A Body Of Marvelous Beauty

Nor has such beauty. such style. such smartness ever before been
approximated as this improved efficiency confers upon this distinguish-

The interior has been designed with such scientific exactness that the
waste space common to so many cars is made conspicuous by its absence.
While compact to the ‘last degree. this new and advanced motor-car crea-
tion is revolutionary in its roominess and comfort.
