ENGINEER SAYS
MORE TO FOLLOW
LEAD OF DODGE

The enthusiastic public reception
of the Mono-piece body construction,
an exclusive feature of the eight
models in the new Dodge Brothers
Six line, has been given added sig
nificancc by engineering predictions
that "'thc all metal seamless body
is the automobile body Of the flu
turc.
This prediction was made by
George j. Mercer, consulting body
engineer, and former chairman of
the the committee on standards,
body division of the Society Of Auto
motive Engineers, before a recent
meeting of the Cleveland section of
the $. \. f.
The all-metal seamless body is
identical with the Mono.piece con-
struction offered on all new Dodge
Brothers Six cars. In this body, the
four ma jor metal sections are welded
into one piece. Exhaustive engineer
ing tests have proven the welded
joints stronger than any other part
of the body. Outstanding advantages
claimed in this construction include
stability, sturdiness, silence, safety,
roominesS and improved appearance.
All outside seams and joints are
eliminated, preventing annoying
squeaks and rattles at tens Of thou
sands of miles. Height is saved
with no sacrifice of head or leg
room by special horizontal-vertieal
boiling of the body directly to the
chassis frame that eliminates the
conventional sill separating the body
and chassis in other forms of con
struction. This lowering of the
passenger load makes for lower cen
ter of gravity, safety and more per
feet balance under every driving

POPULARITY OF
De SOTO SHOWS
NO DIMUNITION

Astounding in every respect is the
record made by the Chrysler-built
DeSoto Six since its announcement
several months ago.
This is the opinion of j. E. Fields
who, in addition to heading the De
Soto Motor Corporation as president,
is also vice-president in charge of all
Chrysler Corporation sales.
"Iittle more than six months old,
the DeSoto Six has established itself
firmly as the leader in its price
field,' says Fields. "ln this short
space Of time it has won an enthus-
iastic dealer acceptance and an even
more enthusiastic public acceptance.
No other car has equalled its record
for sales and production during the
first months following its announce
ment and no other car has brighter
prospects for even greater success
during the coming year.
when the DeSoto Six was first
exhibited last August it gained an
immediate and unmlstakable ac-
ceptance by the motor buying public.
Dealer after dealer reported crowded
show rooms and n rush of orders en-
sued. The style and appearance of
the new car, its adult size and bril-
liant performance, backed by the
high reputation Of Chrysler motor
ears, made it at once apparent that
the DeSoto Six was in itself It new
standard Of value in the field of
moderate priced skies.
Behind the success Of the De
Soto Six from the moment that it
was projected up to the present time,
have been ChrysIer 5 vast resources
and the rich background of Chrys-
ler's experience in designing, manu-
featuring and marketing quality au-
tomobiles. The success Of DeSoto is
peculiarly Il Chrysler success be-
cause, | believe, such quality could
have come from no other sources.
Such unbounded confidence could
have been displayed in no other
manufacturer. Only the Chrysler

could result in so meritorious car
