Okay, iCs settled. You've thought about it and
talked about it and now you've decided: A new
car--and soon. Now for the jackpot question.
Which '59 car will it be?
Unless you happen to be a Mr, Gotrocks, you'll
probably think pretty carefully before you finally
make the move. You'll do more shopping and
compare more closely. And you'll ask yourself
some basic questions. How much will a neu, car
cost me to buy? ltow much will it cost me to drive?
What do I get for my money?
There is no mystery about new car prices
Until this year, it was hard to compare different
makes of cars to find which offered the most
value for the money. It was like comparing apples
and bananas. Bht not any more. Not since all new
cars are required to carry price labels. Now, for
the first time, you can compare various makes
and models and see exactly what you're getting
for your money. It's like exposing the hole cards
in a game of stud poker: You know exactly
where you stand.
.Why should you buy a Dodge?
No one has to tell you that there are a number of
cars on the market that sell for less than a Dodge.
No cigar on that count. You know it and we know
it. But there are things you get in a Dodge that
you simply can't get in these other smaller cars.
And this is important. Dodge gives you all of
these things--the bigness and roominess, the
comfort and ride, the luxury and prestige--for
less than other cars in it~ field.
• BETTER BY
I~" ~
' lT"l -I BRAND NEW
It's not just a few dollars less, either; m many
cases it's literally hundreds of dollars less. Some
Dodge models are even priced lower than the so-
called "low-priced cars." (We'll be happy to show
you the actual suggested retail prices.)
All cars cost money to run-but how much?
It would be nice if you just bought a new car and
that was that. It didn't burn gas. Didu't use oil.
Never needed service. But that's wishful thinking.
Cars do use gas and oil. They do need service
occasionally. But that doesn't mean that all cars'
cost the same to drive and maintain. Not by a
jugful. There's a big difference.
Dodge is designed to run for less
Dodge has always had a reputation for economi-
cal operation. People who have owned them have
found it costs less to ru~ a Dodge, and that a
Dodge needs service less often.
Take gasoline economy. The new Dodge 326 cu.
in. Red Ram V-8 engine, because of its design and
efficiency, will take you miles farther on a gallon
of gas than any other V-8 in the Dodge field. You
save money every mile you drive.
But that's onty part of the story. The way Dodge
is engineered and built saves you money on such
things as engine wear, brake relining, tune-ups,
spark plug replacement. When you add them all
up, they represent quite a saving. Another reason
why it pays to own a Dodge.
What do you get for what you pay?
According to Manufacturer's Suggested Retail
Prices, Dodge generally costs lea~, model for
model, than other cars in its field. Fine and
dandy. But while price is important, it isn't the
only consideration. The real standard of value--
whether you're buying a new car or a can of
YOUR NEARBY
beans--is what you get for what you pay. It's the
"extras" you get at no extra cost that really
determine which car is the best buy.
Dodge gives you more for less
Tall: is cheap. Anyone can make claims. So let's
be specific about tbe extras you get in Dodge at
no extra cost. Torsion-Aire Ride--conceded the
finest suspension in the industry- standard equip-
ment on all Dodge models. Total-Contact Brakes,
Safety-Rim Wheels, Electric Windshield Wipers,
lndepemtent Parking Brake--all standard on
Dodge. Of course, you can also choose from such
Dodge options as Push-Button Driving, Full-
Time Powt~" Steering and Swing-Out Swivel Seats.
There's a big difference in comfort, too
Goodness knows, we certainly don't want to
knock competition. But we feet obligated to point
out the comfort and convenience of the '59
Dodge. If you've tried getting into some of the
other '59 cars you know just what we mean.
To say it is difficult would honestly be an under-
statement. That's why we hope you'll come in aud
compare the difference in l)odge, ttow much
easier it is to get in and out of a Dodge. How much
more comfortable it is to sit in a Dodge. ttow
much more room you have r,o stretch out. Really,
it pays to own a Dodge.
it doesn't cost a penny to get the facts
We don't expect you to rush in and plunk down
your money for a new Dodge just on the basis of
what you've read. But if what you've read seems
to make sense, we do hope you'll stop in to .see,
to drive and to price a Dodge. We thick it's a
whale of a buy, but then maybe we're prejudioed.
Why not drop in and judge for your~tf. We'll
be more than happy to give 'you all the facts.
No obligation, of course.
