consider not only the price, but tvbat that price buys you. You must take into \ | 11' tl I; 1
consideration the power, the strength, the beauty, the construction, the size, the I I ■•! - ‘X HJ -", '"f
appearance and the equipment of the car. You must judge a cr.r by the material h ' : I |l JF ,7 i HiH' hl , • ■ : ;7H. .. H 1117 J.
