And that's why a ' one-piece' car with a P'S'C pressed steel body gives you bodywork as it is meant to be. All the virtues of strength are there without the bulk of clumsy top hamper. All that useless body weight has disappeared ; the wooden sill between body and chassis is gone. Body and chassis grip one another ; steel joined to steel. You get lower lines without loss of head room. You find the weight where it's wanted—along the line of the wheel-base—-near the ground. A P'S'C built body consists of four main units of Pressed Steel welded into one . ligbt but very strong. This body is fixed direct to the chassis so that body and chassis are unified. In this P'S'C 'one- piece' construction, chassis and body-frame and body itself are all one and all-steel. Without costing any• more a P'S'C Pressed Steel body adds a great deal to the comfort, appearance and safety of your car. Ask about P'S'C when you buy your new car. Ask if the body is of P'S'C Pressed Steel—made on the P'S'C ' one-piece ' principle. P.S.C. Pressed Steel was adopted in the Hillman Wizard—the car of the moderns.

  • 2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage
    Contact: Brandt Rosenbusch 2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage The First Avenger Plans for the first car to carry the Avenger name were initiated by the Rootes Group (later to become Chrysler Europe) in England in 1963. Intended to replace Rootes’ best-selling vehicle of the time, the Hillman Minx, the project was delayed by funding issues; another car, the Arrow, would become the replacement for the Minx. Still, Rootes executives saw the need for a smaller car, and consideration of what they would call the “B-Car” began in earnest in November 1965. It would prove to be the first and last car developed by Rootes, following its 1967 takeover by Chrysler Corporation. Said to have drawn its inspiration from Detroit, the new car featured a readily identifiable “semi-fastback” design that would become its trademark. Much consideration was given to the needs of female customers; fashion consultants were employed during the design phase. The Hillman Avenger would feature a four-link rear suspension in place of traditional leaf springs, standard front anti-roll bars and a selection of four inline-four cylinder engines. The Hillman Avenger was introduced in February 1970 to popular acclaim. This B-class vehicle, built in sedan and wagon versions to compete with the Austin 1300, Ford Escort, Vauxhall Viva and other small cars, was designed to be the basic no-frills Hillman, with a four-speed manual gearbox an all-iron overhead valve engine. Four-door saloons were built first, followed by two-door saloons and five-door “estate” models. Many variations of the basic Avenger appeared over the years.
