MAXWELL SHOWS
NEW REQUIREMENTS
Improvements Add to Value
of Car Without Chang
ing One Model

Besides several important i'm
provements. which greatly enhance
the value of the Maxwell there are
many lesser refinements which ado
to the cars mechanical perfection,
although there has been no funda-
mental change in the one model
chassis.
In the Maxwell to-day the depth
of the frame members has been in
creased from three to six inches.
The former method of attaching the
body to the frame by the use OF
brackets has been discarded and the
body now rests directly upon the
frame itself, which greatly strength
ems the car. The elimination of the
noisy splash guards, made possible
by the change. is appreciated by mo-
torists.
a, The wheelbase has been increas-
ed by half a foot this season, its
length now being 100 inches. The
body is also roomier.
Another improvement is the COM
pensating underslung rear spring
now used by the Maxwell. This type
of spring is the same that has re-
Gently been adopted by many of the
manufacturers of the highest priced
cars.
The longer wheelbase, with
the underslung compensating rear
springs, not only improves the rid
ing qualities wonderfully but makes
for even greater ''roadability"-a
feature always noted in Maxwell
cars.
There has been installed an i'm
proved strainer and sediment bulb
in the gas line.
An electric lock controls the
starter, - making it impossible To
mesh the pinion and fly wheel while
the motor is running. A heavier
pinion is used in the rear axle. ~
larger gas tank has an improved
gauge and filler pipe.
A single point switch is made pos
sible by the use of a straight 12-volt
battery, which assures a better bat
terry service.
The minor mechanical improve
ments, however, are not the only
new features in the one model Max
well. The body-hood and cowl lines
are extremely graceful this year.
The front and rear aprons, slant
ing windshield, deeper and softer
upholstery, the improved quality of
trimming material, wider running
boards and tenders all combine to
make one of the most attractive ears
ever produced in its price class. The
slanting windshield eliminates the
back glare of lights from the rear.
The staggaFd seat roadster with
its roomy rear compartment, the
roomy four-door sedan, the six pass
enger Berline, the luxurious coupe,
and the all weather tops on touring
and roadster models are all in keep
ing.

Packard Models More
Attractive Than Ever

The note of efficiency and utili-
tartan purpose is most evident in
the car display chosen for the Har-
risburg Automobile Show by Mr.. b.
B. Harrington, Local Manager of the
harrisburg Branch of the Packard
Motor Car Company. Special atten-
ton is directed to the two cars, one
of which is a standard 3-35 Twin
Six seven-passenger touring car and
the other 3-25 siX-passenger con-
vertihle Brougham. A truck is ex-
hbited of two tons capacity repre-
senting the latest development of
worm-driven motor trucks. The car
exhibit is complete with a Runabout
with a Fleetwood body and q seven
passenger Limousine equipped with
Durham body.
Mr.. Harrington in referring to the
new Twin-SiS,> says it embodies
greater beauty than any preceding
model, although il carries the hall
marks that have long distinguished
Packard cars. In both open and
enclosed cars the long low effect
blended by fuselage lines is strik-
msly apparent. The powerful,
smooth and economical perform
Rnee of the Twin-SiX motor have es-
tablished the twelve-cylinder engine
In favor of motorists. Economy of
IdplulIN OF
pick up, wide range of ability on
high gear, smoothness of action at
all speeds and surplus power for
hill climbing are identified with the
new Twtn-StN to an even greater de-
gree than in any previous model
In speaking of the general utility
OF the motor car to-day, Mr.. Har-
rington relates that one of the chief
reasons for the rapid adoption OF
the automobile, to go back a few
years, was the inadequacy of the
horse. Now that there is made
quate rail transportation, because of
the war conditions, an even wider
held of operation is offered to the
passenger car, The decision of the
Government to cut off drawing room
cars from railroad trains, and to dis
continue many passenger trains or
oinarily would inconvenience the
man of affairs, Yet the man with.
a capable and thoroughly depend
Venienced.
The necessity of the motor car is
becoming generally recognized in an
lndisputable manner as some one
mas said, eliminate the motor car to-
Gay and we would retrace fifty wears
ana our efficiency would be cut in
half. 1t is particularly certain that
much greater use is TO be made OF
the highways for general passenger
reeds in the city to suburb and from
city TO city travel With good roads
the individual transportation service
to be had by the means of the mo-
ter car can be made an actual
means of saving time, money and
energy.
