The Lex Sedan Is Of the new four.
door type. The sides of the body are
unusually high and the doors all are
OF full width. The six side windows
are of equal size and are square IN
shape to conform to the straight-iine
effect Of the doors, The glass In these
windows can be lowered or raised or
entirely removed as the weather die
tates or the occupants will.
with the four wide doors, access to
the interior Of the car Is unretarded.
The car will seat comfortably, with the
aid Of auxiliary seats, seven passen-
gers.
The model is completely equipped with
those accessory features which add to
the comfort and artistic appearance OF
q car. The coach work, furnishings and
color combinations are as distinctive
as the car itself, Three color are OPP
tional, blue, maroon and Brewster
green, with Spanish leather and velour
to match.
The Lex-Sedan body, mounted o N a
Lexington Minute Man Six chassis, Is
described as being hundreds, Of pounds
lighter than many cars OF similar size,
a fact due to the scientific elimination
Of a number Of parts n the utiliza-
ton OF light yet sturdy metals.
Among the most prominent features
Of the Lexington chassis are its oilless
spring b~ushings, the nonrattle frame
and the Moore multiple exhaust sys-
tenn, which contributes to greater econ
omy and increased power.
The Lex-Sedan Is regarded as a most
| creditable addition TO the Lexington
line, which already is quite extensive.
