What the Oakland is, and what the Oak
land does for the man who owns it, are
matters of public record vouched for by the
performance of more than 200,000 Oaklands
in use.
The Oakland car of today is in principle
the Oakland car of six years ago?all the
intervening time has beenspentin developing,
refining and perfecting the original modd.
There is not a single detail of the present
Oakland that has not earned its right to a
place in the car, and earned it under the
conditions of actual service.
The Powerful Oakland Engine
The engine of the present Oakland Sensible
Six is of overhead-valve design, a type
clearly demonstrated as superior by its use in
all airplane and racing car engines.
This engine delivers more power than
others of similar size because its overhead
valve cylinder is the nearest possible com
mercial approach to the ideal combustion
chamber.
Very light but strong reciprocating parts
?Hhich minimize vibration, a superior method
of vaporizing fuel, the best lubricating system
yet devised, further enhance its efficiency.
As a result, the Oakland owner gets more
miles per gallon of gasoline, more power per
ound of car weight, quicker getaway, easier
ill-climbing anci greater flexibility, than are
available in any other car at anywnere near
the Oakland price.
The Staunch and Lightweight
Chassis
1 he Oakland chassis is distinguished for its
combination of lightness ana strength?it
has for its foundation a rugged 6/^-inch deep
steel frame.
This frame, reinforced by four very heavy
cross-members, lends staunchness to the
entire car, and forms a rigid support for the
body that will not weave or sag.
Every detail of the Oakland chassis is
similarly stout and lasting, its whole structure
reflecting the Oakland policy of embodying
in its product the latest accepted engineering
practice.
