You car see him now ... a friendly wave of the hand as he streaks off toward the clouds, fast aslightning. And how you envy him his place in the cockpit! But you need envy him no longer. For the tingling thrill that makes sky-riding such won- derful sport has now been brought to motordom by the Gardner Eight-in-line. The thrill of air-coasting! Tremendous power flashing back its ready answer when you feed that soundless Eight-in-line motor a little gaso- line and step on the starter. Away from a stand- ing start to all the law allows in the flash of an eye... steering with the touch of a finger ... stopping with the tip of your toe. Gliding so smoothly and quietly over the road that you think you are actuaily coasting on air. If there is anything that will make a full-grown man fall in love with a fine motor car, this de new motoring experience is it. And you'll know it within fifteen minutes after your take the wheel.
