Six models have been reduced $335.

—the Five-Passenger Phaeton $2250

—the Four-Passenger Runabout $2350.

Seven years ago these models were introduced as
America's first fine small cars.

Seven years have seen the public accept these cars to
an extent that now makes it possible to offer the sedan

for less than half its original price.

Seven years have seen each car developed to meet the
needs of the most discriminating fine car owner.
