Main St. Phone 515 Dealer Announces 1952 Dodge Tests The 1952 Dodge Coronet sedan has received a “standout” rating far, jts ( brakes, riding comfort and driver vision in scientific tests conducted by Motor Vehicle Research, an inde pendent testing laboratory, of Boston, it is announced by Cooper Motor Co., of this city. Results of the tests, which involved both road and laboratory work, are published in the February issue of '< the magazine “Sciene apd ^Mechan ics.” “On at least three taints which are important in a family automobile, the Dodge is a standout,” says “Science and Mechanics.” “Whereas average braking efficien cy of 50 per cent is considered ac ceptable and safe, this Coronet model registered 94 per cent in braking to a stop from 50 mpm—and that at a pedal pressure of only 44» pounds! Normally you hAve to apply^s much as 80 pounds pressure in emergency stops; a woman’s pedal pressure would be somewhat less. At any rate, the Dodge braked to a stop smoothly from 50 mph in only 87-88 feet, which is well under what is judged to be a safe stopping distance . . .” “The second point of excellence was the smooth ride. Over the roughest, road surfaces, the Coronet was ex ceedingly comfortable, due of cou£se to the ride control—Onflow shocks— in which the bouncing action result mertcu , ing from hitting bumps is controlled Mr. and Mrs. Sloan Todd and | the metered flow of hydraulic Soy "I Sow It In Tht Chronicle" — Thank You! daughters spent the week-end at Wind'' Hill Beach with Mrs. Todd’s sister, Mrs. R.

The divided windshield has a glass area of 1,024 sq. in., the rear window has almost as large an area with very narrow metal sup ports, and the rear view mirror vis shaped like the rear view window. Forward, the driver sits higher than in many other modem cars and his eye can see the road over the left fender at a distance of 21 ft. 8 in. To the rear, his vision is considered bet ter than average, due in part to the shape of the relsC view mirror. An ad^ed feature, optional on the ’52 model for the first time, is tinted f lags for windshield and windows. he glass reduces sunlight glare and restricts passage of radiant heat through the windows, thus making the car's interiur cooler in summer." % CARAT LADY AMERICA Diamond Sat Reduced 20% t.’MO*’ J.
