entirely new style creations in the low-priced field

PLYMOUTH

ALL Chrysler research, engineering and manufacturing have been inspired by the fundamental motive of giving ever greater quality and value.

Now with a new product-the Plymouth Chrysler is the first to give at so low a price, the advantages of performance, riding case, dependability and full adult size which characterise fine cars of higher price.

The Plymouth finally answers the search

•for quality in the Iqw-priced field. The Plymouth assures in its advantages the full measure of quality and value to which buyers of low-priced cars have long been entitled.

We believe there has never been a car anywherenear its price that can approach the Plymouth for power, pick-up, smooth ness, easy handling, safety, quietness and roominess-nor that can equal it in beauty and style.
