All of the new compact makes now on sale fall in

room, to ride six big men in comfort.

He has designed some hotels

"The consensus seems to be,

he will be within a rotating

AUTOMOBILE history has been made in that
n new class Of cars has been created and
achieved unprecedented public acceptance.
This new class is the compact car class.
For our first eight years, there was only one
make of compact car-Rambler.
Now every major us. car manufacturer Of
fers his version of the compact car.
Because this class of cars is so new-and be-
cause so many conflicting claims are being made,
there is understandable puzzlement in the minds
of many as to what these compact cars are.
How does each compare with other compact
cars and with big cars and small cars-in price,
in economy, in performance, in room, in riding
comfort, in features?
How we'll do they fit the needs of motorists?
How does each measure up by the basic yard
stick of value-usefulnesS to the user?
AS the originator of the compact car-as the
first company to heed motorists demands for
more economical, less bulky six-passenger car
we know you need certain factual informa-
ton about the compact car field.
You need this information to clarity the con-
fused picture which has arisen because of the
many conflicting claims. Claims and counter
claims about compact cars seem almost as con-
Trajectory and confusing as those made during
the earlier horsepower race.
That is why we present these facts.

maneuverability and driving ease

How many kinds Of compact carr
Everyone realizes that there are major differences
between big cars in sze price, quality, comfort and
performance, but because the compact car field is

Rambler owners
Americas happiest.

u0PPbSSks
Surveys made by magazines and other impartial
organizations consistently show that Rambler own
ers are better satisfied with their cars than owners
of any other make at any price.
Rambler owners report fewer service troubles
More Rambler owners say they will buy the same
make again than the owners of any other cars.
What is the reason?
1t is Rambler's Basic Excelence-a refusal to
compromise with quality of materials or work.
manship.
Basic Excellence that pioneered rattleproof
Singe-Unit* construction, where body and frame
are welded as one lighter, stronger, safer unit.
Basic Excellence that pioneered Dcep-Dip' rust
proofng exclusive with Rambler, which resists
rust longer than spray methods.
Basic Excellence that builds up to a standard,
not down to price.
RambIer's superior quality control.
The Rambler plant in Kenosha produces more
complete automobiles than any other single plant
in America.
With production centered in one plant, instead
of scattered across the country, is much easier to
keep close watch on every car we build, much
easier to maintain strict uniform quality control
over every manufacturing processI
Now, as a result of constantly growing demand,
Rambler production has been expanded again-to
three full shifts, six days week.
But be assured, we will not sacrifice quality for
quantity production.
Every Rambler built on every shift will be as
carefully made and as painstakingly inspected as

When you compare claims with the facts, you
see that the Rambler American with room for five
big adult passengers, is by far the lowest-pnced
us. car.
What about economy
Another area in which conflicting claims have been
rampant is gasoline mileage.
Now the conflicting claims have been settled by
the first official economy test between the compact
cars.
A Rambler American Custom Sedan with over
drive averaged six-and-twO-thirds more miles per
gallon than any other compact car in the recent
Pure On Economy Trials at DaytOna Beach. The
event was under the strict supervision of NASCAR.
All other U.s. compact cars were entered.
One reason for Ramblers unusually wide victory
margin was that most competitive compact cars do
not offer gas-saving overdrive as transmission
option.
This economy win, added to Rambler's Mobigas
Economy records for best gasoline mileage, makes
Rambler undisputed US. economy leader.
Compare total economy.
But, gasoline mileage is just one measure of econ
omy. What about price, upkeep, depreciation?
You have already seen how Rambler Americans
in many cases save you hundreds of dollars on
price.
Fleet owners who keep records of maintenance
costs, down to the fraction of penny, report SUBJ
stantial savings on repairs for Ramblers.
