FREAK CARS EyADE TAx

Freak motor cars built to dodge l the luxury tax strike the eyes of American travellers in Paris. Little fellows that make the Amer ican road lice" look gigantic by comparison bob in and out among the heavier traffic. Some are so low that they look as if they could run right under an ordinary car as a dog runs under a horses belly. Others have the appearance of being always about to capsize or to be squeezed to death.
 A whole category of small cars has been built to beat the law granting a low yearly tax to cycle cars. The law in the first place defines a cycle car as a vehicle of certain weight horse power and seating capacity. The manufacturers have gone to nearly as possible normal car, and yet within the legal weight, power and capacity of a cycle car.
 One of the most amusing tax es- caping devices is played with the lowly Ford. One goes to a Ford mer- chassis. Now a truck of any kind is commercial vehicle and is exempt from the hated 10 per cent luxury tax levied on pleasure cars.
 One then goes next door and buys body. This body is a thing won- IuIly Ildue. Q keep within lne law the body has to be light truck body. It has to have a door, at the back. for example. and the rear seat must be removable.
 There is a back door. 1t Is true, but 1t Is blended into the lines of the body and is furthermore hidden by the spare tire. But 1t can, should the tax inspector demand it. be opened to prove that it is there. The back seat, tCo. is technically removable. but Is built and shaped to look as perma- nent as the same seat in a million aires limousine. All the lines of the body. the enameling, the hardware and other features are of touring car, not truck. character. The sum total is something as long as Rolls Royce and identifiable as a Ford with the greatest difficulty.
 It is supposed to be convertible truck with pleasure service inciden tai. In reality 1t is the reverse, touring car that with some difficulty can be transformed into truck.
 The tax officials know that it is no good as a truck, but the owner can always reply:
 "Whose business is 1t If l prefer to have my truck look as much like a pleasure car as possible?" Anyway the system saves the buyer $100 In taxes at the time of purchase and a sensible figure In the yearly license.-Guy Hickok, in Paris Let ter to the Brooklyn Eagle.
