Engineered togetfn frith true Chrysler science and true Chrysler results. Keenly conscious of radio as the coming new vogue in motoring, Chrysler engineers have created, after months of research, experiment and preparation, the new Radio-Equipped Chryslers— in which radio is as much an integral part of the car as the engine or the body 01 the chassis. The goal to which Chrysler worked was the very best that radio science and automobile engineering together could devise. That aim has been achieved by the selection of "Transitone", a dependable, distance-getting, mellow-toned receiving set with unique patented advantages that make it ideal for use in a moving motor car. All wiring is concealed, built insidq the car's body at the factory. Batteries are out of sight and out of the way. Switch and single-dial tuning control are designed as a part of the car's instrument board, always instantly accessible to the driver. Imagine yourself gliding over the miles, enjoying the thrill of Chrysler performance—sitting back in luxury, listening to good music, or good voices, or hecrir a a digest of the day's news—entertainment and information coming to you out of the air. Think what this means when you are traveling by yourself. You may be alone, but never lonely —not with orchestras playing for you, not with soft voices crooning to you. No trip is too long "-when you ore entertained in this way. You are invited to attend the special display and demonstration of these cars. We want you to see how naturally radio has been made a part of the car itself, and to note the selectivity, clearness and tone richness of "Transitone's" reception.
