OF NEW C0LELINE
-EaLE..r-+5F

Now comes the aerotype &utomo-
/ bile body-a radical departure in
motor car building and one which
promises TO mark a new era in pas
senger vehicle designs.
The Cole Motor Car Company OF
Indianapolis. is the originator OF this
new offering. which occupies prom
inent position in a most varied and
diversified line OF cars.
The Cole line this year includes
seven different models on the stand
ard Cole Eight chassis, and seven
distinct types OF automobiles.
In the opinion of experts who have
viewed the line. American automo-
tive engineers have yet to produce
a more advanced type of car from
the standpoint of design and furnish
tngs. The new sport models are
known as the seven-passepger Tour
ster, the two-passenger Roadster, and
the four-passenger Sportster.
Strike New Note.
With their high cowls and low
beveled panels, the aerotype bodies
forcibly strike a new note in body
building. They appeal especially 10
discriminating purchasers who have
heretofore looked far and. wide for
something quite out OF the ordinary,
yet they are offered at a price espe-
cially attractive under war condi-
lions.
The Tourster. with its accumulated
cowl and low, racy panels hes a Pc
cullar snap that escapes no one who
sees II. The use OF bsveled surfaces
and sharp corners wherever possible
has a tendency TO reduce wind re-
sistance TO the minimum. and conse-
quently Increase the speed possiblli-
ties aud power OF this model as well
as the other two models in which the
aerotype design prevails.
The finishing OF the Tourster is in
Cole deep blue, with wheels to match,
or dustproof gray, and the equipment
includes 33xo-inch tires. cord all
