seven passenger car dealers and dis
tributors viii show f1fty-three makes
Of passenger automobiles in many
body styles and designs. The closed
Jobs will be in the spotlight with all
their glitter, their comfort and extreme
motoring facilities. Rumor says that
they will not have the autumn color
glitter that was so fashionable a few
years ago. for the closed car has come
to stay as a regular member OF the
family. It has lost the jazz and the
happer gayety.
There viii be cars that viii live up
to the tastes Of those who must have
society coaches, but there VIII be
scores OF models. that will attract

word phaeton is taking the place of
a very awkward and rather obsolete
word, touring car" The word goes
back to the time wnen none but the
extremely rich could afford a car.
Prices Are Lower
Lower prices have helped the au.
tomobile industry OF all the great
manufacturing industries to produce a
point to an output in excess of two
million motor cars and trucks for the
American motor vehicle industry
More than one million five hundred
thousand cars have already been
- de and delivered. No other indus
- has cut its prices to pre-war levels.
Some Of the prices are the lowest in
history. Recent price changes were
brought about through the great in
crease in production that lowered
overhead and manufacturing costs.
The trucks are coming back with a
vengeance This years output Will no
doubt be double the record Of 1921.
In spite Of all obstacles the truck is
going on to great transportation serv-
ice for the people of America Trucks
on display represent 100 per cent gain
for the truck makers Of the Nation
They. too, with the passenger cars,
have been the one great stabilizing
influence in employment this year.
Two and a half million people have
earned their Ivings because Of the
advances made in the motor industry
this year.
Body Makers Exhibit
Seven special body makers and at
least fifty accessory makers and deal
ers will also show their ware and dem
onstrate the advances of the year 1922
Many Of the things they VIII show
mean safety and comfort and happi-
ness in motoring that was not posi-
bic before this time.
