over the 1925 Moon roadster is all
nounced by the Moon Motor Car
Company and though the new car re-

EUROPEAN EFFECT.
THE changes in the new job over
the previous roadster consist in reali-
fy of the refinements which have been
incorporated in the car TO add TO its
roominess and comfort and TO its ap-
pearance. The shape Of the radiator
shell has been improved by deepening
the radiator so that both the shell
and the radiator have n much better
appearance while the tenders have a
deeper crown and an increase of one
inch in width, the substitution OF
mouldings also having added to the
appearance of the tenders. The front
Tenders are longer and have a more
graceful sweep which gives them
distinctive European effect while the
running boards are much shorter ana
wider necessiated by the change in the
Tenders. All the chassis sheet metal
in the new Moon roadster for 192G
has been redesigned and n gas tank
cover has been added which conceals
the gasoline tank and the rear frame
horns, thus giving a much neater ap-
pearance TO the rear of the car.
THE ARROW.
sMouldings have been entirely elimi-
mated in the bodies of the new Moon
roadster for 1926 which again gives
the car a European effect, one which,
in so far as is known, has never be-
fore been adopted by production car
manufacturers. This effect is achieved
by offsetting the body panels at ap-
proximately the same location former
IL occupied by moulding, this offset
eventually working itself over the
eowl and hood and forming an arrow
head with its apex ct the rear end OF
the radiator shell. The arrow is not
terminated at this point but spreads
out into a three-quarter inch line run.
ming down the front edge Of the hood
thus giving a distinctive appearance
at this point. The upper portion OF
the offset panel is given a darker col
or of our two-tone DUCO color. com
biuation while contrasting stripe is
applied at the meeting point OF the
two colors. The body of the Moon
roadster for 1926 is much roomier,
both in the front and rear compart-
meuts, and a special feature Of this
car is the new entirely removable top
which is proving popular with many
motorists who desire more head and
elbow room while driving. In gen.
eral all the other Moon cars for l92O
have been changed to conform IN
Thought with the roadster model.
