You'll sense this together with its unequaled response Ihe very first yards you drive. runs smoother, more quietly, and with less wear than any other engine ever built into an American automobile. and it makes driving (both cruising and the short runs) more fun than you have ever known it to be'. But that's not nil.

Along with this engine there are scores of other reasons, too, for driving a New Yorker before resolving on any new car. Like Full-time Power Steering that makes times easier and your control fuv limes greater than in ordinary cars. Like Power Brakes that cut needed pedal pressure by aa much as two-thirds. Like Oriflow shock absorbers that maka even bad roads feel "newly paved" restful chair-high big, wide- opening doors big windows that let you see more.
