Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, configuration and ornamentation of an automobile as shown in the drawings; the automobile presents a pair of front fenders, a bonnet, a front bumper area, a grill area, front combination lamps, a windshield, a roof, a rear window, a trunk lid, rear fenders, rear combination lamps, a rear bumper, side doors and rear side windows;each front fender presents a side surface and a downwards and outwards curved upper surface; the upper surface has a slightly outwardly curved inner edge that extends along the side edge of the bonnet in plan view and an outer edge in plan view that bulges slightly outwards;the generally symmetrical bonnet presents curved forwardly converging sides, a convex curved front edge, and a concave curved rear edge in plan view; the bonnet curves gradually downwards from the rear edge toward the front edge thereof;the front bumper area is generally symmetrical and is situated on either side and above the recessed grill area; the front bumper presents side surfaces and a front surface having recessed lower running light areas therein; the running light areas present an outwardly and rearwards angled inner side surface in front view with rounded corners between the top, bottom and side surfaces;the recessed grill area presents downwards and inwards angled sides, curved lower corner areas, and generally straight upper and lower edges in front view; the grill area presents a honeycomb-like surface with laterally extending spaced-apart rib-like portions extending across the upper portion of the grill area in front of the honeycomb-like surface;the front combination lamps are situated on either side of and above the grill area and extending between the front bumper area and the adjacent front fender; each front combination lamp presents a generally trapezium shape with an upwards and outwards sloped lower edge and a transparent front surface;the windshield presents a surface which is curved from one side to the other and has a forward edge which conforms to the rear edge of the bonnet; the windshield also presents a pair of generally straight and angled side edges which diverge in plan view from the slightly concave rear edge to the highly curved front edge thereof;the automobile presents a roof with side edges which are generally straight in plan view and then curve slightly outwardly from the rear edge and to the forward edges thereof; the forward edge of the roof is curved outwards and conforms to the rear edge of the windshield while the rear edge of the roof is generally straight and conforms to the front edge of the rear window of the automobile; in side view, the roof curved upwards and rearwards from the windshield a short distance and then slopes downwards and rearwards to the rear window; the roof presents a central small fin-like projection adjacent thegenerally straight forward edge of the trunk lid;the automobile presents a rear window in the trunk lid which is generally rectangular in plan view and is curved from one side to the other; the trunk lid presents generally straight side edges on either side of and spaced outwardly from the side edges of the rear window; the trunk lid extends downwards from the rear edge of the rear window and is slightly concave in side view and has side edges which curve downwards and inwards in rear view and conform to the inner edges of the rear combination lamps;the rear combination lamps present wedge-like outwardly extending triangular shapes with curved inner edges and transparent surfaces; the lower edges of the rear combination lamps follow the contour of the lower edge of the trunk lid in rear view;the rear bumper is generally symmetrical and presents a front surface and side surfaces with smoothly curved corner areas; the side surfaces of the rear bumper have concave curved forward edges that conform to the rear wheel well; the front surface of the rear bumper presents an elongated recessed area along the lower edge thereof which extends most of the width of the rear bumper, the recessed area presenting outwardly sloped side edges, an angled bottom surface, smooth curved upper corner areas, and a downwards and forwards angled inner surface; the front surface of the rear bumper presents a generally trapezoidal central recessed area therein with curved corner areas;the side doors present upwardly bowed upper edges and rearwards bowed rear edges in side elevation view;the rear fenders are situated between the rear edges of the side doors and the curved forward edges of the rear wheel wells and present upwards and rearwards angled straight rear edges which extend from the rear wheel wells, along the forward edges of the rear combination lamps, to the upper corner of the trunk lid;the rear side window above each rear fender presents a generally trapezium shape with an upwards and rearwards angled rear edge in side view.Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a front perspective view from the right side of the design of an automobile;Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view from the right side thereof;Fig. 3 is a front elevation view thereof;Fig. 4 is a rear elevation view thereof;Fig. 5 is a top view thereof; andFig. 6 is right side elevation view thereof.The stippled lines in the drawings do not form part of the design.Diagrams of the design are included.
