No wonder these cars are now sell-

arc falling. All the old comfort
standards are going into the discard.
New highs in relaxation are being
written into the record. Power and
speed are here with quality of
smootbness and stability never
known before. Yes, this is the top
value Of this startling year and of
all wears To date. just take ride,

A MAN INTENAs walked into Dodge
showroom last week and, BANG
he bought five Fluid Drive Dodges
with a sweeping wave of his arm-one
for each member Of his family. That
sweeping wave Of the Texas mans
arm was his way of saying-There's
no use talking or comparing-there's
nothing else that touches Dodge"
That wave of the arm was also a sign
ofthat great wave Of sales success that
is sweeping the country as DODGE
ALI.-FIIID DRIVE now comes
blasting into its own.
