Essex Coach
The Greatest Car Value in the f*Vorld Selling
Below One Thousand Dollars
21 REASONS WHY
■i The lowest priced six cylinder in the
world.
9 A fully counter balanced crank shaft
“• That is a guarantee for smooth running
engine an deliminates vibration.
9 The Essex frame is far heavier and
stiffer than that of anv other car be
low $1000.
4 The Chassis lubrication is unexcelled
by any other car selling below $1000.
CZ Essex spring shackles are adjustable
to take up wear. The Essex is the only
small car that has this desirable feature.
£*. The Essex crank case has a carefully
W worked out system of ventilation that
drives off vapors from gasoline thus prevent
ing dilution.
*7 The Careburetor is so designed that it
• is almost free from dust, taking in its
air from a box covering- the entire exhaust
manifold. Most all small cars take air direct
ly into the carburetor.
42 The Special vacuum tank is so design
ed with petcocks and traps that the
bottom can be drained at ease.
Q The Essex has automatic ignition ad
**• vance, whose curve has been worked
out exactly for the motor.
| A Radiator Shutters are provided on the
"Essex. No other car near the price has
this feature.
"t "I The Silent timing chain with adjust
ment for driving the came shaft, gen
erator, oil pump, distributor. These features
are only found in the expensive cars
J O The Essex motor has roller tapitc,
■" which are used on high priced cars, but
no other car near the price of the Essex uses
them. They are better than the Mushroom
type that are used on cars selling near the
price of the Essex.
J 9 The Essex has aluminum alloy pistons.
Though expensive, they are preferable
to iron pistons, for the reason of lightness and
heat conductivety. Their use permits higher
compression. They are used by most higher
priced cars, such as Packard, Lincoln etc.
■f A The Essex has a four pinion type Dif
* ferential. This is essential to quiet rear
axle. Probably no other car selling for less
than $1200 has two pinion differentials.
■f The Essex springs are 2 inches wide, v
' while other cars below $1000 has 1 3-4
springs. The wide springs prevent breaks and
assures easy riding.
16 ^le Essex brakes are 14 3-8 inches. No
* other small car has drums as large.
This is one of the reason for their great effi
ciency and ease of application and protection
1 7 The Essex steering gear is of full worm
* and wheel type, and provided with ball
and trust bearings. Most small cars have plain
thrust washers which are cheap.
| O The Essex propeller shaft has two
* metal joints, and two inches diameter.
Most small cars use 1 1-2 in. propeller shaft.
19 Essex has approved transmission lock.
* You can leave your car without fear of
its being stolen.
2Q The Essex front seats have more leg
* room than any other small car, and are
adjustable.
21 ^he Essex Steering Wheel is genuine
• wTalnut. Many other small cars use rub
ber or composition. They are cheaper than
walnut. T he position of the wheel can be eas
ily adjusted up or down four inches.
22 The Essex has unquestionably the
• strongest axles, wheels, spindles and
steering parts of any small car built
23 The Essex. ^as an a11 steel body, and
• made as rigid as a steel train.
No ether car in the world, selling near the
price of the Essex, has all the above features
built into the car. J
