Four Body Styles
The new Chrysler Six comes In
four body styles-a four door sedan;

ster, on which five wire wheels are

Outstanding distinction and smart
ness are keynotes of the recently in
troduced Chrysler Imperial Eight
custom models. designed and executed
in symmetrically pleasing fashion by
master artist designers.
The most pronounced accomplish
mert Of Chrysler engineers in the de-
sign of these new Fights has been the
unified development Of an advanced
type of strong steel body construction
and double drop frame, which to-
gether result in greatly reduced over
all height. lowered. center Of gravity,
absence OF Side-sway, improved road
ability, easier handling, and q general
air Of grace and smartneSS.
From the front Of their Whipped !
modern radiators to rear stoplights. |
these Fights are unusually distinc-
tive in appearance. Extreme lOWneSS |
and increased headroom have both |
been achieved, with no sacrifice Of !
road clearance.
Sloping windshields In keeping with |
the forward. slant Of the radiator |
front, bullet-shaped headlamps,
sweeping Arriving tenders and the |
fleet lines Of body deisgn are depar- !
lures from orthodox practice. The !
ChrySler designers have expressed the |
very spirit Of speed and power. The
OF the Chrysler Imperial
Eight are in two panels. All exterior
bright metal parts are chromium
plated. Chromium plating is used
also on the rims of the wire wheels
and along the edge Of the running
boards.
Steel Safety Bodies
The steel bodies used on all models
Of Chrysler Eight mark q decided
step forward in body building. Be- I;

The steel industry in the rolling Of

able to present a steel body in which
he front end, sides and rear COM
oartment are one-piece stampings,
Flasil-welded and solidly fused to-
yether into continuous walls Of great
trength.
Doors are single steel stampings
Welded together in a bridge type Of
construction. Depressions and ribs

revent lumbling. Annoying squeaks
nd rattleS are eliminated by perfectly
itting doors and windows.
Particular attention has been given
B body insulation, which is in the
prm of heavy felt around the dash
