The story of the rhaiuUv liht woiphl six is an interesting one ill tlx; present lime, rikI many of the fii '.;r ma nil faturi ng concern in thf conn i ry Jire putting forth their )r--, cfTorts in building a car of this type. j The fxpreiou 'Might ?i .

The Chandler was able to print, publish and sustain a record of sixteen mile to the gallon of C'asoline, 7U0 miles to the gallon of oil and 7000 miles to a set of tires. Sirica then there has been a flood of light Sixes. The Chandler Six differs from these in the fact that while light weight is a fundamental Chandler feature and a j lifisie principle nf Chandler construe- j tion, it if not the whole I handler idea i nor is it the whole of ("handler de-bign. de-bign. The Chandler idea is to build the finest, six-evlinder ear in the- world, re gardless of prion consideration and 1 build it light in weicht not too light for duraniTity and riding comfort 'but light enough so that it can honestly be said and clearly proven that all ex -e?s weight lias been eliminated vet j not a singlo element of strength discarded, dis-carded, j The founders of the Chandler com- i pa ny were equipped by knowledge, j training and experience to carry out j this ideal as no similar group of men) had ever been equipped. They had been building fix-cylinder ears of the finest grade "for six years prior to engaging en-gaging in the task of building the ("'handler Six. Thus, just as a group of skilled artists ar-tists trained to render the finest works of tbp masters of music would find it temperamentally impossible to produce anything but essentially fine music, so this group of Chandler tnen trained to build fine ears could by no stretch of imagination build anything else. The Chandler Six nf today is a miK-h finer ear in every way than the Chandler Chan-dler Six of three seasons past. The Chandler organization is not the type that ''lets well enough alone." The special notice, which has appeared on the last page of its every catalogue jives due notice of that fact. The new Chandler Six represents three seasons of specialization on the: one model. The new Chandler Six represents continuous evolution. It is the same Chandler Six, and yet it is not the same. The chemist in his laboratory, by ceaseless search and a seemingly endless chain of experiments, wrings from nature her innermost secrets. Tn the laboratory of Chandler engineers en-gineers a similar quest for greater and finer results is steadily going on. Tbeso men are never satisfied. They are tire- loss in the pursuit of refinement. They arc exacting in their demands patient, and persistent in their work. To them each ooniparirou, each test, is a fresh ehalleupn to their skill, inventiveness invent-iveness aud genius. Thus the proeess of refinement even on this ear wbieh is seemingly inea-palde inea-palde of further refinement continues. |
