They find it easy to drive, easy to park, economical to run, and comparable in the beauty and richness of its appointments with cars much higher in price. The upholstery is done in genuine mohair velvet of a singularly rich and beautiful pattern. The seats are roomy and luxurious. The hardware and minor fittings reflect thoughtfulness and rare good taste. Steel disc wheels (with cord tires) screen the under part of the car and harmonize in a most effective way with the new grace and smartness which Dodge Brothers have recently brought to *he lines of the body.
