THE SUNDAY JANUARY 31, 1932—PART EIGHT. 13 T&l]flj/ /S ChI‘YSlGI‘ Day i W ashingion... FIRST SHOWING oF NEW CHRYSIER CARS wizh STAR, WASHINGTON, D..C, FLOATING POWER PATENTED AND:FPULLY PROTECTED PLUS CHR\'SLER announces four new Chrysler cars — a new Chrysler Six and three new Chrysler Eights — all with patented Floating Power! That is the most important statement that could be made about a motor car — for Floating Potwer is the greatest en- gineering development of modern times. Floating Power gives Chrysler performance a smooth- ness never before expected of a motor car. When driving at any speed, power tremor is absolutely wiped out of both frame and body. The great flow of Chrysler power at all speeds is in- credibly smooth and soft and silent. Easiest Cars to Drive In addition to Floating Power, the new Chrysler Auto- matic Clatch makes driving supremely simple. Nothing for your left foot to do but be comfortable. You don't have to touch the clutch pedal when starting from a standstill, or changing gears, or even when using reverse. Your left foot is perfectly idle; nothing to press; nothing to touch. Gear-shifting really isn’t gear-shifting, in the old sense, with Chrysler's new Silent Gear Selector. When you re- lease the accelerator, you move the lever freely into place in any direction, at any car speed, with no more effort than moving a lead pencil. Because—when you move the lever to select a higher or a lower speed, the transmission gears are not revolving. They are at rest, disconnected from the engine by the Automatic Clutch, and discon- pected from the rear wheels by the entirely separate Free Wheeling unit behind the transmission. You may, of course, lock out both the Automatic Clatch and the Free Wheeling unit, and instantly return to conventional driving at any time or speed by simply pulling out a button on the dash. Finer, Safer Brakes A definite new advantage has been added to Chrysler's self-equalizing Hydraulic Brakes in the form of new Cen- trifuse brake drums. A steel drum with cast-iron lining —permanently fused together. Under all conditions, Chrysler brakes last longer, remain cooler, retain uniform efficiency and give a quicker, “softer” and more positive > o 0l LITE SOUEAK- "‘.,DOUBLE DROP AUTOMATIC ‘CLUTCH SILENT GEAR SELECTOR FREE WHEELING HYDRAULIC BRAKES e ALL-S.TE'EI; 'BODY PROOF SPRINGS GIRDER TRUSS : FRAME action. A development that adds safety at faster speeds. Chrysler steel bodies are All-Steel construction — rig- idly reinforced and welded into one piece — the kind of construction that gives you the safety you should have and should demand. Adding still further to your protec- tion and comfort is a new Double-Drop Girder-Truss Frame of tremendous strength and rigidity. Good-bye, All Spring Squeaks New patented Oilite Squeak-Proof Springs on all three of the new Eights give a softer, more restful ride in addition to having the great advantages of mever squeak- ing, and mever needing lubrication. Despite mud, water, ice or dirt — these springs will not squeak. Besides all of these outstanding superiorities, Chrysfer retains the following important basic features — pioneered or popularized by Chrysler and features of Chrysler cars for years: In the Eights, a 4-speed transmission with in- ternal Dual High Gears; in the Six, a Silent-Second Easy-~ Shift Transmission; all have the high-compression engine; full force-feed lubrication; ventilated crankcase; aluminum allov Invar Strut pistons; counterweighted crankshaft; modern fuel system with fuel pump; oil filter; air cleaner and intake silencer; noiseless spring shackles; cowl venti- late?s; small base wheels and large tires; adjustable front interior sun visors; indirectly lighted instrument parel; treadle-type accelerator — and many others. All of the new Chryslers are noticeably low, smart and flest in appearance. The bodies are larger and roomier, with grently increased luxury in design, finish and appointments. More powerful cars than ever. Faster than ever. If you like real speed, Chrysler has it. You may never care to sirive 75~85—90 miles an hour, but the great power th#2 makes these speeds possible makes Chrysler per- formance at any speed you choose to drive the most enjoyable performance under the sun. Drive one of these new Chryslers and learn what a truly modern car it is. Five body models—32-horsepower engine, $835 to $935. (Automatic Clutch on ali Sixes, $8 extra.) Six body models — 125-horsepower engine, $2395 to $3595. ARl prices £. o. b. factory. Duplate Safety Plate Glass obtainable on all medels &t slight extra cont.
