Double Cowl Body
A famous artist has created body effects of such exquisite taste and har
monious proportions that the new Elgin Six radiates an atmosphere of "re
finement and distinction, so that it stands aloof from the monotonous design
of the average car.

European fashion of double cowl, yet embodies the full yacht line effect. No
other motor car in the same price class has this stylish body effect.
The interior is noticeably roomy and loungy. The. seats are curved and
tilted at just the right angle to permit leaning back in comfort, as you
would at home in your favorite armchair.
- A Mechanical Masterpiece
The Elgin Six improved cantilever rear spring suspension has set a new
standard of motoring ease and comfort at high speeds. It gives .perfect
balance on the road, makes the car as smooth and easy running as a Pullman
parlor car, and reduces to a minimum side-rolling, jolting and bouncing. It
is an advanced engineering design, one of the most important improve
ments of the past year in motor car construction, and is found only in the
Elgin Six.
- The special construction of the Elgin vtlvet-acting clutch enables the Elgin
Six to be started on high gear, under ordinary conditions, eliminating to a
large degree the necessity of gear shifting, thus removing the last barrier to
the safe and easy handling of a motorcar by women. This design of clutch
Is not found in any other motor car selling at or near the Elgin price.
