The new Chalmers Six-.")0 engine turns up :)400 revolutions per minute.
This is the fastest engine speed ever developed in an .American stock car.
Such super engine speed from a small motor means great power and perfect
readability.
In driving through city traffic or over the country roads, 3400 R. P. M.
means Performance with a capital P. On the city street it may be throt
tled down to two miles per hour on high. In less than ten seconds it acceler
ates to twenty-five miles per hour. It develops .2 horsepower per cubic inch
of piston displacement. At 2G00 R. P. M. this engine develops 45 horsepower.
The faster the engine speeds the smoother it runs. It is as sensitive to the
throttle as a Blue Grass gelding to the spur.
The Chalmers Six-30, with :!400 R. P. M. engine, which sells for $1175 f. o.
b. Salem, maintains the high standards of construction which have character
ized every previous Chalmers model.
Only long years of experience, greatly increased quantity production and
even greater efficiency have enabled us to announce this new Chalmers six
cylinder, five-passenger touring car at S1175.00.
We wanted to fix the price of this car at $1000. But we found that we
could not aflord to sell it at that price without some sacrifice of Chalmers
Quality. Rather than market a car which did not conform to our standards
in every detail, we were forced to make the selling price of the Six-:0, $1175.
In 1909 we announcsd the first Chalmers :0, at $1500; it set a new standard
of values. Thousands of those :l0's are in active service today, after covering
hundreds of thousands of miles on the road. "Old Reliable," the first Chal
mers :)0 built, is still rolling up the mileage after :i00,000 miles of road service.
Inspired by the record of the old :'0, Chalmers engineers resolved that the
most fitting name for the latest Chalmers creation was Six-:.0. Hence the re
instatement of the line of :.0, with the announcement of a new car with more
power, more stamina and more reserve than the old.
The Six-:i0 is no experiment. Its principles have been tried, tested and
proved throughout long years of building. It combines the best features of
previous Chalmers, with the refinement which has come with automobile
engineering advancement. Months before this car was announced it was driv
en over the steep mountain grades of Pennsylvania. It was sent over the
roads on prolonged cross-country flights. It stood up under every test.
