194 Q PLYMOUTH
THE LOW PRICED BEAUTY WITH THE Mjj(y||Y |||Q£
Plymouth for 1940 gives you not only new smartness of design, but a
new dignity and character in a low-prise car.
People involuntarily turn to watch the 1940 Plymouth pass in the
street —gather around it at the curb—and you can see in their eyes that
this is a kind of beauty they respect. It is a beauty with a different
quality. It has flair, but not flashiness—it is grace, good taste, charm,
all rolled into one.
Notice the low, compact, swift flowing beauty of Plymouth’s exterior.
See how the massive, sweeping fenders blend into the body to give it new,
streamlined unity . . . how sleek, modern rear end design completely
conceals the huge trunk—makes the back of the car as beautiful
as the front.
Plymouth’s 84 horsepower, L-head engine is an important factor in
the Luxury Ride. Owners will tell you that Plymouth has the greatest
engine of any low-priced car. They’ll tell you, too, that no other low
priced car matches Plymouth in engine smoothness. That’s because
Plymouth is the only low-priced car with patented Floating Power en
gine mountings. Floating Power frees you from the tiring effects of the
vibration that occurrs in every automobile engine. Because the Ply
mouth engine is suspended in balence, the snocks of power impulses
give it only a gentle rocking motion. This gentle motion is absorbed by
the live rubber of the mountings so that it cannot reach the frame and
body of the car. Plymouth’s Floating Power adds greatly to the restful
ness of the Luxury Ride!
Now, in a Low-Priced Car, Perfected All Weather
Heating and Ventilation
With Plymouth’s All-Weather Airtontro! system, fresh air—unheated,
or heated to any degree desired—is circulated throughout the carv
whether the car is standing still or in motion. And with the cowl venti
lator open, adequate heat and air circulation is possible without use of
the heater fans when the car is running at or over 45 miles an hour.

CARD OF THANKS
Would that we could see in
dividually each one who made it
possible for our wife and mother
to have hospital treatment re
cently, but that is impossible, we
take this means of trying to ex
press to all, our profound ap
preciation.
You ministered to us in our
extremity and only our Good
Father and those who have suf
fered such experiences can know
the depth of our gratitude—not
only to those who responded fi
nancially, hut also to those who
ministered to and cheered us in
the home, where her restoration
has dispelled the dark cloud that
o’er shadowed us.
We sincerely thank you.
