I t Pays to Own a Dodge! (It could save you hundreds of dollars!)

\

Okay, It's settled. You've thought about It and talked about it and now you've decided: A new car—and *oon. Now for the jackpot question. Which '59 car will it be?

Unless you happen to be a Mr, Gotrocks, you'll probably think pretty carefully before you finally make the move. You'll do more shopping and compare more doeely. And you'll ask yourself some basic questions. How much trill a new car cost mt to buy? How much will it coft m to drive? What do I ed for my moneyf

Thire is m mystery about new car p r im

Until this year, it was hard to compare different makes of cars to find which offered the most value for the money. It was like comparing apples and bananas. But not any more. Not sincc ail new ears are required to carry price labels. Now, for the first time, you can compare various makes and models and see exactly what you're getting for your money. It 's like exposing the bole cards in a game of stud poker: You know exactly where you stand.

Why AmM yw twy a Dedfi?

Ko one has to tell you that there are a number of cars on the market that sell for less than a Dodge. No ngar on that count. You know it and we know i t But there are things you get in a Dodge that you simply can't get in the* other smaller cars.

And this is important Dodge gives yon all of these things—the bigness and roominess, the comfort and ride, the luxury and prestige -for ten than other can IN its field.

B E T T E R B Y

It 's not just a few dollars less, either; in many cases it's literally hundreds of dollar$ leas. Some Dodge models are even priced lower than the JO-called "low-priced cars." (We'll be happy to show you the actual suggested retail prices,)

A l o n m t maty !• m — b a t bow moch?

It would be nice if you just bought a new car and that was tha t It didn't burn gas. Didn't use oil. Never needed service. But that's wishful thinking. Cars do use gas and oil. They do nwd servire occasionally. But that doesn't mean that all care cost the tame to drive and maintain. Not by a jugful. There's a big difference.

Dodfi is M p r f to m for tess

Dodge has always had a reputation for economi-cal operation. People who have owned them have found it costs less to run a Dodge, and that a Dodge needs service lest often. Take gasoline economy. The new Dodge 326 cu. in. Red Ram V-8 engine, because of its design and efficiency, will take you miles farthsr on a gallon of gas than any other V-8 in the Dodge field. You save noney every mile you drive.

But that . only part of the story. The way Dodge is engineered and built saves you money on such things as engine wear, brake relining, tune-upa, spark plug replacement When you add them all up, they represent quite a saving. Another reason why ' t pays to own a Dodge.

What to yoo tet for what yos pay?

According to Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices, Dodge generally costs less, model for model, than other cars in ite field. Fine and dandy. But while prire is important It isn't the only consideration. The real standard of value— whether you're buying a new car or a can of

beans—U a hat you get for what you pay. It 's the "extras" you gat at no extra cost that really determine which oar it the best buy.

M f o f i m yoi non Mr l i t t Talk is cheap. Anyone can make dahns. So let's be spedfic about the extras you get in Dodge at no extra cost. Torsion-Aire Ride—conceded the finest suspension in the industry—standard equip-ment on all Dodge models. Total-Contact Brakes, Safety-Rim Wheels. Electric Windshield Wipen, Independent Parking Brake—all standard on Dodge. Of course, you can also choose from such Dodge options as Push-Button Driving. Full-Time Power Stetring and Swing-Out Swivel Beats.

Thon'saMf to comfort, IM Goodnew knows, we certainly fen't rant to knock competition. But we feel attyotod to point out the comfort and convenie&M of the '59 Dodge. If you've tried getting into some at the other '59 ears you know just what we mean. To say it is difficult would honestly be an under-statement That's why we hope you'll come in and compare the difference in Dodge. How much easier it is to get in and out of a Dbdg*. How much more comfortable it is to sit in • Dodge. How much more room you have to stretch ou t Really, it pays to own a Dodge.

It tasil nst i pony M cot fto facts We don't expect you to rush in and plunk down your money for a new Dodge just on the basis of what you've read. But if what you've read seems to make aanse. we do hope you'll stop in to see, to drive and to price a Dodge. We think it's a whale of a buy, but then maybe we're prejudiced. Why not drop in and judge for yourself. We'll be more than happy to give you al! the facta. No obligation, of course.
