It's not a gesture, not a fad, it's a complete surrender. For the handwriting is on the wall, or rather it is on the h1lls and on the high· ways, and engineers everywhere perceive it-the Straight Eight is the most perfect motor the automobile industry has produced to date. q So now a total of 27* of the world's famous facto~ies here and abroad are building Straight Eights. And in this lise are names to conjure with, eminent names like Lancia, Sunbeam, Packard, Isotta .. Fraschini, Locomobile, Panhard-Levassor, Jordan, tJupmobile, Bugatti and so on. Europe pioneered the Straight Eight, and it's the type her factories build and her engineers endorse. q Flexible, able, efficient, the Straight Eight is as simple as the Straight" Six. Due to the steady flow of its kinetic energy, the Eight's operation is 25% smoother than the Six in the, exercise and fJ the first Light Straight application of its power.
