' We predict that within a month after we have delivered your Chrysler Six all your ideas of travel will be changed revolutionized. Instead of traveling by train, nine times out of ten you'll travel in your Chrysler Six. We predict that your Chrysler Six will make these changes in your ideas and habits of travel because it has already done so with thousands of owners. All this is just what might have been expected when you consider the na ture of the results which only the Chrysler Six delivers. , You have command of a high-gear speed range of from 2 to better than 70 miles an hour. Few would care to let the car out to its limit. You don't need this highest speed to make any journey in better time than other cars. Drive at an average of 35 miles and still you'll save time over others because the Chrysler Six is so alert, because it gets away so quickly and is so easy to handle, so sure in control. It is always first out of traffic Readability is one of the Chrysler's most remarkable features. It clings to the road as though it really weighed as much as two tons. You'll drive in town or country all day without fatigue because of its easier riding qualities which efficient Wat son stabilators have made still more remarkable by the elimination of re bound shock on even the roughest highways. . Y6u'll drive always with the greatest possible safety because Chrysler-Lockheed self-equalizing hydraulic four wheel brakes give you perfect control. You'll find yourself freed of motor worries by the Purolator, which auto matically and continuously filters all dirt out of the oil in your crank-case as you drive; by the efficient air-cleaner which keeps all dust and dirt out of your carburetor and engine. . We make one more prediction. After you have once had a ride in this car you'll always think of better trans portation in terms of Chrysler Six. That ride is waiting your conven ience.
