And still that doesn’t probe the depths of a ROADMASTER owner’s secret satisfaction. For while he knows he has a fine car, by its look, its feel, its ap pointments— While he has performance at his command that needs play second fiddle to no other on the road— While he enjoys a very special measure of creature comfort in the quite matchless gentleness of ROADMASTER’S ever-level ride— He knows too that he has made an exceptionally wise investments He has spent his money for the things that make a fine car fine — and nothing simply for show.
