Note: 1-piece non-original windshield; winged motometer ornament; windshield post spot light; non-standard bumpers, sixth-series headlamps; non-original equipment, 5-lug wheels. Mr. N. Harper Steward of Philadelphia, Penn. photographed with his 136 sedan which he has driven 102,350 miles. Mr. Steward is the original owner of the car and is naturally very enthusiastic about its long and highly satisfactory service. He is using the car every day and says it has many more thousands of miles of unused transportation.
