R. 3, FORT FERRY, OINT.- EUROPES BIGGEST SELLING CAR NOW FOR SALE IN OSHAWA In Europe, where they've been buying small cars for three generations, they buy more Fiats than anything else. For every Volkswagen sold in Italy, 6 Fiats are sold in Germany. For every Renault sold iri Italy, 2 Fiats are sold in France. For every Volvo sold in Jtaly, 9 Fiats are sold in Sweden. Ail this becomes more mean- ingful when you consider that, over there, they have fif ty different ' kinds of cars to choose frorn. And that their choice is based.............. on sixty years of driving these....... various cars under conditions that run ail the way from the sub- zero winters of Sweden to the Alpine roads of northern Italy to the traffic jams of Paris to the no speed liit driving of the German autobahn. Now, if you've been trying to decide between the dozen or so' small cars sold here in Canada, stop in at our new showroomi and look over our seven Fiat models. It'l make your decision considerably easier.
