For Seven Passengers.
The new six-cylilfder Pope-IIartford au-
tomobfle, which has been added to the
Pope line for 1911, made it's official bow
to the motor world at the ~ l.. A. NJ.
show in New York January ia, where
1T proved a strong drawing card. This
car is fltted with a seven passenger front
door touring body, which corresponds in
amplified form, to the four-cylinder car
bodies of that design. The six-cylinder
body retains the same graceful curves
and contours, and the same low-set
sTaisht-line effect. The enlai cement and
elonsation of the body, however tend to
emphasize all of these characteristic fea-
lures, so that the car as whole presents
very striking appearance. 1t makes a
most impressive. cooking motor vehicle.
The body and running gear of this car
are richly and effectively finished in
mellow tone of dark red The panels
and holdings are striped in black, edged
with fine gold lines The commodious
tonneau is upholstered in shiny black
leather.
In its mechanical and structural make
up, well as in its body equipment, the
siX-cylinder Pope-Hartford Incorporates all
the improvements of this years models
of that make and embodies all the basic
principles Of PopeHartford design and
construction. AS compared to the four
cylinder model w. it has a longer VIII ell
base, wheels Of greater diameter with de-
mountable rims. and other differences in
cidental to the motor, body and equip
ment. but in general the mechanical con-
struction of both cars is identical.
The long wheel base measures 134
inches and the wheels measure 3S inches.
The water cooled motor develops 90
horsepower. The cylinders are cast in
pairs the valves being located in the
heads Four and-a -half-inch tires are
used in front, and ;..X5 on the rear
wheels. The transmission is of the selec-
tive type with four speeds forward and
a reverse. direct drive being on the
fourth. The two sets of brakes OPP
Grating on the hubs of the rear wheels
are extremely efficient. The fieXibility
of the long chrome nickel steel springs
and the novel frame construction, with
its channel side sections of chrome nickel
steel reinforced by the insertion of tough
filler pieces of selected white ash. have
helped to make the new Pope-Hartford
models unusually comfortable and smooth
riding vehicles
