HILL CLIMBING ABILITY?
On the 7% test hill at the Proving Grounds, this job did 51 M.P.H, easily over the top. ACCELERATION ? -
There will be no need of apologies after stop- ping for traffic lights or in get-away after a traffic jam. This job has real pop, MANOEUVREABILITY?
The varied tread,-54 inch front. 56 inch rear, and the 107 inch wheelbase give a remarkably short turning circle of only 37 feet-a mighty fine parking advantage.
ROADABILITY ?
At 70 miles per hour this job is exceptionally steady and free from “roughness.” PASSENGER ROOM AND COMFORT ?
Mounting the motor well forward develops ample legroom for all passengers and driver. The balance between spring action and shock absorbers develops "big car" smoothness.
