Conveniently Located on Fourteenth Street 1333-37 14th St. Main 5780 Prepare for the l)iggest surprise in Ii‘isnew EACH year brings new names, new models, new refinements in conventional design. But only at rare intervals appears a radical advance in automotive engineering, electric starting and lighting, balloon four-wheel brakes. The year 1926, with The NEW STUTZ, will mark a new motor car epoch. This new car is destined to influence all future engineering practice connected with the production of fine automobiles. This is not merely the opinion of the car’s makers. The conviction has been expressed, even more émphatically, by outside, and even competitive, engineers who have examined The NEW STUTZ—who have ridden in it and driven it. First of all, The NEW STUTZ gives the motorist a new degree of safety—increased protection for the car’s passengers the car itself. . This is attained Vchi:flv by a radical lowering of the center of gravity—the floor of The NEW STUTZ is five inches lower than convention- al chassis design permits. n years NEW STUTZ o (-] engineering; Greater—far greater—stability is thus secured. There can be no two opinions on this point. And this is accomplished while maintaining full road clearance and headroom. Other new features contribute to the super- safety of The NEW STUTZ. Thc frame is the most rigid on any car; the car is more easily controlled; the new principle of brak- ing is of greater efficiency; the acceleration is more rapid; the running boards are of pressed steel—actually side-bumpers; the front corner- posts are narrow, giving unobstructed vision; the windshield is of safety-glass. The NEW STUTZ is vibrationless at all speeds — an almost incredible statement, yet confirmed through tests by leading engineers from other organizations. There is no noise of valve operation and no noise at the rear axle or elsewhere. It is a car so surpassingly quiet that it seems moved by magic. The chassis in The NEW STUTZ is self- lubricated, automatically; there is a triple- duty oil rectifier and an air-cleaner of proven efficiency; dual ignition; and, of course, in- numerable conveniences and refinements in keeping with its basically advanced design. such as tires, or and for e .:.'5‘.,"'.‘. ; of seructe. spervision Brewster of New York.
