CHRYSLER
New Grace, New Style, New Beauty
Greater Value
Chrysler's new style is so original that Imitation even in the least detail must plainly indicate the source of inspiration. Its pleas ing grace more than ever obsó-" letes the bulky and cumbersome. The new Chryslers differ from all other motorcars in theirutterly new treatment of slender-pro- file radiator, air-wing mud. guards, arched windows-

a host of style features-added to a performance which out-Chryslers even Chrysler, 9 The simple fact that thousands of people now re alise that not even much more money will buy style, perform- ance, comfort, safety, depend ability and long life equal to the new Chrysler, is arousing a demand that Chrysler's larg est production is taxed to the limit to satisfy,

| MANY IMPROVEMENTS,
The new six-cylinder Chevrolet is destined to not only retain its posi- tion of leadership throughout the world but also to win millions of now friends, A study of the car's specifications reveals many interest- ing details. For example:
The crankshaft is of unusually rugged construction with large of- fclantly lubricated main and con- This crank necting rod bearinge,
is delicately balanced and made of the finest crankshaft stoel Dua to the short stroke of the engine the arms or throwe of the crankshaft | are comparatively short. This re- sults in a minimum of strain on the crankshaft and unusually smooth operation.
Quiet valve operation is obtained by automatic lubrication and of all valvo operating parts. The oil pump forces an ample quantity of oil up through a pipe to the valve mechanism. The oil is then allow- ed to flow through hollow shafts lubricating the rocker arins and the ball and socket joints at the upper end of the push rod..
On actual dynamometer tests the new Chevrolet engine develops 48 horsepower at the low engine speed of 2600 revolutions per minute. At all ordinary driving speed it deve- оря from three to four
of power
timen the amount
tho car. required 10 drive This surplus power, insures out- standing acceleration and flashing performance,
The new aix cylinder motor again offers the time proved valve-in-head design. Years of research and test. ing have also made it possible to develop an Improved combustion chamber resulting in a surprising amount of power. High compres sion is used successfully with out de- tonation of spark knocking as it in frequently called.
The new motor is provided with three openings through which thei xas passess through the cylinders. Thie Insures n plentiful supply of gas when running at top speed,
Your exhaust openings remove burned gossca quickly from the motor. This is another feature of improved engine performance.
Goe passes through the heated ex- hadat 'raanifold. This feature helps. to vaporize the gas so as to obtain the maximum power from it.
Before this great improvement was offered every feature of design and performance was tested and proved over millions of miles under the hardest of driving conditions.
Chevrolet is able to offer to the public this outstanding value only because of its tremendous purchas- ing power in combination with Gen- eral Motors and its practically un- limited engineering tests and re- search facilities.
FIAT SIX CYLINDER IN MILAN-OSLO.
Italian motorists recently sought to honour the memory of the great Norwegian explorer, Amundsen, who perished in a gal- lant attempt to bring help to the crew of the Itala, by organizing a visit by road to the Norwegian capital. The run, which was or ganized by the Automobile Club of Milan, was rendered difficult by reason of the advanced season and the high altitude of the Countries traversed, and submitted both men and machines to a severe test.
Rain, snow, ice, and blting winds had to be endured, while the high average speed to be main- tained for the distance of nearly 1,400 miles, made it necessary to drive at a fast pace. Among the cars taking part in the run was a Flat model 520 six cylinder, with Mr. Eugene Siivani, of Milan, at the wheel. This car behavod ex- cellently throughout, and was one of those arriving within the time Ilmit imposed. The driver stated that not only the public by the roadside but the drivers of other cara were much impressed by the speed, the acceleration and the rond holding qualities of the Flat, which was one of the, few cars to get through without serious diffi- culty.
