High Speed Car With Low Center of
Gravity and Many Engineering
Innovations. *
Detroit, January 4.—After eighteen
months of development work, Dodge
Brothers, Inc., has officially announced the, Victory Six, a passenger car
containing a number of marked innovations. It is long and low in appearance, Capable of sustained high,
speeds, and is priced from $1.'045 to
$1,170; the standard sedan selling at
$1',095 f.o.b. Detroit.
Plans for 1928 at Dodge Brothers
incllude the contiwance of the Standard Four, equipped' with 4-"wheel
brakes and priced At §8(75 for the sedan, and! the Senior Six, priced «>t
$1,595 for the sedan, in addition to
the Victory Six. The .Graham Brcth.-
ers truck division, which lias just
completed the most prosperous year
in its history, will continue to build
commercial cars and trucks of five
capacities; 2-ton,-1%-ton, 1-ton, 3-4-
ton and %-ton.   ~
"With this program," says Joseph
H. Th©io2>son, Tpsilanti dealer, "the
Dodge dealers are prepared to meet a
wide raniga of the demand! for automotive transportation. These three
distinct classifications of passenger
cars and five . separate types of
tr.uleks fit into a high percentage of
the public's requirements as indicated by the industry's total sales." "
- Tentative schedules for the year indicate that nearly three-fourths of
Dodge Brothers passenger car production will consist of Victory models including a coupe at $1,045, a
coupe with TSimble seat ait $1,095, a
sedan at $1,095, die luxe sedan at
$1,170, and a de luxe brougham at
$1,170.     •
Grilling tests during which more
than 1,000,000 miles were rolled up
by engineers in both experimental
and actual-production models preceded the formal announcement of-the'
Victory. Some of the test ears, on
durability runs.^ware kept going on
the highways until their speedometers showeid! ovier lOO.OO'O miles; speed
performance on the Indianapolis
track demonstrated that the car was
capable of maintaining nearly 70
miles pier hour as an average in
ttiousand-mdle grinds. For months
preliminary to the formal 'announcement, Victory Six models have been
subjected to all sorts and conditions
of roaidwork in all parts of the United States; their drivers taking them
14,000 feet up mountains and far below sea level on western deserts.
Officials of the Dodge company
state that the new car embodies several basic- innovations in automotive
construction and design. To provide
road-ho'ding qualities necessary for
high speeds and!.at the same time to
parnufrths low sweeping "body lines
dictated by fashion without sacrificing roominess or road "clearance,
Dodge Brothers is employing a design
entirely new to the industry. The
baSy and; the chassis. frame, in the
Victory Sis, are a single unit.
Because conventional sills and
cross-members are done away with,
the center of gravity is closer, to the
road and over-all height of the car is
i about at the ordinary man's, hatbrim..
The low center of gravity and union
of chassis and body are said to have
a marked stabilising effect, reducing
side sway and adding greatly to riding comfort. The frame"-of the Victory Six chassis is so deep that no
splash shields aire necessary, thus
eliminating a soiurce of noise.
Further structural distinctiveness
has been obtains! by a novel- type of
body design, which, might be described as a steel shell w^Tded inside an
outer steel shell to form a double
waE with an ai'r space between.
What automotive engineers graphically and untechnieally describe as "tin-
panning" in all-steel body-worts traction effectually has beien suppressed'
by perforations -and other sound-
deadening devices; leaving, they _as-
sert, strength, lightness, appearance,
and absence of .rattles as a net gain.
The engine developed exclusively
for the Victory Six is an L-head, medium duty . type, with bore of 3 3-8
inches and stroke of 3 7-S inches. Pistons are aluminrjm alloy. Seven
bearings support- the Crankshaft,
which turns approximately 1.285 rj).
m. at 25 miles an. hour and about
3,350 r.p.m. at 65 miles an hour. Ba-
c-ause of rigid support and careful
balancing ofi the 52 pound crankshaft,
no counterweights or other vibration
dampeners are used. Gearshift positions are SA.B. standard; namely,
lever to left and back for low and to
right and" back for high.
Four-wheel Lockhead hydraulic,
footbrakes expand internally against
a drum 12 Inches in diameter. The
parking brake contracts on the propeller shaft.
The entire line is on (display-at Yp-
sUanti this ■ week, where the three
models will be shown for the first
time.     ' ' '

"The  Short Way" -Succeeded Elliott
Line «n Fjrldfiy.
As Mr. Bruckner, the old and fiaith-
ful driver of the Elliott bus line was
about to leave Adrian, last Thursday
afternoon, for the last run- of the day,
he was informed that would be his
final trip and the concluding one of
the line. Mr. Brruckner had for some
time realized that something was go*
ing to happen:, but had every reason
to believe that ,a Teasonable notice
would "be given him.
On Fridays morning a new bus line
for the Adrian-Ann Arbor route made
its appearance with a new schedule
in effect The new coaches are white
in color, four-door entrance and on,
either side is painted "The Short
Way."
