Strong with the strength of steel

*Beneath the beauty of the Dodge Six

is strength-the resilient strength that

is inherent in steel. Under the sparkling finish and the luxurious upholstery is the all-metal Mono-Piece Body, welded so that it is virtually one piece of steel, anchored inflexibly to the chassis. Elimination of body sills, lowering the center of gravity, and use of a rigid eight-inch frame are factors of safety in this unit construction. Thus is upheld the time-honoured Dodge Brothers reputation for dependability that keeps old friends and that makes new ones for the Dodge Six.
