A Year in Advance of Its Field Advanced L-head engine 4-wheel brakes Fisher Bodies Duco body finish Centralized controls All over America, they became better automobile buyers by seeing Oakland's “week of proof” —or some part of it. They know what Oakland will do, because they saw Oakland show features of design and performance that all other motor cars must eventually have. Check over these features—they’re listed here. Driving necessities— Disc steel wheels not sales innovations! Full balloon tires Permanent top on open cars. Special glass enclo- sure at slight extra cost New Fisher one-piece ventilating windshield on closed models Automatic spark control Unit instrument panel Precision manufacture Most of these advanced qualities have been part of the Oakland for more than a year. And back of that year were long years of six-cylinder experience—and a fixed determination to build the world’s most desirable light six. If you did not have an opportunity last week to see why the True Blue Oakland is a year in advance of its field, drop in to-day, or to-morrow, or any time. Drive it yourself. Road-test this True Blue Car. Then you will know that Oakland is building one of to-day’s very finest motor cars—and selling it at a very low price!
