BUSINESS SEDAN
Recent improvements in the appearance
and equipment of this Sedan adapt it,
more perfectly than ever, to family as
well as business use.
The body is swung lower to the road. A
transmission lock, knob-grip steering
wheel, a combination stop signal and tail
lamp, and other details have been added.
Important chassis improvements have
been made.
Most important of all, perhaps, new
spring equipment throughout has resulted
in a degree of riding comfort which can
only be characterized as revolutionary.
