TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. January 2, 1357 i V, . I . Once opon a time, there was a man who bought a great, big dinosaur. That's what he called it Actually, it was a great, big . automobile. It was so big it wouldn't fit into his garage. So he had to rebuild the garage so the car would fit. When the man drove the car on the road, it guzzled gas like an intercontinental bomber. He was known as the gas station's best friend. And when his wife went to the grocery store, or the drug store, or the beauty parlor, she spent half her time trying to park that big, long juggernaut of a car. 6 8 Finally, the man and his wife flipped their lids. "We've had enough of this nonsense," they said. "Let's get an economical European car." So they looked atone-but it wouldn't hold all their family. So then they looked at the only car that has big-car roominess and comfort, plus European-car maneuverability and economy. It was a Rambler. It was as pretty as a speckled pup. It fitted iri their garage and left room for them to go in and out, too. When they loaded up the family, there was room for five kids and three dogs, and them, too. And they had more fun on trips, with beds to nap the kids. And when they drove up to the gas station, their old friend the manager gave them sour looks. "You're only usin' half as much gas," he groused. "What are you gettin', 30 miles to the gallon?" 10 11 12 J n V2J I i i I 11 o Recently, themanandhis wife decided to trade their '56 Rambler in on the new 1957 Economy 6 model. They found that Rambler has the highest trade-in value of all low-priced cars. So they started figuring . . . They found their Rambler had cost less than half as much to own as their old "dinosaur". Now they could afford to own two Ramblers. Were they happy! So they bought a new 1957 Rambler 6 and a new Rambler V-8. too. They got lowest-priced All-Season Air Conditioning that adds so much to resale value it may repay its full cost when you trade again. And they got Airliner Reclining Seats that make Twin Travel Beds. If you're tired of feeding a dinosaur, try Rambler. Prove to yourself you can own two smarter new Ramblers for the cost of one big gas-guzzler. And Rambler's lots more fun to drive. 5 . 1 1 1 wm wm I I -.g-.'.3si ssi m a Ttm t O-jimW ID" Wwl W TV fcfinei w In ami itanl I cordially invite you fo come in and road-test the Ram U UI u America's lowest priced, smartest car.
