This winter the New Star Four and the New Star Six were di played for the first time. A large deater organization has been built up around the Star, and over a hun- dred of these cars are already in the hands of owner: Chrysler 58 Auto Is High Grade Car The Chrysler. 58 car comes to the Show this year displaying unusual | appearance and performante al ities, designed and built by the same group who designed and are produc- ing both the larger Chrysler ca‘ and who, in two years, have almo: completely revoluiionized motor car design and construction. Reception @f this four cylinder car ‘by the public to date has surpassed that ever given @ comparable model. Its sales since its announcement last July have? alread: exceeded 50,000. Motor’ car authorities consider it equally as notable an achievement in its field as its famed companions. It is built to the same close manufac- turing limits and of the same high quality materials. “The car is the outgrowth of ri search, design and test which result- ed in the conception of the first Chrysler,” is the comment of Walter P. Chrysler, president of the organ- ization, who has ‘become one of the dominant personalities in the auto: motive field. s abilities new to cars of its ype and price have resulted in the widely heralded statement made for it of “25 miles to the gallon, 58 miles an hour and 5 to 25 miles in eight seconds.” It is pointed.out that it is very unusual for a car in this price | range to have this combination of performance qualities. “Its design is one of the soundest on the market,” says Mr. Chrysler. “It is a remarkably simple, compact, efficient, ecanomical car, possessed of an inherefit freedom from vibra- ture, In thie car the motorist is giv- extremely practicable from a manu- en greater roominess than in many facturing standpoint.” itis built in f It in five models—touring | cars with longer wheelbase. car, club coupe, coach, four-door se-| All closed bodies are by Fisher, and new roadster—for the bene-| with one-piece vision-ventilating it of the thousands who desire in a| win jeld,-. rapid acting window lower priced car the same compara-| lifters and high quelity upholstery tive superiorities embodied in the|and hardware. if ‘ larger Chryslers. “The Chrysler organization is The engine actually delivers 38.5.

Engine lubrication is by positive, force feed, sending a continuous flow of oil under pressure to all main ‘bearings and, through drilled passages in the crankshaft, to all connecting rod ‘bearings.

Makers who cannot manufacture economically because of inadequate facilities, who are forced to buy many or most parts from parts mak- ers, necessarily are confronted with obstacles which make difficult com- petition, with manufacturers equipped to produce cars on a one-profit basis, such as Ford and Studebaker. With several cars selling at about the same price, obviously that man- ufacturer can give most quality of materials and workmanship who in- cludes in his costs the least amount of profits paid out to parts makers; who can use that profit, instead, to buy better materials, better work- This ingenious arrangement, Mr. Chrysler says, gives no opportunity for rumble or tremor to reach the body of the car or its occupants. It promotés an unmistakable smooth- ness to engine and chassis operation particularly, he says. Chassis is of unusually sturdy con- struction, Added to the customary design of strong, stiff cross members is a stout torque tube at the front, and a wide, strong integral brace of gauge metal at the rear. Frame weaving and distortion—-the two ac- tions that loosen body bolts and set up squeaks—are thus largely over- come.

In the quarter of a century that preceded the coming of the Chrysler, there is nothing in the industry remotely approaching this over- whelming Chrysler popularity. Here is recorded a most significant tribute. Not only to those supreme superiorities with which the first Chrysler sounded a new note in. motor car engineering and craftsmanship; but also to the later refinements in perform- ance, beauty and comfort which—with the addi- tion of the new Chrysler Imperial “80” to the Chrysler “70” and the Chrysler “58”—haye immeasurably increased Chrysler's leadership.
