More Than You Will
Ever Want

Your average driving speed is
probably Is miles an hour. You rare
ly maintain that speed for more than
an hour or two. Still if your car
should go through the season with
that kind Of performance wouldn't
you be pleased?
How much more trying to every
item of its mechanism were every
one of those high speed miles than
any demand you will make.
Almost as astonishing as it's endur-
ance was its tire experience. The
front wheel tires went through all
three trials without change. Two
rear tires were replaced because of
damage done by splinters from the
board surfaced track. = go "
Application was made last April to
conduct stock reliability tests under

close to $4,000 cars have been deliv-

meant principally moderate price
and perhaps gasoline and tire econo-
my. There was enough speed and
power to get about but none that
gave distinction on the road. Fine
ness and performance were not ex-
pected.
But the Essex brought fine car quail
ity to the light car field. It's appear
ance gave it immediate distinction.
It's performance placed it in the large
costly car class. Only in size, cost
and economy of gasoline, oil and tires
was it compared to cars in the mod
crate price field.
Is it any wonder that motorists
have praised the Essex as they have?
1t gave them just what they had
wanted. 1t was the way by which
they could keep their motoring costs
down and still have a car that filled
their demands in performance, ap-
pearance and endurance.
