NY number of men who were aviators in the War now own Cleveland Sixes—simply be- cause aviation gave them a good understanding of real engineering, and a love for sweet-running powerful motors. One thing is sure—Cleveland Six could never win all the performance records it wins, or stand up as it does, or hold the friends it holds, if it were not for the wonderful way the car is built. Quality goes all the way in every step of design- ing, in every feature of engineering, in every phase of workmanship. Cleveland’s strapping big motor is of advanced “L” head design—smooth as smooth can be, and quiet as a whisper—a mechanism that itself in the pink of condition by utilizing the full benefits of high-pressure lubrication. And think of the convenience of this car’s famous “One Shot” System of centralized chassis lubrica- tion! At a mere press of your heel on a plunger, the “One Shot” System automatically feeds fresh, clean oil to the various bearings and bushings throughout the chassis—all at once! In eye-value, performance-value, comfort-value, money-value,in every way you judge an automobile, Cleveland Six stands right up front in its price class —a car you can keep and prize for a long, long time.
