Two-car ownership is an economy as well as a convenience. Time is precious; and the family which is isolated when the father drives away is shut off from many opportunities. A thrifty way to give your family the advan- tages of a second car is to buy a used car from a General Motors dealer. He is a selected merchant, a representative business man in his community. Every car in his store represents value in proportion toits price; and he alone can offer you the convenience and . satisfaction of the GMAC Plan of payment.
