August 13, 1926 WI L M ETTE LIFE 19 r A r CHRYSLER "70" Pioneer o{a New Order He fore the adn:nt of the Chn·sler "/0" t\\· r 1 and a half Year .~ ag-o the better car;; ,,·ere on~ fairly e\·en footing \\·ith ·practically nothing hut price to set one apart from the other . At that time \\"alter P. Chrysler sen~ed the general ptthlic di;;satisfaction \,·ith exi~ting car performance. I l e recognized that motoring need:-; h:ul dc,·elupcd to a point \\'here the public demanded superior. b~ter and safer tran~portation: a car \rith longer life: greater comfort. more easy to handle and quicker to accelerate in the maze of traffic. Thus the Chrysler "70" became the pione r of a ne\\· order of motoring and today ·more than eYer emphasize ~ the leadership it then assumed. For Chrysler \\·a s the first stock car t o giYe a speed of 70 miles and tnore per hour, an acceleration of 5 to 25 tnile.; in~~~ seconds and gasoline economy of 20 mile::; to the . gallon with such performance. Other adYanced features ,,·ere a motor with a seven bearing crank shaft in that price class; oil-filter, air-cleaner, an exclusi\'e spring mounting eliminating side sway even at highe"t speed~: and self-equalizing hydraulic four-wheel brakes. Coupled with the se unheard of mechanical perfections was ·a ne\\·ness ot de sign \Yhich pro,·ided comfort and roadability: a beauty that immediately won the approval of the most discriminating. · So great was the manifest superiority of the Chrysler "70" that it immediateh· exercised a marked influence on the entire industry-a;1 influence that has grown with each passing month. But there has-not yet appeared a single car, no n1atter what its outward re emblance to Chrysler, or that has adopted some of the features that Chn·sler introduced, which does the things that Chrysler does ~as Chrysler does them.
