The top is the most conspicuous part of a car. If a top is
torn or worn shabby or aged it reflects the same atmos-
phere to the balance of your car.* Regardless of how good
that engine runs—one of the first things considered by a I
buyer is the appearance. .
Let us talk the matter over-let us show you how skilled I
artisans can improve the appearance and enhance the value
of your car far in excess of the small cost of the job. Our
top and trim department is now located in its new head-
quarters and is prepared to give you the utmost in satisfae-
tion—at least, let’s talk it over.
