Fuel economy is just one of the many reasons why more and more
Canadianswith a thiifty`nature are climbing aboard the "Meteor Six. band-
wagon.” First cost is substantially lower Operating costs are slim. And
Meteor's Six is so well engineered, so beautifully designed, that a service-
nian rarely' sees it -except at auto shows! Add to these facts the high 144
hp, rating find short -stroke low friction design, and you see Why Meteor's
Six is Canada's most modern, cost-savingest engine, It's available in ale
magnificent Meteor Niagara models, Climb aboard—it makes good sense.
