All Motordom is "Rubbing Its Eyes" at This Amazing Announcement
The World's FIRST Popular Priced Ei^ht
Every motorist has longed for the flexibility, power
and luxury of a Six, but many have drawn back at it?
expensive up-keep, unwieldy length and excessive weight.
Now, in the KING EIGHT, the Six is exceeded in flexi?
bility and freedom from vibration, equalled in power, yet
there is the SAME economy of operation, easy turning
length, and light weight as in the moderate priced Four.
The supreme luxury of mechanical travel is perfectly
exemplified in the KING EIGHT, and the real meaning
of flexibility is at last revealed to you. Think of it from
two miles an hour to fifty without gear-changing, noise,
vibration, or any of the usual indications of engine effort.
To ride in this SUPER-CAR is to eliminate the mechanical
presence in motoring the "Magic rug" of the Arabian
tale is truly yours in a KING EIGHT.
The mechanical simplicity of this new KING will
quickly recommend it to all who have seen other eights.
Valves are located for easy accessibility and the entire
construction has that sturdiness so characteristic of the
KING. Cantilever springs assure maximum riding com?
fort, and a pure European stream line body makes the
King a joy to look at.
Don't ride in a KING EIGHT till you are ready to pur?
chase. It will spoil you for the car you have, or the other
cars you know.
