The WHY'S knight has an extra

elastic power. So have ut least Il
dozen or possibly more European

their work unobstrusivcly; its
springs smooth out the effects OF

1T would be absurd to pretend
that, apart from performance, the
general design Of any American car
has bigger appeal to Europeans than
those built in this continent. We all
ask for il. and sometimes get, the
