Its economy and comfort make
Glt-iXT SIX the most useful car
you can have right note—its
record for durability aiul high
used car value make it <i real
in vestment.
IV TORE and more people are turning to the
cars of light weight—cars like the Grant
Six. They have discovered that unnecessary
weight is nothing but waste of fuel, oil and tires.
I lie Grant Six with it:- 114-inch wheelbase is
as large and as roomy a six as you would ask for.
By skilled body design it actually seems much
longer than it really is.
Yet the Grant Six is not the lightest car of
its size—Grant engineers have not sacrificed
sturdiness or durability.
Its thousands of owners average 20 miles- to-
a gallon of gasoline, 900 miles to a gallon of.' oil,,
7000 miles or more from standard 32 x4 tires.
In comfort no six excells the Grant Six. Its
46-inch cantilever rear springs and the double-
decked springs in the seat cushions make “riding
comfort” words of real meaning as applied to
,thi# c.ar.
