bas said to the Twin-Ignition Motor
F ROM the very day of the introduc
tion of the new Nash “400”, keen
public interest has surrounded the new
Twin-Ignition motor—
People everywhere are telling other
people that they've never driven a car
with so much sparkle and enthusiasm
in its action— • ,
—Or one that is as smooth and quiet
at every speed, clear up to the top-—
—Or one that needs so little gasoline.
Twin ignition, with high compression
in the valve*in-head motor means
more power, more snap, more speed,
using ordinary gasoline, and less of it.
Before you buy your new car, come in.
We'll give you the key to a Twin-
Ignition-Motored "400". You take it
out, and take a ride. That's all we ask!
♦ /» the first three months following
the "400” introduction "400” sales
were nearly 75,OOO cars, 14,000more
than the total of the best previous
July, the best previous August and
the best previous September in all
Nash history.
