THINK WHAT THIS PROOF OF Utunau. ccutcL -yurt SMASH ike, STANDARD CHRYSLER '•Sv w -' •MMK. > CAPTAIN C. H. MILLER HELL DRIVER No. I, says... "The Chryslcr-built end Ncw-Zei-l»nd assembled ALL STEEL Bodies mounted on a Chrysler-Flymouth standard passenger car chassis which I have crashed through flaming walls, over ramps and hurdles, and deliberately rolled over, during my New Zealand exhibitions, appear to suffer less damage than any other bodies I have tested. In nearly4oo roll-over demonstrations I have yet to find bodies stronger, safer and more reliable than these.” PLYMOUTH DE SOTO JOE CAMPBELL HELL DRIVER No. 2, says... “ |, too. foond the New Zealand assembled bodies as safe as I expected, but I never ceased to be amazed at the tremendous strength of the chassis, i slmply could not damage the engine, frame, springs or steering. I am perfectly satisfied to roll over any number of them. The New Zealand assembled Chrysler, Plymouth and De Soto certainly came through the terrific tests with flying colours." J See how they tried! They tried In London «. Paris... Brussels . Stockholm... Antwerp... In fact, the whole of the centres of Europe, India. Australia—and they have tried and failed too in New Zealand ! The American Hell-Drivers made the car* leap over ramps at 50 miles an hour high Into the air landing on four wheels !on two wheels! —on one wheel I —crashing the cars through a blazing wall of timber—rolling them over and over with roof, sides, and nose hitting the ground In turn...a series of hair-raising feats never attempted by any other car manufacturer. And after each rigorous test the Hell Drivers drove the cars away to even more startling thrills. THOUSANDS WERE HELD SPELLBOUND AT THE EXHIBITIONS IN NEW ZEALAND—WITNBSSING THE MOST SPECTACULAR AND DRAMATIC MOTOR CAR TESTS EVER CONDUCTED IN THE DOMINION. r *<***< y ■■ \ 'A S't These breath-taking demonstrations are deliberately presented to prove to the public the Strength, Rigidity and Perfect Safety of the ALL-STEEL BODY of the Chrysler, Plymouth and De Soto. Every car used in these demonstrations was a standard car, without special preparation, or without the addition of a single strengthening strut or brace. Had the bodies of these cars not been ALL-STEEL but merely a steel shell nailed or bolted on to a wooden framework they would have collapsed with the terrific strains and impacts.
