CAR FOR COMFORT

The Splendid Balance of

The OMand

While motor-cars are m the main much alike, from, the modest , light four to the lordly Rolls-Royce; each one has characteristics that make it different from any other.

ONE car is noted for flexibility, another for pulling powers, another for high speed on top — and others for filling; the asylums. . Nearly every car has some particular point, that lifts it .out of the ruck, as m the case of the;; Oakland! It is above everything else a comfortable car. General Motors' engineers have concentrated on 'this factor m the Oakland, and have attained a high degree of success. In the design ;of the Oakland chassis, particular care has been taken to secure perfect balancethat Is, running balance. Its length has been determined to balance the weight carried, and m consequence ,the daklahd "sits" the

road exceptionally well, and it takes a bad road indeed to make it bounce. • The balance of length, weight and distribution of loading make the car also an ideally easy machine to handle, no matter how bad. the track, the Oakland steers well. ' The ever : increasing' army of campers, who naturally make big demands on a car, find their requirements m- the Oakland. '- It is roomy, will go anywhere and do anything, is. the acme bf comfort, and will take as much luggage as can be piled on without -fear of breaking down under the load. , New Zealand offers wonderful opportunities for camping, and every, year sees new converts to the open-air 'holiday.
