Abstract: The industrial design consists of the shape, configuration and ornamentation of an automobile as shown in the drawings; the most novel and distinctive features of the automobile are the front and rear bumpers and the front and rear combination lamps; the front bumper is generally symmetrical and presents a front section which merges through curved corner areas into outwards and rearwards angled sections which, in turn, merge through curved corner areas into rearwards extending side sections of the front bumper; the front section and angled sections of the front bumper present a recessed honeycomb-like grill area therein having curved upper and lower corners and side edges which diverge downwards; each angled section of the front bumper presents a generally trapezoidal in front view running light area situated within a recessed honeycomb-like surface; the rear bumper is generally symmetrical and presents a central section and forwards extending side sections; the central section presents a smooth curved surface which extends outwards and merges through curved corner areas into forwards extending side sections; the lower surface of the central section extends downwards and curves slightly forwards and presents in rear view a pair of spaced apart curved recessed areas along the lower edge thereof situated close to the curved corner areas of the rear bumper; the rear bumper also presents a pair of rear light areas therein situated adjacent the curved corner areas of the rear bumper; each rear light area presents a generally trapezoidal shape with rounded corner areas in rear view; the central section also presents an upper U-shaped recessed area therein conforming to the lower edge of the trunk; the centre of the rear bumper presents a generally rectangular laterally extending license plate area therein with a generally flat inner surface and rounded corners; each front combination lamp presents a curved transparent front surface and a housing portion which extends around the periphery of the transparent front surface, the transparent front surface curves outwards and rearwards and has a generally trapezoidal configuration with rounded outer corner areas; each rear combination lamp presents a curved transparent surface and a housing portion which extends around the periphery of the transparent surface, the transparent front surface curves outwards and forwards and has a generally trapezoidal configuration in rear view with rounded outer corner areas and an angled lower inner corner area; each rear combination lamp also presents a large upper inside generally trapezoidal area with curved outer corner areas.Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a right front perspective view of the design of an automobile;Fig. 2 is a right rear perspective view thereof;Fig. 3 is a front elevation view thereof;Fig. 4 is a rear elevation view thereof;Fig. 5 is a top plan view thereof;Fig. 6 is a right side elevation view thereof; andFig. 7 is a left side elevation view thereof.The stippled lines in the drawings do not form part of the present design.
