Three billion doliars’ worth of con- crete roads, traffic conditions that did not cxist three years ago, all demand it. Styled in Europe— Built for America The Jubilee compact, economical, light Euro- 6-60" is an original, pean type, adapted throughout to meet America’s motoring needs. It has great driving speed, tremen- dous acceleration, high pullidg power at low speed and extreme flexibility. You can get 22 miles to the gallon of gas from its high-torque, long- stroke motor. You can shoot its speed from 5 to 25 miles in 73 seconds—and then up to 60 miles an hour. With the “'6-60™ 39 foot radius and park in a 14-foot space with one har.!d. And the pat- ented steering gear also self-centers you can turn in a the front wheels. The Moon-Lockheed four-wheel bydraulic brakes insure a safe, posi- tive stop— and they are the only kind that stay equalized against skidding. The “6-60" also includes slender, safety-vision windshield posts. They reduce the “blind spot” 47 per cent. They cut the possibility of accident by one-half. The “6-60"" has an cxtremcly low center of gravity, yet full road clear- ance. The car is only 70 inches high, yet a six-footer can sit in the car and’ drive with plenty of room.

The car is so attractively priced, so deliberately designed for the new traffic needs that it is bound to leap into instant popularity. See It Today See the Jubilee “6-60" today.
