Today's Quickest Car
The quickened tempo of this new age of speed and dash · produced the La Salle. It is the car of cars for people who desire to move quickly because they think and live quickly- --who are alive in every nerve and muscle. It is primarily their car, because it is the quickest car built today. It accel erates more quickly than any other car. It responds to the steering wheel so swiftly thær it seems almost to obey your mind rather than your hand. It is a charming, quick and Ecalous servant--always ready to do more than you really require, and doing it more smoothly and willingly because of its 90-degree, V-type, eight cylinder engine.
