First thing noticeable about the
new Plymouth cars is how much
lower they are This striking ap-
pearance OF greater loWnesS and
width is emphasized by heavy,
broad tenders, long horizontal
grille bars and massive bumper
design. Between bumper and grille
is a broad splash guard that helps
keep mud from splashing on the
front Of the car. Underneath the
wide, heavy bumper is an aircraft
style air scoop which adds TO the
high efficiency OF Plymouth's
cooling system.
The effect Of unusual lowness is
achieved by lower roof lines and
q long. 117-inch wheelbaSe, at the
same time retaining normal head
room. The lowered center of grav-
ity gives increased stability TO the
ride. Also. the safety all-steel body
is widened 10 enclose and conceal
the running boards, keeping them
clean and free from ice and snow.
Stepping IN or out or the car is
easier than ever. The low floor is
level with the running boards.
There is no raised sill TO step over
or TO make cleaning difficult.
Seats are unusually spacious,
and IN sedan models are exactly
the same width both front and
rear. Front seats are adjustable
over 5-inch range. 4
Savings in Fuel
Savings in fuel consumption and
lower cost OF operation are coupled
with the greater performance Of a
95 horsepower engine that delivers
10 per cent more power, and at the
same time, even better economy
than before. With this engine de-
sign Plymouth engineers have met
the special needs Of today, that Of
helping motorists conserve the
nations fuel supplies.
Increased output Of IS horse
power is obtained at lower
engine speed-3400 rpm, which is
a considerably slower rate than
that Of many automotive engines
today. This added horsepower at
lower speeds permits the use OF a
lower rear axle gear ratio (3.9).
which also allows the engine 10
run considerably slower and make
fewer revolutions per mile. This
gives increased economy in fuel
and oil, and in lower upkeep costs.
Also contributing TO fuel econ
omy is a high compression ratio,
that is now $50 TO /. Equally i'm
portant is unusual reduction Of
wear through use OF Superfinished
parts, a protecting oil filter, an oil
bath air cleaner and a floating oil
intake.
