certainly gives a good ride both in the front and the back.

I should like to try the car as soon as it is considered that it/gives as good a ride as the Cadillac on ordinary roads.

The brakes on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III as tried yesterday were very poor with a definite tendency to pull to the right, the latter I assume was due to incorrect adjustment.
