The Paige-Detroit $50.
By BURTON S. BROWN

Drive to Broadway-a tough proposition
because of the condition of the cobble-
stones and the sharp increase in grade
twenty feet from the top-she started
at the bottom at three miles an hour
and went over the top at six miles an
hour. 1t was very fine finish after
such a slow start. From a dead stop
in high gear at the eoot Of the l5Sd
street hill running up from the Drive
we went over the top at % miles an
hour. From a dead stop in high gear
we went up the Viaduct hill at only a
five mile an hour pace to Tiemann
Place-a fine bit of high gear pulling
then slowed down to three miles an
hour and In the last 100 yards Jumped
her up" until we were doing 80, when
we shut off to make the sharp right
turn at the top.
There Is a winding dirt road at 177th
street running from the Drive up to
Fort Washington avenue. 1t Is hard
one From standing start in high we
went over the crest at ten miles an
hour. We went up Abbey Hill from
miles all hour at the bottom to 20
miles an hour at the top. The well
known 184th street hill running up from
Broadway. on which the Fire Depart
ment tests all its motor apparatus. was
next tackled and conquered in high
gear. We went Into the hilr at
miles an hour and went over the top al
8 miles an hour.
Fort George Hill was easy from a
standing start in high to 2S miles an
hour over the top, keeping the right hand
wheels in the right hand gutter all the
way up. But that was not all. We
went half way down the hill. made
the turn in high at 5 miles an hour
climbed steadily again In high for
fifty feet, then made another complete
turn at miles an hour and again re-
-sumed our climb. We made two more
Of these turns and then went over the
top at 13 miles an hour.
Well not soon forget the easy riding
qualities of this car. Down on Eleventh

They advertise it as 1.-THE Most Beau
tiful Car in America" To this slogan
they might very appropriately add. 'and
one of the most powerful"
The Paige-Detroit 6-66 Is an unusual
performer at all speeds and uader all
conditions of hills and straightaways.
It's six-cylinder engine. special Con-
tinental used by Paige only-desie,led
and built under the special supervision
of Paige and Continental engineers
shows remarkable flexibility and tre-
mendous pulling power. The six cylin-
ders are of special grade iron cast en-
bloc with detachable head. The bore
is 3 ga inches and the stroke inches.
1t has an aluminium crank case. The
cylinder bloc, although in one piece. Is
arranged so that the cylinder bores are
located in pairs instead of in threes.
giving a maximum of water jackcting
around the cylinders and an unusual
amount of cooling space around the
valves and valve seats. The gearing OF
this car is 1-2 to /. The wheel base
is 131 inches, and the weight $500 pounds
The Larchmont model in which we
had our demonstration, Is {. four-pas-
senger sport models and sells for $3.50
delivered in New York, which is $50 more
than the price of the touring model
With 40x2 front springs and 81 1-4x2 II
rear springs, 1t is one Of the easiest rid
ing cars we ever sat in. This car will DO
65 miles an hour easily and and throttle
down to one mile an hour in high gear.
At high or slow speed It's engine runs
quietly and smoothly. and the way It
takes the gas" makes one think OF
flowing water. When you 'pour power
into her you have the feeling that she
delights In the long, refreshing draughts
There were three of us on the demon
stration. First Of all we picked out a
level stretch and slowed her down in
high gear to one mile an hour. From
that speed we accelerated to Is miles
an hour in ten seconds. On that famous
14Sth street hill rurlling from Riverside

! gear in traffic, we drove to tho viaduct
on Riverside Drive. which Is level
stretch, and tried her out on accelera-
tion. From three miles an hour in high
gear she leaped to twenty-nine miles
an hour in ten seconds, and from five
70 thirty-three miles in the same short
time. On that mean 148th street hill
from the Drive to Broadway. which any
owner of an old car ought to tackle IL
he wants to get an eye opener on the
great superiority of 1929 cars over their
predecessors, this tight little bundle OF
energy slowed down to five miles an
hour at the bottom in high and went
over the top at twelve miles an hour.
Nobody can tell US that isn't pulling.
We went into the 1s4th street hill
running up from Broadway at fifteen
miles an hour, and went over the top
at twelve miles an hour. There are
some bad "hollows' on this hill, and we
had our doubts about the little car's
ability to make 10 because of its COM
paratively short wheel base, but ap-
parently there is something about the
quality and suspension of those 6415
underslung rear springs and the general
balance and design of the chassis that
keeps the rear end down and the rear
wheels on the job.
We must admit that the performance
of this car on Fort George Hill quite
outdid anything we had expected even
after the way she had already per-
formed. When a car of this size can
start from a dead stop in high gear at
the foot of the hill and go over the top
at a twenty mile gait our hat is of
to 1t.
Before returning to the showroom we
ran down TO Eleventh avenue to try
those springs again. This is a tough
stretch of cobblestones. holes and rail-
road tracks. The car took everything
at thirty-eight miles an hour without
any throwing or bucking.
From first to last 1t was nice work
! In spots sensational.

Interesting Changes
AT the Marmon Branch

There is great activity at the New
York branch of the Marmon Motor Cal
Company Coincident with the price
change that took effect at the first of
the month. the sales staff was placed in
charge of C. e. Gunther as retail sales
manager. Mr.. Gunther has had long
experience in the high class car field.
For a number of years he was asso-
ciated with Robert Schuette in market
ing the s. G. ", and later the Rolls
Royce. For the past six years Mr.. Gun
ther has been connected with the Mar
mon branch, and he has seen this car
grow into its present favorable position
on the Row.
The addition of i. s. Partridge to
the Marmon organization as special
representative is another change to be
noted.
