Ride in an Essex
Sure way to know that this light weight
car performs like and has the endurance
of larger costly cars. Everyone says so.
Then Talk to an Owner
rU
This is to urge a severe test of Essex per
formance. If you haven't had a ride that reveals
its power, speed, acceleration, and comfort, come
let us take you for such a demonstration.
It Has Quality
At Low Price
Regard the Essex in the light of its perform
ance. It isn't fair to think of it merely as a light
weight car, when you consider the quality of its
materials or what it does.
Every owner compares his Essex to the per
formance of large costly cars.
Haven't you noticed how everyone speaks of
Essex performance?
And now they include praise of Essex reliability.
They tell you how their car calls for no tinkering.
Anyone who can handle a wrench can keep the
Essex in sweet running condition.
Its reliability comes from the sturdiness of its
construction. Particular motorists abhor squeaks
and rattles. An unusually strong and stiff frame
minimizes such possibilities in the Essex.
Note How the Essex
Was Developed
Its motor is not like the motor used in any other
car. The Essex is not made up of stock parts
available to any assembler. Every item was de
signed and is built exclusively for Essex in the
plant and by the same type of workmen who pro
duce the largest selling fine cars in the world.
The' Essex was not developed by a substitution
of wew units for an old model as a house is en
larged and remodeled. Every detail was designed
with relation to its use in the Essex in connection
with the type and character of every other detail
in the car. Consequently it is properly balanced.
Low Operating Cost
Fine Car Luxury
Americans have willingly paid the cost for per
formance and riding luxury for fineness and dis
tinction, as found only in larger cars. They ac
cepted the high cost for operation and mainte
nance. Cars which cost little to operate did not
meet their requirements in performance and en
durance. They lacked the stamp of refinement
and quality they demanded. So they had but two
choices the large costly American car or the
small and very high priced imported automobile.
How well the Essex meets that need is seen by
the type of Essex users. Thousands never before
operated so small a car, and abroad where the Es
sex has also made such headway, owners accept it
because it matches in quality and economy of op
eration the European cars they had previously
used. i
The Essex is appreciated greater in those coun
tries where gasoline, oil and tires cost the most.
Make Reliability
Your Standard
Essex appeal to pricje is evident at a glance. Its
performance is demonstrated in a short ride. En
durance and reliability can be appreciated in long
service.
For that ask an Essex Owner.
Remember that the way a car will serve you is
not indicated altogether by its weight, size or
price.
Essex quality at its price is possible only be
cause of its size. You do not pay for useless
weight And you sacrifice nothing in comfort
though you gain much in the lower cost to buy
and operate an Essex.
