CHRYSLER’S giant expansion
program brings you the greatest
new car buying opportunity of the year!
Because of the unprecedented demand
for its 1955 models, currently up to a
new record high, Chrysler has had to
undertake a Giant Plant Expansion
Program. When in full production the
new plant will provide a 40 per cent
increase in Chrysler Windsor V-8 and
New Yorker output.
Knowing that building operations
would take several months, we have
tried to provide enough 1955 Chrysler
Windsor V-8's and New Yorkers to
meet the demands of our customers
through the season. This meant filling
our entire year’s supply right now in
mid-season.
You Get Year’s Widest
Selection of Models and
Color Combinations
Since we tried to anticipate your needs,
.we can show you a wide selection of
color combinations and body styles,
but our supply will never again be as
great as it is right now! Indications
are that there just will not be enough
of all models and body styles to go
around.
Your present car will never
be worth more in trade
Remember that fact! Right now your
present car is worth more in trade
than it ever will be again.
And we can allow you more for it
than anybody else in town. That’s
not just talk. There’s a good reason
for it.
We Need Used Cars
When these new cars are gone, we’ll
be hungrier than ever for used cars.
That’s right—as these wonderful new
Chrysler buys move out we will be
needing more and more late model
used cars. That’s a double reason for
you to trade for a brand new Chrysler
beauty right now. You have the year’s
finest selection of the popular 1955
Chryslers . . . and, we’re in a real
trading mood to get our used car
stocks in shape.
Take the lOO-Million-Dollar
Ride Today!
If you’ve been holding off on buying
your new 1955 Chrysler Windsor V-8
or New Yorker, if you’ve delayed for
any reason, better act now.
Because when our present stock of new
cars is gone, we can’t get any more!
So, come in today. Experience the
thrill of the 100-Million-Dollar Ride
... the ride all America is talking
about. It will be the smartest new
car buy of your life!
USED CAR BUYERS!
Our “Pennant Winner*”— which
include many late mod-1 Chryslers
—are the greatest buys in town!
