So marked is the difference between Chrysler performance and all other performance, that in appraising other cars the motor-minded almost invariably use Chrysler as the standard of comparison. Chrysler began, five years ago, with smoothness, speed and acceleration which at one single stroke obsoleted all previous conceptions of what motor car performance ought to be. All phases of Chrysler designing and engineering are carried out with absolute precision and with the inclusion of new ideas, new refinements and new simplicities, growing out of endless research and a fixed habit of advanced thinking.
