Today’s improved Plymouth has a
much heavier crankshaft; much larger

full-pressure lubricating system of new
design — and other Chrysler advance-
ments that have a brilliant new effect
on Plymouth performance.
In addition, rubber-insulated engine

aluminum alloy pistons, body impulse

Equally obvious is the greater safety
