More power per pound of car weight made it possible. Rugged Dodge construction made it prac- tical. And the Victory's unusual design made it SAFE. For the Victory gravity center is lower and there is no body over- bang.... The chassis frame is the full width of the body--and the body sills are eliminated. Exceptional charm of line and more headroom and seat width are further vital results of this unique construction. Drive the car today and make your own comparisons! 51095 4-DOOR SEDAN, F. O. B.
