TOPS ARE DURABLE
AND SHOW UP WELL

n the early days OF the motor car. a
II top was often cosidered a luxury
and q piece Of equipment that had lit

over city streets or country roads. II
an owner thought he might have use
for q TOP. he could buy one from the
manufacture along with other &C
cessories and parts that have since be-
come standard equipment
When automobiles had been de-
veloped 10 such a state as TO lend
themselves TO long trips, with the at
tendant possibilities that occupants
might be caught in a storm. manu-
1acturers gave some thought to tops
and advised the purchase OF them. 60

them IN the purchase price OF the car.
But, for many years car builders

cars followed 50 closely in body de-

Tops were usually huge. cumbar-

II is little wonder. then, that owners

Of a storm they would stop TO raise

Revolution IN Auto Tops.
Along with the development OF the
motor car came the realization Of the
Advantages a good top would possess
Experience taught drivers how 20 get
the most OF a top and the only natural
thing for the manufacturer TO do was
20 increase its attractiveness side by
side with its convenience
This development has been going on
50 gradually and the adoption OF
year-'round tops has been so steady
that few people realize Il Is as IN
common today TO see a top down IS
II was a few years ago to see a top up
on a delightful day. Out OF q hun
dred motor cars that passed a corner
IN a certain large city the other day,
there were only four cars with low
cred tops. and two OF these were on
cars designed for those who seek the
more unusual in body styles.
When one gives serious thought to
this new custom. he sees that Il Is a
very logical thing TO do. People
usually do the simple things eventu-
ally and leaving the top up IS about
the simplest and easiest thing 70 do
with It.
Present-day tops have overcome the
disadvantages OF the old types and
have at the sane time assisted IN Civ

It IS a paragraph from a letter writ

North American continent. Il con-
tinues:
iAs we drove down the main street

sengers IN the tonneau ample vision

Many owners, Intending TO get n
long period of service out Of their cars
and knowing that there ~ no par
ticular need Of lowering tnsir tops,
have refrainsd from doing so because
OF the wear and tear resulting from
frequent folding. They are getting
their full share Of the pleasure in mo-
tOring without worrying about wheth-
er they should drive with the top up
or not. And they are keeping their
tops looking new and neat by using
them. Tops are made for year-'around
service and will last longer when
they are IN place than when they are
creased and folded within the slip
cover.
Way to Beauty Car.
The development OF tops and side
curtains has been IN line with other
improvements in the motor car. Since
the earliest days. the trend OF manu-
facture has been largely determined
BY the desire OF motorists
For no other reason than that the
top has an important part in the
complete equipment Of a motor car,
has IL been brought to its high state
OF development. The public has de-
handed an open car with a top that
while practically permanent, could
still be lowered.
Considering the number OF motor
lists who drive with their tops up, Il
is, indeed, surprising to note that more
OF them have not removed the carrier
irons on the rear Of the body and
discarded their slip covers entirely.
Unnecessary encumbrances would not
only be done away with IN eliminating
the carrier irons, but the beauty Of
the car would be improved immensely

Q ing open cars an improved appearance
as well as some OF the advantages Of
closed cars.
In this light. perhaps too much
credit cannot be given to closed cars
in bringing out this Improvement In
open cars
There is no question about the su-
Deriority OF the closed car for driving
in all kinds OF weather. but the open
car, with good top, improved wind
shield and tight-fitting side curtains,
can TO very large degreee attain the
protection OF the more costly closed
car.
Tops Really Part OF Body.
Il Is perfectly simple, for instance.
to prevent dust from floating into a
closed car by closing the windows on
the side from which the wind IS blow
ing and leaving the windows on the
other side open for ventilation. In
similar manner. curtains may be read
ily attached on the dusty side OF an
open car.
On windy days several sections OF
the side ccurtains may be put in place
TO shut out undue drafts. This would
have meant in earlier years almost
complete obstruction TO passengers
vision, but today curtains do not sac
rifice vision in offering protection. .
All OF these things 90 back to the

not care for a permanent roof they
still desire a top that they need not
lower because Of its appearance or In
convenience And, the fact IS, they
seldom do lower It.
Another reason why the average
owner leaves his top IN place Is that
he realizes the top is really a part OF
the body rather than a mere addition
to Il. Ten OF fifteen years ago tops
were anything but comely. They we're
quite out OF proportion with the rest
Of the car and many motorists thought
that driving was more difficult with
the top up. And as the top had little
TO do with the car, outside OF protect
ing passengers in a storm, It was low
cred as soon as the storm was over.
The lines OF the top on the modern
car are practically q continuation OF
the body lines. Both body and top are
designed 10 90 together and the de-
Felopment has reached such a point
that many cars are considered better
looking when their tops are up. The
truth IS that a good top IS the crown
ing feature OF a handsome car and as
becoming as a beautiful hat 10 a veil
dressed woman.
