Chrysler says:
Fully aware there are today

combine these qualities no other car
in that field possesses. if it is to
register success.
"The industry has not given suffi-

drives small, low-priced car. II
has gone on the assumption that the
same measure Of comforts that must
be Incorporated into every car Of
higher price, il it is to be success

phatically with that assumption. The
person who prefers to drive small
