Chalmers "Six?" The list of features includes every appointment
for comfort, convenience and luxury found on the mo3t expensive
cars and many found nowhere else but on this car.
Chalmers owners themselves have named this a maximum car. It
meets your utmost requirements not only In mechanical excellence,
but In those qualities that make for motoring luxury, ease and sat
isfaction. '

Chalmers organization, manufacturing methods, and. the unexcelled
facilities of the Chalmers shops make it possible to produce this car
