In a very real sense, too, it com- with no other car or class, NO car, either here or abroad, provides features that are comparable. To enjoy these advan- tages you must buy THIS car, for elsewhere they simply do not exist. Revolutionary New Principles of Design 1. For the first time since the inven- tion of the automobile, the chassis and body of The Victory are a sin- le integral unit--the wide, deep ictory chassis frame, flush with the lines of the body, replaces the cus- tomary body sills. (Heretofore, the ywas mountedon a sill and both in turn mounted on the chassis.) 2. For the first time in history, battleship construction (i.e., double steel walls) is here applied to the motor car. Spectacular Performance 'The results of these, and other basic innovations are astonishing in their effect on every phase of motor car value; beauty, comfort, safety, strength and most impressive and important of all -- performance itself. With chassis and body a single unit, there are 330 fewer parts--175 pounds less weight--and an ex- tremely low center of gravity. The results are greater motor effi- ciency--increased power--quicker pick-up--greater stability and flex- ibility in relation to load--an easier car to handle--a faster car to drive! 21miles to the gallonat25 miles per hour is precisely what you can ex- pect--with sustained high speed all day long at instant call! Drive over cobbles and await the usual discomfort--it will never oc- cur! The Victory is the smoothest riding car, for its type, ever built. Safe, Strong and Stable Because the chassis frame conforms recisely with the body lines--and int of the car's low center of gravity (weight close to the ground) The Victory is remark- ably stable--tipping, skidding and swaying are reduced to a point positively negligible! Turn a sharp corner and you will understand!

A staunch body, with doors that close with a su stantial and non-metallic snap. Quiet and Comfortable The aim of all engineering is sim- plicity, for simplicity means econ omy--strength--SILENCE. There are only 8 major parts in The Victory body--and they are welded into a single unit. Not a joint to squeak or rattle. A silent body. And Dodge Brothers powerful new six-cylinder motor--specially engi- neered for The Victory--preserves this luxurious quietness atall speeds. A Car of Striking Beauty Body and chassis built as a single unit--without the customary body sill--permits lower over-all height with liberal head-room and road- clearance. Splash shields, a constant source of noise and annoyance are replaced by the wide, deep Victory chassis frame; wide, heavy-gauge one-piece fenders and drum-type head-lamps are provided. Upholstery, hard- ware, instruments, color combina- tions and other appointments satisfy the most exacting demands of style and good taste. Indeed, you have a distinct and thrilling impression that the car in which you are riding is long, low, swift and safe--a car of surpassing originality and smartness down to the smallest detail.
