the fifteenth century, by jolting
over bad roads in private cars
which had no springs. Then came

Thus history explains the begin

NEW CADILLAC

The improved appearance Of the
new Cadillac. symmetry and Meet.
ness OF lines, and brilliance in color
schemes, are well exemplified in The
four cars in the Cadillac exhibit at
the Auto Show. Changes IN the
company's custom bodies are shown
for the first time this week The i'm
proved and simplifled mechanism of
the new car is also shown in the
cut-open chassis. The exhibit In
: cludes the seyen-passenger sedan in
the standard line, and in the Gus
tom line the five-passenger coupe,
the seven-passenger imperial. and
the four passenger phaeton.
The most noticeable change in
the Cadillac custom is the use of
the slanting front windshield with
a triangular glass between the SIDE
of the windshield and the font
post. With this change the Instru-
ment board is moved forward .nree
and one-haif inches toward the
dash, making the front compart-

dows.
Lines Decidedly Low
The liveliness of contour in the
custom cars is we'll exemplified in
the passenger coupe. The lines
are decidedly low. On the 138inch

ers have created coupe body of

THE Federal road census in 1926

1000 miles were surfaced highways

nearly 16.4 per cent OF our total
highway mileage.
1t is safe to say that probably

Certain interests have paved the

interested in improved roads have
done much to open Americas eyes
to the Imperative demands for such

highway demands of the motorist
and the motor truck owner.
"Of the total of 1,422,353 visitors
to our national parks in 1924, 1t is
estimated that more than II per
cent employed motor vehicles to
reach these treasured spots.

pertinent reasons for an interlacing
