ANNOUNCING NG CAR, 5 PASSENGERS, Srags A NEW LINE OF SinerMotor Cars AT LIOWER PRICES OWNERS are asking a brand new deal in the making and pricing of motor cars. No longer are they willing to pay luxury prices to satisfy their personal standards. They are making no compromises on essentials—on performance, distinction, comfort, lasting quality and economy. But they are giving economy its real mean- ing. More miles per gallon of gas, of course—more miles a0 per dollar of purchase price and running expense. The 1923 Stephens line is built to meet this demand for high-quality, distinctive motor cars at substantially lower prices. Two new models: Seven body styles For the first time, Stephens presents two distinct models and seven body types. Three of these—a powerful 7-passenger Touring car, the luxurious 7-passenger Sedan and the intriguing new sport type «Foursome”—have a longer wheel base. Completing the line are a robust Tour- ing car for five, a graceful 5-passenger Sedan, a spirited Touring Sedan seating five and a sleck and rangy Roadster. Every 1923 Stephens is the best car of its type we have ever designed and built. Chassis wnits give index of valne Delco ignition, Timken axles, Gemmer steering, Fedders radiator and Mather springs, all chassis units are first quality. The responsive, Stephens-built motor, with its intake manifold entirely inside the cylinder head, develops 59 horse power. The Stephens bodies, with their gracefal contours, lustrous finishes and spacious comfort, complete the alluring picture. Sce the Stephens cars at the Show.

The new Kissel accelerates from 5 to 60 miles an hour in half a minute, but without the custom- ary vibration between these speeds. At the same, time total car weight has been reduced by hundreds of pounds, yet strength has been added; there is new refinement of distinctive Kissel lines—the natural outgrowth of seventeen years’ experience in the creation of fine cars. With the announcement of this new line for 1923 Kissel enters into quantity production of the Custom-Built Six, thus making possible sub- stantially lower prices. Yet, every standard of fine hand craftsmanship has been rigidly maintained, and every exclusive Kissel feature preserved.
