REGAL 80" CAR
SHOWN TO TRADE
Wilson Company Demon
strates Late Features in It's
New Model B.

The Wilson COMPANY is demonstrating
the Regal go TO many prospective buy
ers and the car is attracting much at
tention because its lines are in good
taste.
Stability is a really recognized quail
ity in the Regal. In general design the
1910 model IS identical with that Of
its predecessor. although the makers
have added a dozen OF more minor Inn
provements 20 the various systems IN
the car, all Of which are rcfnements, as
q result Of a ye.'T' IS experience. Most of
them are in harmony with tendencies
evidenced by the leading automobile
builders Of the country.
The Regal motor is Of the conven-
tional four-cylinder, four-cycle type,
characterized by a theTmO-syphon cool
ing system, with a double return pipe
from the waterjacEet to the radiator.
The crankcase is constructed in two
parts, ,the lower portions being larger
than usual, and serves as an oil reser-
voir in the lubricating system.
From the body point Of view Of
Regal cars one OF the leading altera-
tons in the new model IS the increased
tonneau space, which has been secured
by adding two inches to the wheel
base. giving It measurement OF one
hundred and seven inches. OF further
interest 10 purchasers is the new lamp
equipment. the car now being sold with
gas headlights and generator as well
as the conventional dash and rear lamps
and horn.
