It is always a pleasure to drive a new motor car — but how much greater the thrill when your new car is the Style Leader! ... You are certain to appreciate this when you take your first ride in an Oldsmobile. Everywhere—on the street, on the highway, at the curb —admiring glances tell you —"there goes the year's smartest car." ... And this extremely pleasing and different appearance finds its counterpart in Oldsmobile performance. Both the new Six and the new Straight Eight are exceptionally eager in their response to the throttle-with the Six capable of 75 to 80 miles an hour, and the Eight, 80 to 85… actual stop-watch speeds. Steering is so easy that driving is scarcely any effort at all. Oldsmobile comfort has never been approached in a car of such modest cost. And Oldsmobile dependability is even more outstanding today than it has been in the past... So, this year, why be content with merely a new automobile? Get the Style Leader ... get an OLDSMOBILE
GREATER VALUE THROUGHOUT - In addition to their unusually smart appearance, the new Oldsmobiles offer great advancements in every other element that contributes to value. Both the Six and the Straight Eight are bigger, roomier, and more powerful cars. The Six four-door Sedan weighs 3325 pounds; the Eight four-door Sedan, 3482 pounds-curb weight. The engines develop 80 h.p. and 90 h.p. respectively. Scientific new 3-point engine-mountings of live rubber absorb all vibration from the power plants. Oldsmobile's improved automatic choke and advancements in carburetion facilitate starting, quicken acceleration, and effect economies in operation. Syncro-Mesh and Silent Second gear make shifting easy and pleasant. Braking is now practically effortless. A tremendously strong new double-drop X-type frame allows a lower center of gravity and gives remarkable driving stability. Completely new Fisher bodies ... built throughout to a standard of excellence not previously expected in motor cars priced so low... afford every modern comfort and convenience... most important of which is the sensational new improvement, Fisher No Draft Ventilation, Individually Controlled.Language
