'DOUBLE SIX TIE TITLE OFJW KISSEL Not 'Twin Six' or Twelve but 'Double Six,' Is Official Offi-cial Name of Model. "Double Six" is the official title of the new twelve-cylinder car just announced by the Kissel Motor Car company as "the nearest approach to the ultimate In motor car performance." The new model, which was exhaustively exhaustive-ly tested in various parts of the country coun-try for nearly a year before the final O. K., is now ready for delivery to dealers deal-ers in limited quantities, the factory producing pro-ducing at this time five a day, as compared com-pared with thirty-five to forty of the Hundred Point Six model. Now it is likely that this ratio of production as between be-tween the two cars can be greatly changed, owing to the naturally wider demand for the smaller and less expensive car. The engine of the Double Six is of the V type, with four blocks of three cylinders cylin-ders each set opposite at an angle of 60 degrees. It has a bore of two and seven-eighths seven-eighths inches and a stroke of five inches, with valve. In head and eighty-two-liorsepower. All motor units are inclosed. in-closed. C. N. Carruthers, manager of the Inter-Mountain Inter-Mountain Motor Car company, local Kissel Kar representative, in speaking of the new car said: The difference between pull and glide illustrates the difference between be-tween this new KIsselKar Double Six and any other type of motor car. Exhaustive experiments covering more than a year's time have proved it a superior car for those looking for that "little more" than other automobiles au-tomobiles have given. A dozen Double Dou-ble Sixes were sent to various parts of the country for many months of thorough and unsparing tryouts. The hardest hills, the roughest roads, the effect of varied, climatic conditions in fact, every method and degree of test that could be conceived was applied. ap-plied. The results checked and re-checked re-checked surpassed the highest expectations ex-pectations of flexibility, speed and general merit. Here, Indeed, Is power "in harness" har-ness" always under perfect control no Jerks, no sense of propulsion; merely a feeling that can only be i compared to flying. Its instantane-i instantane-i ous pick-up is a revelation to those who have driven only other types. Its perfect performance in traffic creeping its way in and out with no more effort or labor than in speeding speed-ing through the open country leads from wonder to enthusiasm. Not only does its absence of vibration vibra-tion provide unequaled ease and comfort com-fort in riding and driving, but adds years to the life of the car, for vibration vibra-tion is the automobile's arch enemy the foe that gradually undermines its strength and vitality. It is not an expensive car to operate. op-erate. It is economical, because the lower grades of gasoline may be safely safe-ly and satisfactorily userl for fuel; , because, due to Its lack of vibration, tire mileage is high and repair bills t low.
