Spectacular new qualities which produce driving and riding ease heretofore unknown in automobiles of any price feature the new line of Plymouth cars.

Designers have given the Plymouth Plym-outh a striking new silhouette, and refinements in the interior are innovations in-novations in the lowest price field. The styling improvements retain the traditional roominess of the cars. Easier to drive and more comfortable, comfort-able, the new cars have greater beauty, more safety features and broader ranges of vision than ever before. Engineers say the new "Safety-Flow "Safety-Flow ride" takes the bounce and wallop out of bumps. A new application appli-cation of hydraulic flow control in the shock absorbers provides a more gradual change of resistance during spring deflections and thus a softer ride when driving on average roads. It also exerts extra resistance on rough roads to a degree where driver and passengers are almost completely freed of the discomfort of being jolted around. The "Safety-Flow ride" is one of the greatest contributions to driving comfort and safety in recent years, according to D. S. Eddins, president of Plymouth Motor Corp. "The new Plymouth gives you roadability never before offered in any car," he said. "There is no necessity for steering wheel fatigue to control the car on difficult roads. The driver is no longer required to focus full attention on the condition of the road. He may be more watchful watch-ful of oncoming traffic, pedestrians, curves, crossroads and other potential poten-tial hazards." Eddins called the new development a major step toward restful motoring. motor-ing. More confidence is gained by driving or riding in a new Plymouth v.ith the "Safety-Flow ride," and as a result there is less driver and passenger fiilipu" h nIr). The lin of th- r-.r,r.uii-H have been beautified. An appearance of massiveness combined with smart streamlining is induced by a new grille, beautifully redesigned front fenders and hood, a wider windshield wind-shield and a larger rear window. Narrower windshield pillars together with the wider windshield provide additional lateral vision. To utilize fully the greater vision through the new rear window, the rear view mirror is two inches wider. The chair-height front seat and the new design of hood and front fenders permit the driver to see the road nearer the car. There are numerous mechanical improvements. Windshield wipers are electrically operated, and are of the single-speed, self-parking type. A unique pressure-vent radiator cap, which has been added as standard stand-ard equipment, permits the cooling system to be operated at atmospheric pressure during normal driving conditions. con-ditions. Under high-load, highm-perature highm-perature driving conditions, the new radiator cap provides a pressurized cooling system to allow high coolant temperature without boiling or loss of anti-freeze. All Plymouth engines now have a built-in by-pass cooling system permitting per-mitting water circulation and resulting result-ing in more uniform temperature throughout the engine during the warm-up period. The new system consists of a passage in the cylinder head and block providing direct access ac-cess to the water pump, and a choke-type thermostat to regulate coolant flow to the radiator. The generator output has been raised to 45 amperes, an increase of 1 hve amperes, providing greater electrical elec-trical capacity for the operation of car accessories. The new hand brake T control handle is more accessible, access-ible, and, as on former models, it operates independently of the foot brake as an added safety measure. In the convertible club coupe, the spare tire is mounted vertically as m other coupe and sedan models, rather than on the trunk floor I The new Plymouth interiors offer 1 he finest selection of upholstery and schemes in the company'i history.
