Money cannot buy three finer safety
factors than Dodge Mono-Piece Steel
Bodies, Low Center of Gravity and
Hydraulic Brakes.
The feeling of security you get when
you drive the new Dodge Six and Eight
is due to Mono-Piece Steel Bodies, Low
Center of Gravity and Dodge Hydraulic
Brakes and the way these factors are
engineered in harmony with the tremen-
dous power of the new Dodge engines.
Low center of gravity is achieved by
double-drop frame with a new-type
box center which makes the chassis ex-
tremely strong and rigid.
Further lowness is contributed by the
fact that the squeakless, jointless Mono
Piece Steel Body is mounted directly to
the chassis without body silIs shar-
ing the strength and steadiness of the
heavy frame.
Dodge Hydraulic Brakes are always

kept in adjustment by the Interchangeable
law of hydraulics. They are fully en-.
closed, completely weatherproof, easy to
operate, sure, safe GlvGyS the most
positively equalized brakes known.
These features mean protection to you,
extra value for you, every minute you
spend in your car. Why accept less in
the car you buyP
See and drive the beautiful new Dodge
cars. Learn their performance, comfort,
economy and dependability. The more
you study them, the more you will
realize why they are recognized every.
