Some things you can see right away that
tell you this is the year of the big Dodge
move. (Sales have doubled over last year!)
You can stack the new Dodge up against
other cars in its field, and see how much
larger and more luxurious it is: Up to 9
inches longer than competition.
You can see the distinction of new Dodge
ityling, with eager lines that are stealing
the “OH’s” from the costliest cars. The
swept-back sweep-around windshield. The
“sparkle” of twin-jet taillights and three-
tone color combinations. The beauty of
Jacquard tapestry interiors.
But more important than this is the deep-
down dependability engineered into every
unseen pari and feature of this great Dodge!
That is something you discover through
the years and over the miles. It is your
sure reward for choosing the new Dodge,
