The sloping hood of the PILOT gives promise of its power. Looking forward from the wheel suggests sighting down the perfect taper of a gun barrel. The PILOT is properly-powered, scientifically correct for the size and weight of the car. It is thoroughly adequate for all needs, and gives you EXACTLY the performance you want WHEN you want it. Drowsily, you can creep along to the purring accompaniment of this gently pulsing machine, or when occasion demands, quickly accelerate to the exulting battle note of top speed. Both the ability and DEPENDABILITY of the PILOT'S power largely account for the confidence of PILOT owners.

The confidence in, and admiration for, the PILOT performance grows with the miles, as the engine preserves its original excellence through months and years of continuous service. Behind the PILOT car of today stretch twelve years of experience; twelve years devoted to building each PILOT car as though the company's entire reputation rested upon that one car. In this way, the PILOT makers have earned the enviable good will of PILOT owners. It is well known that the PILOT car makes friends of owners, and it is equally true that these friends make new owners for the PILOT.
