IT’S SAFER! On rough roads,
soft shoulders, loose gravel, or
in the event of a blow-out,
Chrysler’s full-time power steer

of your car at all times. Hy
draulic power helps you turn
. . . lets you hold a true, steady
course with a constant, pre
dictable “feel” to the steering
wheel. And with far less fatigue,
no matter how long the trip!

IT’S EASIER! 85% of the steer
ing effort is taken off your hands
substantially more than with
any other type of power steer
ing. Even when the car is stand

the wheel with one finger. A
real boon in traffic ... on hard
