The advantages of this all-steel construction—reserved until now to open cars —are particularly marked in a coupe built to weather the wear and tear of hard commercial usage. Immediately you will be impressed with the beauty and lightness of this coupe. Time will convince you of its unusual stamina. The doors snap neatly shut. Body squeaks are eliminated. Dodge Brother s enamel is baked on the surface of the steel—a permanent lustrous finish, impervious to wear.
