All this can mean but one thing. The auto- mobile of conventional 1926 and previousde- sign is doomed to obsolescence in 1927-8. The process began with the introduction of The NEW STUTZ; its exclusive engineering ideas will be taken up and carried on by numerous motor car manufacturers in the near future. 'HERE are many 1926 cars now upon the market. Cars designed in accordance with the usual conventional practise of 1926— which was also thee usual conventional prac- tise of 1925 and 1924. There is only one automobile that you can buy in 1926 which is really a 1927-1928 auto- mobile. For it is designed, not in accordance with the common practise of the past nor the general practise of the present, but with fore- knowledge of the practise of the future. This automobile, concededly far in advance of today’s conventional design and as con- cededly representing tomorrow’s trend in fine car engineering, is The NEW STUTZ—with Safety Chassis.
