The Pike’s Peak Champion
Lexington Leads in Power, Endurance, and Hill- Climbing Performance Battling through a blinding mountain snowstorm up Pike’s Peak for 12 steep miles, around 142 hazardous turns, a Lexington Special won over a field of 15 cars. The winner’s time was 22 minutes, 25-2/5 seconds. Only 5-2/5 seconds behind came the other Lexington Special, winner of second place, defeating both cars of higher price and those that had been especially built. To make this clean sweep calls for unusual reserve power, quick acceleration, and perfect control at all times. It furnishes positive evidence to the car purchaser that Lexington leads in both ability and reliability. It verifies what every owner of Lexington Thorobred already knows. The success of this car has been phenomenal. The body lines, the color scheme, the seating arrangement, and all the other fine points of the Thorobred are an original and distinct expression of the most advanced sport car style.

While a man’s car in power and speed, it is a woman’s car in its luxurious riding ease and simplicity of control. Its great value, its extraordinary performance, and its unusual economy is possible only because ten great factories, specializing in motor car parts, are closely affiliated with Lexington. Ask the Lexington Dealer to tell you about the cars that “beat ‘em all” at Pike’s Peak and that established a new record for economy of 24 1/2 miles to the gallon on a muddy track at Norfolk, Virginia. All series “S” models equipped with Cord tires
