In the new Chrysler “77" and “70", equipped with MULTI-RANGE GEAR SHIFT, Chrysler again transcends all experiences and ideals of power, of riding ease, of roomy luxury, of quality and value. These automobiles are new in the fullest sense of the word—new in design, new in con- struction and new in performance. Chrysler, in these three cars—the “77", “70" and 66" — antiquates even its own accomplishment and sets an entirely new standard. The new six-cylinder Chrysler “66"—at the lowest price of any six to bear the name of €hrysler—takes its place in this newest and great- est group of Chrysler cars as a typical Chrysler value. In its own field, it achieves results as revolu- tionary as the “77" and “70" achieve in theirs. We invite you to an early inspection and demonstration of Chrysler's most remarkable cars.
