BUSINESS SEDAN

Exceptional interest has been aroused by the
practical arrangement Of the interior.
The entire rear compartment furnishings
seat, seat cushions, back cushions, seat
frame, foot rest, carpet and all--can be re-
moved from the Car in few moments.
The front seat is then tilted forward, giving
a gross clearance of twenty-five inches
through the rear doors.
In this way, space of sixty-four cubic feet
in the rear compartment is made available
for loading.
When the rear seat fixtures are back in
place, the interior is complete and attrac-
tive in appearance. Its convertibiity is not
apparent to the eye.
Business men, farmers, statesmen, campers,
tourists and everyone who has occasion, at
times, to carry bulky articles or luggage,
will readily appreciate the great utility of
this construction,
