I v Pare Eight THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, October 6, 1955 Cooper Motor Co. Show "56 Dodge Here Tomorrow The new 1956 line of Dodge passenger cars will be introduced to Clinton residents at Cooper Motor Co. Friday, October 7. Viewers of the new cars are promised the first glimpse of an entirely new era in automotive design—both in exterior and in terior appearance and in me chanical advancements, accord ing to L W Cooper, dealer. Outstanding among many me chanical improvements is the revolutionary new “Magic Touch'’ push button drive selec tor which completely eliminates the necessity for any kind of a gear shift or control lever, and brings the automatic drivimg dreams of yesteryear to today’s reality. In the radically new body de sign for 1956. Dodge has carried the “forward look" into an even bolder, more dramatic form. Unique high-sweep rear fender fins lend an aircraft-like effect and mold the flavor of speed in to every line of the car. giving it at the same time a pronounced directional appearance. Significant of Dodge's tradit ional consideration of the carj buyer’s freedom in price selec tion is the fact that the new four-door Lancer hardtop is of fered in the low-priced Coronet, as well as in the Royal and Cus tom Royal series, Mr. Cooper pointed out. Four separate series comprise the 1956 line of Dodge cars: Coro net, offering four-door sedan, club coupe, four-door Lancer hardtop. Lancer hardtop and Lancer convertible; Royal V-8. offering four-door sedan, four- door Lancer hardtop and Lancer hardtop; Custom Royal V-8 with four-door sedan, four-door Lanc er hardtop. Lancer hardtop and Lancer convertible. Finally, a new station wagon line offers a wide choice of seven suburban two-door and Sierra four-door models. Important engine news of the year is the new Dodge Super Red Ram V-8 engine which is vastly increased in power and torque. Horsepower is up to 218, while even more significant is the new “break away” from standing start performance, resulting from the phenomenally improved tor- que. / Matching in its “forward look” concept the “magic touch” push button gear selector, is the new Dodge Highway Hi-Fi, an auto matic car record player, operat ing through the car radio. gyman gently pointed out that boundless opportunities to do good could be found right where he was. His caller then remark ed that he believed if he had a better or more prominent posi tion in life he woulud be able to make a greater contribution to the welfare of his fellowmen. The answer again was that if he would just look closely enough about him he would see many avenues of service. A dear old lady who must stay at home because of physical in firmities brings sunshine con tinually to those who visit her. She has a word of good cheer for everybody and she brightens the hearts of those who see her. Oth ers in as limited a sphere of ac tivity as hers might give up in utter discouragement but not this good woman, who has resolved in the words of the shepherd to “give more heed to the things that lie at thy feet”. Many of us have our spirits lifted to the heights of inspira tion by the ministrations of those who do not look for greener pas tures but are content to do what good they can where they are with what they have Court Disposes Of Many Coses (Continued from page one) months or pay $350, and placed on probation for three years.
