his shetch illustrates the marked difference ix height between the average peter car and the Ruxton. 6) TTERLY DIFFERENT THE RUXTON SALOON a aay >—AND TEN INCHES LOWER THAN ANY OTHER MOTOR CAR ON THE ROAD In all the vocabulary of motordom, there are no new nouns or verbs or adjectives to describe this new car, exactly made to the exacting specifications of twelve exacting men. So the old words, which find a new meaning and a truer definition in the Ruxton, must suffice though they bave been sadly vitiated by use and abuse and byperbole. All cars, we are told, are low, but the eye-arresting lowness of the Ruxton is not an optical illusion but a genuine lowness ingeniously attained by a ten-inch reduction in car and body height alike, yet without a single compromise with standard road clearance or headroom. Smooth road performance is a common promise, but the unburdened roll of the Ruxton can be had only from power that pulls evenly from the front, never from a jerky force that pushes from the rear. Restful riding comfort, too, bas a familiar sound, but how can it ever be fully experienced save in a car of the Ruxton's unique design?...a car with but the minimum of unsprung weight to be carried, a car whose rear springs have been spared the dissipating task of taking the drive and so are free to perform their one vital function... the perfect cradling of the body. We read, as well, bow this body and that bas been divorced from exasperating protests of strain, but only in the Ruxton have the sources of these common noises... the vibrating driveshaft and the chattering differential ... been eliminated. And while safety at bigh speeds is a phrase frequently encountered, it is always relative in meaning except when applied to the Ruxton with its center of gravity ten inches lower than that of any other American automobile, A very interesting car, the Ruxton, and a most unusual one.
