The Chalmers cars for 1918 are an
nounced for the market. and the line
will be handled In Detroit by the Neu-
mann-Lane Co., which has taken over
the agency for Detroit and southwest
ern Michigan, succeeding the Detroit
sales branch which was under the
management of II. ID. Moran.
The new Chalmers line has many
features not usually offered in the
moderate priced car. The features for
this season are the full electric light
ing equipment, Turkish cushions, elev-
en-inch upholstery. all metal backed
bodies, an air-pressure self-starter,
demountable rims and a number OF
other improvements IN detail which
are not so apparent TO the layman' S
eye, but add great deal TO the value
and comfort OF the car.
Three chasses models are TO be put
on the market this year, the $50,
upon which much of the Chalmers rep
utation has been built, the Thirty
six" which was introduced TO the pub
lie last season and the new six
which was brought ont early in 1912
The six" is to be offered at 81, 300
the "Thirty-Six" and $3.50, and the
go" at the standard price OF $1,000
There are no mechanical innova
tions in the Chalmers line for 1919
The self-starter, which was first In
troduced last year. is OF the air-pres
sure type, and the seasons test has
proven 1t entirely efficient and salts
factory The only change is the use
of four-cylinder pressure pump In
The Detroit times., 1912-08-19

stead OF the cylinder check-valve, and
en- improvement in the storage shut
off valve
The motor is unchanged but the
size OF the water jacket and connec-
tions has been increased. The four
speed transmission is used on the
higher priced models.
The chief changes are in body con-
struction The bodies are OF heavy
sheet metal and are very graceful
The dash arrangement Is such that all
the indicators and controls are now
In convenient reach OF the driving
seat The upholstery in the new Chal-
mers models is especially luxurious,
deep Turkish cushions. eleven inches
thick. covering seats and backs com
pletely, so that there is nothing to
mar or scratch. The equipment In
cludes five demountable rims.
The Neuman-Lane Co, which Is
handling the Chalmers cars for De-
troit is composed OF w. +. V. Neu7
mann and George f. Lane, both OF
whom are we'll known In automobile
circles, having sold various lines In
Detroit for the last six years. The
change in the Detroit agency is In ac-
cordance with the policy OF the
Chalmers company which has sold its
product through dealers wherever 1t
has been possible. The Detroit agen-
cy will work in close touch with the
factory, and will be able to give
Chalmers owners the best of service.
A strong selling campaign for the
Chalmers line will be made In De-
troit and vicinity this season.
