ENCLOSED CARS
 WILL COMPRISE
 2SPCT. OF TOTAL

DETROIT, June 15.-(SpeciaD-1f the automobile production for 1922 will come up to the estimates that have been made here, it will reach the grand total of 2,100,00O passenger cars. Out of this great volume it is estimated that 595,000 will be en- closed cars. Figuring on this basis, closed car production will amount to over 2S per cent of the total volume, as compared with 23.S per cent in 1921, IF per cent in 1920 and 9.04 per cent in 1919.
 Those who appear to be most con- versant with the production schedules and sales of the various factories state that closed car production, ex- elusive of Fords, will be 250,000. This would give an increase of 9S per cent over the production of 14S,750 in 1921. Some there are who declare that by 1880 closed car production will be run ming 36 per cent of the total car pro duction. Figures recently made public covering past and future production arc ac foI1ovyc.
