basic improvements and. continued refine
ments in transmissions and engines, new
comfort and safety features, new styling
concepts which year by year make General
Motors cars such outstanding values.
Let me cite just one example: Air Suspen-
sion time-tested on GIN buses and trucks
has now been adapted by our engineers
for passenger car use. Without question,
Air Suspension represents the greatest
advance in riding comfort since knee-action
was introduced in our Silver Anniversary
year. Whether the passenger load is 100
pounds or 1000 pounds, your car will now
level itself to glide over bumps with exactly
the same incredible smoothneSs.
Air Suspension is, as say, but one example
of our 1858 advances Throughout General
Motors our sights have been set on 1883
with the aim of bringing to market the finest
and most satisfying line of automobiles in
our history.
How well we have succeeded is evidenced by
the brilliant new cars soon to be on display
in the showrooms of our dealers from
Coast to Coast.
