Victory Six Show~ Hill Climbing Is Not Much of a Job Automobile hill climbing feats, her~ tofore confined to certain mountains, have been nationalized by Dodge ' Brothers in a series of tests to obtain a composite picture of Victory Six performance, according to C. . Miles · McDonald, Wilmette and Evanston Dodge dealer. Paved and unpaved inclines throughout. the country, kn. own to native motorists as "Show Me" grades, were picked to test the Victory's ability. All records. were made by different cars and dnvers unde~ varied conditions. Some of them follow: In Pennsylvania, the Victory Six started at the foot of the famous Cniontown hill in high gear with a <>peed of 18 mites an hour. The threemile climb to the summit around sharp curves and up grades of more than nine per cent was finished in high gear at 42 miles an hour. · Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tenn., was the scene of another test in which the Victory carried the driver and four passengers up the 4~ mile climb in eight minutes. The winding highway to the top leads to an altitude of 2,300 feet, and the entire trip was made in high gear, the speed at some points reaching 45 miles an hour . In the Rockies, Cheyenne Mountain, towering 9,200 feet =!~ove sea level, was easily conquered with a car load of passengers without the use of low gear. The road to the top is six miles long, and reverse turns make the climb unusually difficult. Corey Hill, known to every Boston motorist and many tourists, was negotiated in high gear all the way. The hill rises 187 feet in 2,000 feet of highway, and at one point. the grade is more than 15 per cent. New York reported a test run up Fort George HilJ, wh_ich is 4/10 of a mile long with a 9~ degree grade at the bottom and 11 degrees at the top. The start 'was made at five miles an hour in high gear at the bottom, and the car speed reached 25 miles an hour at the summit. It required just four minutes for the Victory to negotiate tpe two-mile winding highway up Mt. McGregor in New York state. The speed at the top was 25 miles an hour. Steep grades and hairpin turns make the climb one of the hardest east of ·the Rockies. Ascending Stone Mountain near Atlanta, Ga., proved a novel but successful venture. There is no road to the summit, and at one point it was necessary to go up a rock incline with ' a 25 per cent grade.
