CAR
TOURING
The comfort and beauty of this new touring car are instantly apparent. Long underslung springs, deeper seats and greater body length have resulted in an unusual degree of riding case. The body is exceptionally trim and graceful. Swung low to the road, with long, straight hood-and-cowl effect and tasteful appointments, the car reveals new value and sound workmanship in every detail.
The engine which remains essentially the same-needs no eulogy. It has proved its power and economy to nearly a million
owners.
The price of the Standard Model five- passenger Touring Car complete with Magneto and with five Cord Tyres is $2,400.
