CABRIOLET ADDED
TO The 0LDS Line
This Is the Latest Member
of S-Cylinder Family Of
. Oldsmobiles.

A cabriolet Of unusual beauty of
line and refinement of finish has been
a6ded to the distinctive line of eight
cylinder cars produced by the Olds
Motor works of Lansing, Mich.
Extreme luxury and patrician ele-
gance distinguish this car. Its long,
low lines, smooth flowing curves and
glistening coachwork. set off by a
German silver radiator and silver fin
tsEed lamps, hub caps and door han
dies, convey an impression of indi-
viduality characteristic of all Oldsmo-
bile designs.
An unusual feature is presented in
the collapsible top, which is entirely
minus all exterior bracing, so that it
presents a smooth, continuous surface
over all. This top is easily handled
from the inside by one man. When
up, it is rigidly locked in front to
posts of great solidity, integral with
the body, forming complete closed
car. When down, its peculiar internal
construction, involving n toggle joint
arrangement, holds it permanently in
place, without any exterior fastening
of any kind. Black landau leather is
employed as the top material.
The doors are very substantial, with
rattle proof windows capable of being
set at any position. When the top is
down, these windows disappear, drop
ping into recesses inside the doors,
which are concealed by folding the
window brackets over them. The street
door is locked from the inside, while
the door on the curb side is Yale
locked.
A novel arrangement of seats pro-
vides unusual room in the car, the
drivers seat being placed 15 inches in
advance of the main seat, which ac-
commodities two passengers. In addi-
ton, there is an extra folding seat for
a fourth passenger pivoted under the
cowl. The extra space in back Of the
drivers seat is utilized for a leather
covered compartment, IA inches
square and 81 inches deep, large
enough to carry articles of consider
able bulk.
Ample light and completeness of
vision are insured to all occupants Of
the car by two large oval windows in
the rear, of the folding top and two
rectangular windows with rounded
corners in the sides. in addition to the
windows in the doors. A cut-glass
dome light furnishes illumination for
night driving.
The interior finish OF the car is su-
perb. with upholstery Of extra quail
ity. long grain, French leather. stuffed
with resilient coil springs and high
grade hair. Throughout the top Is
lined with luxuriously soft and dis
tnctive material of heavy, striped gray
wool, with heavy nap. this material
also serving as floor covering. Care
ful attention to detail is seen in the
binding of the upholstery, consisting
OF distinctive braid OF heavy Alpaca
WOOL with black stripes. to match the
top interior.

instrument board Is found In this car.
OF Circassian walnut with silver fin
ished instruments, mounted flush. in.

clock, ammeter, oil pressure gauge
and lighting and ignition switches.
