CHRYSLER SUCCESSES

IN FOUR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES Chrysler ears have achieved notable triumphs in speed, durability and general performance contests in four foreign countries within recent weeks, according to reports received in Detroit from correspondents at the scenes. Among them is the success scored by two Chrysler 72 roadsters in South America, one of which, piloted by Victor Fabini, competed in the seventh international speed championship at Carrasco, Uruguay. In the three-day international reliability tour over a muddy cxirse of 810 miles from Montevideo to Carrasco, two Chryslers were among the seven cars to finish out of 13 entries. A 72 roadster, driven by Richardo Sanquinetti and carrying three passengers, was first with by far the best score. Another 72 roadster carried off the laurels at the Puebla races in Mexico. Other foreign victories to the credit of the silver-winged Chrysler include two scored by A. H. Colliver in Australia. During the time these cars were winning new acclaim, a lone 72 sedan was upholding the Chrysler traditions of speed, power and endurance in a daring run up and down the length of Africa. The difference between a pedestrian and a jaywalker is this—when you're walking among them they’re pedestrians: when you’re driving they’re jaywalkers.
