three areas of North America and Europe not accessi ble today by railways and high ways are the wilderness sec tions of northern Canada, Alaska and remote regions of Scandi navia. ers. The new superscenic wind shield in combination with a slim, gently tapering roof line and increased glass area of all windows lends a light look to the upper body and concentrates its mass low to the ground. The superscenic windshield is wrapped around at both top and bottom with rearward sloping side pillars conveying the feel ing of forward motion. . Because the pillars have been .moved rearward visibility is increased throughout the entire height of the windshield. Windshield area has been increased 20 per cent. A road-hugging appearance head on is created by the tumble-home of the sides above the belt line without sacrificing interior space. Hip room, for example, has been increased four inches in the rear seat compartment. A strong character line, formed into the body, metal and accented by chrome moldings, runs straight along the side, of the car and fairs into the rear fender. New easy-opening and tight-sealing door handles oper ating on a push-pull principle are smoothly faired into the doors. The outboard location of tall, fin-like taillights emphasizes the car's width and sharply outlines the rear fenders. Backup lights are recessed within ovals at either end of the floating bar guard.
