TAST year Chrysler introduced its
I J new FirePower V-8 engine, and
America’s first passenger ear full-time
power steering. Both new ideas "took
hold” in a big way
Today, others are announcing “new
engines” and “power steering” . . . but
with some basic differences worth keep-
ing in mind if you’re buying a new car.
First: about “new engines.” The
fact is, a really new engine design hap-
pens only once in a great while. It did
happen in the FirePower V-8. Its 180
h.p. was only incidental to its basic
new design. Its key idea is a hemispheri-
cal combustion chamber, which makes
even non -premium gasoline develop
more usable power than other designs
can get from premium fuel.
Only Chrysler engineering has so
far mastered this design. Several cars
do have some power increase, in terms
of previous designs. The important fact
is that FirePower is not a “warmed-
over” engine, hut brand new in per-
formance, construction, and efficiency.
In power steering, too, there are
basic differences. Chrysler uses hy-
draulic power, always in effect, to do
two things. First, it does 4 5 the steer-
ing work as you turn the wheel. Second
we’ve cut the amount of wheel turn
needed by over 1/3.
Parking or cruising, you get more
and easier control than ever before. In
sand, snow, or ruts, the hydraulic
power is always there to keep the front
wheels fiom “steering back” at you.
You get the same amount and feel of
control all the time . . . full-time ease
and full-time safety.
Actually, the differences, both in
engine performance and in steering
safety and ease are impossible to put
in words . . . but just as impossible not
to feel the moment you get into a
Chrysler and drive it! Why not see
your Chrysler dealer and do that, soon?
