Speed—more than you'll ever need —here it is. Absolute dependability—dirt roads or concrete. No hitting the top on jounces when you hit the pace on high. A wheel that steers with a finger. Quick pick-up—to get away before the mob.: Internal hydraulic four-wheel brakes that grip instantly—without grabbing or slipping. A constitution. that makes you look forward to hills. And your wife wants? . . . More comfort inside—more room. A rear seat wider at the bottom to prevent crowding, wider still at shoulder height— no cramping on long runs. A front seat wider, too—so a third-passenger won'’t turn you into a crak;by driver. Since squeaks set her wild, she wants body-work welded instead of bolted or riveted . . . And, of course, she wants beauty —clean’ line that spells speed from nose to spare. No an- nouncement could sell either of you a car, no matter what it said. This one is designed to make you go-and look—and take a trial spin. Flying Cloud the Master has already proved itself. If the Mate is half the car we think it is, it will do its own selling.
