HpHE specifications of the
Liberty show that we have
built quality into the car.
Its smooth, lively, finished per
formance speaks equally well
for the goodness of Liberty
design.
The final test of Liberty good
ness is in its long-lived, con
tinuous service. Proof of that "
you can get from Liberty
users.
And we would rather have you
hear them than listen to us.
We believe their word about
the Liberty will have an im
portant bearing on your pur
chase of a car.
