Tho Golden Rocket demonstra*
tion featuring the eoperior per*
formaooe of the now Oaklaod
V-type Bight oo the streets of
Bellwood is meetiog with enthusiastic poblic response, according
to Mr. Werts of tbe Werts garage
local Oakland-Pontiac dealers.
"Hoodreds ot persons already
bave takeo advantage of the
opportunity to ride in the Golden
Rocket cars and each day sees a
greater asm ber of volunteer
passengers," said Mr. Wertz. We
bope before tbe end of March
everybody in tbe towo will bave
bad a ride io the oew Oaklaod
Eight, for ooly by personal exper-
ence can He many features of
comfort snd performance be folly
appreciated.
"Those wbo have ridden in tbo
Oakland Eight have stamped it
with emphatic approval. They
have commented particularly on
ite abundant reserve of power
•resulting from its unusual ratio of
one horsepower to each 87 pounds
of car weight. This ration of
power to weight explains the
Oakland's rapid acceleration, its
high top speed end it* remarkable
hill-climbing ability."
As a pert ot a national demonstration ot tbe Oakland Etgbt
daring March, tbe Wertz Garage
hae identified eeveral stock cars
witb golden  rockets painted   op
op aay person wbo signals a desire
to ride. Tbe demonstration involves absolutely ao obligation.
Tbe Golden Rocket emblem
was adopted as symbolical of tbe
flashing power and speed with
which tbo oew Oakland Eight is
so richly endowed.
