How do you describe a car so faring in concept, so revolutionary
in features and advances, so -euarding in beauty and performance?
How do you explain its newness when e erythmtr about it is ne* ?
On display today is just such a car—the Swept-Wing ’57 Dodge
that steps you into the wonderful world of Autodynamics.
What is this wonderful world of Autodyn.imics? It is a world where
everything is new from roaa tn roof to achieve absolute mastery
of motion.
Here’s what it does in the Swept-Wing Dodge:
• It unleashes a hurricane of power from a thundering new air-
craft-type Super Red Ram V-8 engine that’s a spitfire in action !
• It tames a tornado of torque with a new TorqueFlite Push-
button Drive for -the greatest get-a wav on the road!
