TURN LEXINGTON
ROUND In Al FEET

The Thoroughbred" chassis of
the Series 80" models OF the Lexing-
ton Motor Company, has solved the
problem of easy handling in the
constantly growing congestion Of
traffic and parking difficulties.
The new chassis, in addition to
being considerably lighter than any
ever before produced by the Lexing-
ton. has given a very much shorter
turning radius. Side rails taper from
the front to the rear. The narrow
ing OF the front end of the frame
permits of a greater wheel clearance
and the car can be turned about in
a radius of Al feet.
Most automobile owners and
drivers will appreciate what that
means in these days" said Walter Il.
Reed, local Lexington dealer. ''The
sharp turning radius means that the
car can be turned around in practi-
cally any city street. avoiding the
necessity Of backing up two or three
times to get squared away. It means
also that the Lexington owner can
slip into a very much narrower
parking space because OF the greater
responsiveness of car to the steer
ing wheel"
