Chassis GF-68.

This is the experimental landaulet with a special sub-frame and which is now in your hands for the usual test.

We think it would be a good plan to compare the weight of the Car with a standard landaulet, but unfortunately we had no opportunity before the Car left our hands of weighing it complete.

Perhaps you will be good enough to have this done and advise us of the result, at the same time sending us particulars of the accessories etc. on board the Car, so that a true comparison can be made.
