Let me tell you what 1 saved when I drove a new Plymouth...then bought one!
c,.
to"
to?
Just like a lot of other people, 1 was putting oil buying a
new car... even though we sure needed one. Then I found
out what my Plymouth dealer was offering in the way of
low prices and really big trades.
Mister, when I saw what I saved I knew there was no
nse putting off any longer! Cot more for my old car than
I believed possible. (Plymouth dealers need used cars and
can sell all they get! I Got a terrifically low price on ,the
new Plymouth... and choice of models besides... hard-
tops, sedans, convertibles, wagons.
And I saved a cool $140 on the ride alone! Plymouth’s
top-luxury ride, Torsion-Aire Ride, is standard at no extra
cost, while you have to pay up to |140 lot the top ridfe of
competing “low-price 3” cars. .
What’s more, I got the car that ptoved it can stive me
, gasoline, by winning the 1938 Mobilgas Economy Run. A
car with Silver Dart Styling that is so far ahead right now
it will still be worth morp when I trade. With the kind of
easy handling that makes every minute of driving a down*
• right thrill! The stamina to stand up without nagging
adjustments and big repairs ... a egr as much better built
as it is better looking!
Any wonder I quit waiting? Take my tip...get your
Plymouth bargain right now.
Today’s best buy...tomorrow’s best trade..
