w HAT luxury to ride in car that cannot de-

to need to think about chassis lubricationl Chry-
sler Imperial "80' affords that kind of luxury,
too. Chassis fabrication means, chiefly, oilng
or greasing spring shackle bolts--and doing it
frequently, whether by hand or foot. Chrysler
Imperial ''S0' has no spring shackle bolts, but
instead live rubber shock insulators which never
need oil or grease, or even thought. They never
develop squeak or a rattle. They wear in
definitely. They relieve your mind Of any thought
of fabrication. They relieve your ears of noise.
And they make the Imperial ''80'' ride with

Its big semtannual Summer meet.
ing just over, the program committees

Pedestrians often are responsible

This is the opinion Of the National

reports from more than 100 American
cities telling of crash causes.

involved in accidents which caused
the deaths of more than $1,000 per-

Contesting for the right-of

Driving on the wrong side of the

What makes a motorist think all the
brake drums are dirty when applica-

One brake will make all the noise
necessary to annoy the driver, and in
variably only one brake is in need of
cleaning. Careless thinking causes
most car owners to wash, and some
times oil sparingly, all the brakes

the noise production may be lowered
