Dodge Deliveries
Make New Record

Retail deliveries for the week end
ing Jan. '16 exceeded those of any
January week in Dodge Brothers
history, it was announced this week.
Even more remarkable, it is pointed
out, is the fact that it was one of
the largest of all weeks, winter or
summer.
Total deliveries by dealers to pur-
clhsers last week were 4188 Dodge
Brothers Motor Cars and Graham
Brothers trucks. This exceeds the
corresponding week of 1925 by prac-
tically 100 percent and Is an in
crease of 1S43 units over the pre-
ceding week of 1926 These figures
do not include Canadian or overseas
deliveries.
New orders taken by dealers for
later deliveries show an even more
remarkable increase, having leaped
from BILL for the week ending Jan
uary 9th, to 5643 for the week of
January 18th, a gain, of 2532. The
latter figures indicate that the pres
ent week will be even larger in point
of actual deliveries than last week.
The figures quoted have nothing
to do with factory shipments. RE
tail deliveries by dealers show the
trend of business factory eXecu-
tive said. "In this particular in
stance they prove quite emphatically
that the public recognizes the ex-
traordinary values represented by the
new low prices announced by Dodge
Brothers, Inc, and Graham Brothers
on January 7th."

Willys-Overland
Establishes Sales Record
New York Show

Scoring popularity second to
none, the new WHY'S knight Six
Seventy" was proclaimed the most
popular siX-cylinder automobile in
troduced at the recent New York
Automobile show, when 10000 en-
thusiastic visitors to the WHY'S
Overland factory branch store show
cred this new car with countless
compliments.
Not only did more interested per-
sons view the comprehensive dis
play of new WHY'S Overland models
at the branch store than ever before
but more Overland and WHY'S
knight cars were purchased from
New York dealers. during show week
than ever before in company history
A total of 594 Overland and WHY'S
knights We're sold to New Workers
during show week.
Providing that the new Seventy
was the most popular car displayed
at the show was the fact that New
York City dealers sold 252 cars dur
ing show week, and these sales were
exclusive of the 342 sold at retail
by the New York branch.
WHY'S Overland's announcement oil
the unusually low price of the new
Seventy" WHY'S Knight created 8
sensation in the midst of the busy
New York Automobile show. The
public had expected the price Of this
car to be considerably higher thar
the s1495 and 1925 figures placed
on the sedan and touring, respective
ly. of this new model.
Unusual enthusiasm greeted the

announcement of the new Seventy
prices, which Immediately classified
this car as the outstanding car ex-
hibited at the show.
When the doors of the Grand
Central Palace were thrown open
on the first day Of the show, this
new sleeve valve model was i'm
mediately surrounded by an -admirinS
throng, which did not lessen during
the show. On Jan. 9Th, from noon
until midnight, 20.071 visitors crowd
ed into the branch showroom to
view this new car which scored such
a phenomenal success during the
National Automobile Show.
This Is believed to be the largest
individual retail sale of passenger
automobiles ever made In the United
States for paid passenger service.
Not only did the new WHY'S knight
Six Seventy" stand out as the most
popular six in it's class, but the
Overland Six, and the WHY'S Knight
Great Six again duplicated their
splendid attraction of 1925 when
thousands, at both the Grand Cen
trail Palace and the factory branch,
voiced their praise for these two
cars. Likewise. the four-cylinder
Overland came in for g generous
amount of praise on the leading car
in the pony" class.
AS in 1925, WHY'S Overland's most
complete line of cars were the talk
Of the New York Show, and, accord
ing to motor authorities, 1895 popu-
larity for WHY'S Overland's three
skies and four will be even greater
than last year, when national sales
records of the company were broken.

Motor Company of Canada, Ltd,
totalled 1929. Fordson tractor
production was 104,16 and the Lin
coin division of the company pro-
duced during the year a total of 8,
4l5 Lincoln cars. In the newest
division of the company, the air.
plane factory, the output was ten
all-metal plares since the factory
was acquired by the Company on
August /, 1925.
The remarkable output of Ford
cars and trucks was reached in spite
OF the fact that for a period of more
than thirty days during August and
September domestic production was
almost negligible due to the intro
duction of the improved types. The
same condition prevailed later on in
the foreign assembly plants as the
changes to the improved cars were
made in these places, some of which
are just now getting into appreciable
production with the improved types.

A Rare Gift
Speed Judgment

BY Erwin 0feer
president Greer College Of Automo-
tive and Electrical Trades, Chicago,
Just how good are you in judg-
ing the speed Of an automobile?
Well, don't bet on it because
Brother Greer is going to slow you
down with the following test:
Put your wife or friend behind
the wheel Of your car. Have them
maintain q constant speed while
the speedometer is covered. Now
look at the road and at the tele-
graph poles and trees which pass
in rapid succession. Estimate the
speed of your car-if you can. I'll
bet you anything you like that in
nine cases out Of ten you will over
estimate your speed.
II you own an open car your
guess will be worse than II you
were in closed car. And should
you have a passenger in the back
seat he will bet that the car is
travelling faster than it looks from
the front seat. Now you're all
bawled UP.
Your principal factor in con-
trolling speed impressions is the
sense of sight. But when you are
in the drivers seat the windshield,
the steering wheel and the hood
form prominent parts Of your field
Of vision. In relation to you these
parts are all stationary. Consequent
ly, and also because of the fact that
the drivers seat is low you see
little of the sides Of the road. This
is why you underestimate the speed
of your car.
The sense of feeling comes into
play when Judging the speed OF a
small and large car. The smaller
car, being light in weight and short
in wheelbase, and travelling on tires
Of small cross section, transmits
road shocks to the passenger that
in a larger car are absorbed in the
weight and balance OF the mechan-
ism. For this reason, thirty miles
an hour in a fiivver is apt to appear
like 45 miles, while a speed of 80
miles in a Rolls, travelling smooth.
vibrationless gait, is apt to give the
impression of only 25 miles.
Speed judging is habit. Try 1t
and see. Drive through open coun-
try at a speed of 81 miles an hour.
Then. upon entering a town, slow
down 10 miles. Your first impress
sion is that you're travelling at o
miles an hour. Likewise as you
leave the garage in the morning and
proceed. to warm her up" and then
"step on it" you feel that you are
going at racing speed. In each OF
these instances your senses nave
become accustomed to one speed ana
the sudden change misleads you.
I once saw Peter De Paolo, the
racing driver step out of race
car that was going 90 miles an hour.
He had just completed several laps
at 100 miles an hour and at the 20
mile gait he had the impression that
his car had almost stopped.
Try out this stunt of guessing the
speedometer. Who knows but that
sometime it may save you fine.
