The Oil Performance Trials, held under the supervision of the National Association for Stock Car Racing, compared the basic performance characteristics of American- made 1969 models which are in the popular price ranges. The fuel economy tests measured a car's fuel consumption at an average speed of 40 miles per hour over a distance of 18.567 miles. The acceleration tests measured the time it took a car to accelerate from 25 to 70 miles per hour.

The braking tests demonstrated the car's high-speed stop- pingcapability immediately after severe brake usage. The 60 stock cars competing in the tests were taken directly from dealers' showrooms throughout the country to provide a realistic comparison ot various makes and models.

And, of course, many of the features that most people want: deluxe vinyl interior, white sidewalls, deluxe wheel covers, bumper guards, and a kicky little time-delay ignition switch light, ail at a special package price (again, we really mean special).

Naturally, you can personalize a Snapper even more, with everything from a Super Commando 440 V-8 to a.r conditioning or 8-track stereo; just ask your dealer.
