comes even close to
CHRYSLER Performance
The very name of Chrysler spells a new
an.: finer kind of performance -a spark -
lin •, dashing, vivid road behavior that
h. s eluded the best efforts of a whole in-
dustry to excel. 4 No small part of the
ever-growing popularity of Chryskr cars
is due to that singular and significant
leadership in performance. 411 People
recognized in the first Chrysler some-
thing entirely new - obsoleting the
some vehicles of its day., And they have con-
tinued
oo-tinued to recognize -that Chrysler engi-
neering has not only brilliantly maintained
that lead but has actually widened its mar-
gin of superiority. 4 Add to this superiority
of performance, that original style and
beauty all Chrysler's own, at prices
hundreds of dollars under other cars
which are compared with Chrysler.
Then you will find it easy to understand
sluggish, heavy, bulky and cumber- the universal demand for Chrysler.
