The car put on display hy C. M. McDonald, local Dodge Brothers dealer, is a four-door sedan, an impressh·e looking Ychicle which is said to possess a truly remarkable motor. \Vithin a few ·week s t\\"o additional body types, a four-passenger coupe and a new type of cabriolet roadster \\·ill be added to the new line of "sixes." Elaborate preparation s for the adveilt of the six cylinder cars have been made by Dodge Brothers. Last fall construction work was begun on one of the largest factory buildings in the ,,·orld and throughout the \Vinter and s pring was rushed to completion. Actual production of the six cylinder. lin e was started early in May~ The initial production rate was about 50 cars a day.

One of the most impressive features of the motor is the extremeh· heavv crankshaft and unusually large bear-ing area. The crankshaft is machined all over and weighs 69 pounds.

This fact, combined with exceeding rigidity, results in a smoothness of operation that is said to be excelled by no other car, regardle ss of price. The motor is of the L-head type, chosen by Dodge Brothers engineers because of the simplicity of the valv e I mechanism . and relatively infrequent need of adjustment.
