Chrysler's sensational rise from 27th to 3rd place in sales in 42 months is the result of a phe- nomenal public preference that has continuously demanded a record-breaking volume of quality motor cars..

Chrysler's tremendous produc- tion and rapid growth are the direct results of public recog nition of values and savings which only Chrysler Stand- ardised Quality can provide. You will then 'instantly recog nise why Chrysler cars-by the most astounding price, savings which result from a huge and rapidly growing public de- mand are today more than ever the most marvelous motor car values in their respective price classes.
