A truly exquisite gift I take this one out on the road and right away start discovering things.

Ihis, you begin to feel, is perfection complete. Surely nothing more can he added to make an automobile more to be desired. i But just look, sir, at what's going on all around you.

The youngsters that point you out from passing cars. The heads that turn to follow your course. The bundle-laden shoppers that check stride for a quick admiring look. All the eyes that follow the fellow in the car that's setting the style trend. irue you've a lively number here.

But you also have the car with the highest "eye cue" on the American highways--the one that's going to ttay out front in the fashion parade.
