Chalmers
Six-40'
iu: r i r
The Distinguishing Marks of
iJiGtmgii
v No olhr car is so easily distingoisherJ as a Chalmers Sii-40
because no other car is so distinguished, "' " '-
Only one other American car has fenders like it -and its price
is $5000. There is no other radiator that has just the Chalmers
fine lines so high and narrow and distinctive.
CHALMERS bodies are neither
prayed, dipped nor baked. Twenty
OM operations are required to bring them
up to Chalmers "Quality First" standards.
No Car Ha Better Finish
Chalmers finish . is superfine , "coach"
work and no car can have better. "
The body is carefully prepared for the'
finish by the process known as sand-blast'
ing. The colors are then laid on by men
who have mastered the artistic possibilities
of paint.
Comfortable as Any Priced Car
No car at any price can be more comfort
able than the Chalmers Six-40.
The rear springs are of special vanadium
steel construction and are 57 inches long
the longest springs on any car in the world
at the price.
But springs alone will not give comfort
in a motor car; neither will upholstery.
It takes just as much thought and manu
facturing skill to build comfort into a car
as it does to make it mechanically perfect.
The Chalmers "Six-40" seven-passenger
model is a big. luxurious car, roomy
enough for seven grown-iips to lean back
and ride at ease. It is as comfortable as
your favorite arm chair.
The deep seats which are upholstered
in leather and the deep side-walls furnish
. a support for the body that eliminates all
train and fatigue from tnotoring.. Un
usually wide doors enable people to step
into this car easily without having to turn
' sideways. . , ,
; The Pride of Distinction
There is a certain pride of distinctiveness
in the ownership of your Chalmers
Six-40. ' '
. You have the consciousness of being well
groomed vour car's apparel is of the best
weave and fabric. The prestige of rank and
accepted style surrounds it '
20 Mora Power
The powerful valve-in-head motor is the
same type with which DePalmaa and
Resta's $20,000 racers were equipped when
they won the Indianapolis and Chicago
races at the undreamed of averages of 90,
98 and 1 02 miles an hour.
The performance of this motor is simply
marvelous. It is the "20 per cent more
power motor" the motor all Europe was
.using when the war stopped operations
there.
It has the pull of a locomotive-- giant's
strength in a man's body.
It is "trigger-quick" and gets away lie
a racer. N
It is always eagerly pulling, like a high
strung setter on the leash. '
