This new car" says General Man
ager Churchill, lis practically an in
Vitation model. BY that | mean we
are building In in response to an in
sistent public demand for car not
quite so big as our model 81, and still
embodying all the quality OF the larg-
est and most costly cars. For sew
eral years we have been urged to fill
this unsatisfied demand. We were
told that the industry offered buyers
nothing OF highest quality except in
the great big cars; that the buyer
VINO wanted something slightly small
er was forced to accept considerably
less quality. Our investigations show
ed this complaint to be well founded.
Men and women of exacting taste,
motor owners accustomed to superior
quality, could not find that quality in
cars OF medium size. So we have de-
signed this new model and we have
put into 1t the same engineering skill,
experience and fidelity to quality that
mas given the Winton six its unique
reputation for thoroughgoing good
ness"
There is marked similarity between
the new-size Winton six and the larg-
er one. The motor Is of the typical
Winton six type, with L-head big
valves, and balanced moving parts.
Motor, clutch and transmission form
unit power plant, completely hous-
CO. The clutch has five pairs OF dry
plates. The transmission has four

is a universal joint at each end OF
the drive shaft, and the rear driving
gears are spiral bevels The rear

rage battery; head, signal, tail and

This tank has capacity of 81 l-2 gal
Ions. Air pressure carries the fuel to
an auxiliary tank under the cowl, from
which tank the carburetor Is fed by
gravity. fabrication is by means of
gear pump, and water circulation is
secured by gear-driven centrifugal
pump. A motor1driver air pump sup
plies pressure for initiating the 36x
1-2-inch tires. Non-skld rear tires
are regular equipment, as are Fire
stone demountable rims also. Addi-
tional equipment includes Warner
speedometer, clock, Klaxon horn. one

distinguish the model II Winton six
The new car is suspended somewhat
lower and is eight inches shorter in
wheel base. Divided front seats are
provided at purchasers option.
lnasmuch as a chief distinguishing
between cars OF high
grade and cars of low-grade is the
color treatment. buyers OF the new
size Winton six will enjoy the same
advantage that is extended to buyers
Of the larger model; that is. each pur-
chaser may have his car finished in
his own color scheme. and thus ex-
press his own individual taste. Also
the Winton service system will apply
to both models equally. which means
that the car owner will all the time
have the benefit OF the makers coop
