CHANDLER s NEW
FEATURESNOTED
BY MOTOR FANS

The pronounced changes which
have been made in the body design
of the new Chandler Six are quickly
noted by motor car fans. Perhaps
the most important result from the
new undressing construction giving
the car a low, sturdy, road-hugging
appearance.
At the same time striking beauty
has been added by design changes
causing the car to appear larger,
longer. deeper and more commodious.
A modish rounded appearance has
been given the car through changing
the top edge of the body from a beyel
to a sharply curved design.
Smooth, graceful lines of body and
hood are maintained by such niceties
as a cowl ventilator flush with the
surface and inconspieuous top hold
er brackets, also flush with the body
of the car.
