Frankly, believe you will find that the Chryse
Windsor is the only real luxury car that sells at
medium price a car far in advance of its contem
porares and ahead of its time We would like to put yo
behind the wheel of this E. because we've foun
from actual comparative demonstrations that out O
4 open-minded men who drive ChrySler for the frs
time prefer it to anything else.
There arc many reasons. In the first place the 195
Chryser is the only in its price class that has bee
completely restyed this year 1t has that hartrigger
look for which designers have been striving many years
We call it "PowerSVle"
But there's more to the ChrySler story than
styling. There's power more power
to pass safely when necessary more
power to drive without effort more k Ssksm
power TO stop.
There is not a car on the road today
completely power-operaed as the Power

is controlled by puShbuttonS the Eazsz

But the point is, if each and every individual does not
take upon himself get out the largest vote in history in
effort to defeat the liquor referendum then he will have
right to criticize the consequences that Will follow. If he
opposes the sale of liquor but doesn't make the effort
