De SOTO NAMES
ALL SPANISH

In keeping with its Spanish back
ground. the recently announced new
chrvsler.built DeSoto Six has been
,1rovided with Spanish names Ior
an seven body styles, instead OF tne
usual terms used by automonlIe
manufacturers, says kari IL 6ron'
son DeSoto director Of advertising.
eve were moved for two reasons
ia choose new names to designate
the DeSoto six body styles, says
RronsoYl. ''First, the car was named
IN honor of the fearless Spanish
,1oblernan, fernando DeS0to, dis
coverer Of the Mississippi River.
SecondIy. the DeSoto Six Is g. dis
tinctly individual car and we Te!t
that Il warranted a distinctly lndi'
yidual nomenclature.
sAs q result the body styles are
named as follows: Roadster Espancl,
Faeton, Cupe Business, Sedan,
Sedan Ccche, Sedan de Lujo and
Cupe de Lu1o. These names It will
be noted bear q great resemblance
to the existing terms used to desig.
nate motor car bodies.
Easy to Pronounce
"They are pronounced in almost
exactly the same fashion as are the
terms with which the public Is
already familiar. But their spelling
Is distinctly Spanish and lends color
to the Spanish background which
has been provided for the new car.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-09-12

I'm almost every case the new
terms are self defining. frequently
De Soto Six dealers are asked what
dc lujo means. Jt means, literally,
t'of luxury" having the same sig
nificance as the Anglicized French
term "de luxe" In the Spanish
language the letter J has the sound
OF II. SO that properly speaking one
would say, 'Coopay da looho' in
pronouncing the term Cupe de
Lujo."
In studying the derivations Of
various automobile body style terms
which have been in common use
for years a number Of interesting
facts were discovered, says Bron-
son, for example the dictionary
definition of a coupe is a flour
wheeled closed carriage. two seats

A sedan, according to the same
authority is a portable chair or

H UP MOBILES
PARTS HIDDEN

In achieving the enhanced beauty,
fine finish and distinction OF the
1929 Century cars, which the Hupp
Motor Car Corporation has just
presented, the handling of sheet
metal played a prominent part. ac'
cording to Tom Mott.
'grhe unique design worked out
for these cars is so wholly new in
automobile practice that 1t was
even necessary to devise new words
to describe it." says Tom Mott,
''Their designers speak Of them a.
tailored metal.
Before the new cars were per-
mitted to go on display Hupmobile
engineers spent months of close
study and untirIng experiment in
carrying to its logical conclusion
the principle Of unified harmony.
This principle, an outstanding fear
ture Of the original Century cars,
was largely influential in creating
the instantaneous and widespread
public demand that greeted them
and that has since led to the break
ing of every Hupmobile production
shipment record.
All Parts Covered
"In the unified harmony design
of the 1928 model the deft handling
of sheet metal was an important
factor. Sheet metal was so used
as TO cover out OF sight all protrud-
ing mechanical parts. Even the
gasoline tank, usually left exposed
on motor cars, was completely
hidden.
During the months that have
interviewed since the 1923 Century
cars were put on the market Hup-
mobile designers have rounded out
this principle Of unified harmony
and have carried their unique treat.
ment Of sheet metal to its logical
conclusion. Among the details Of
their improved construction il the
extension OF the hood sill and front
splash guard under the radiator TO
cover the front spring shackle.
I'm the rear the fuel tank cover
Ia carried out around the rear
spring shackle. A variety of
grooves, curves and contours now
serve TO accentuate the graceful
ness OF the cars silhouette and a
new impression of increased
solidity has been given by a modi-
fled treatment of angles and cor
ners.
Example Followed
"Cbe result is that while other
manufacturers, spurred on by the
remarkable popularity OF the origi.
nal Century models all this year,
have been adopting the unified har-
mony principle as Hupmobile exem-
Plified it eight months ago, Hup-
mobile designers, benefiting by the
knowledge and experience gained
during the intervening time, have
succeeded in so far enhancing the
beauty of their cars that the Gen.
Jury of 1929, as iC has just been
revealed to public view, IL today
as far ahead of the industry in
charm and beauty as its prototype
was when it first appeared.
'The pleasing impression made
by tailored" metal treatment has
been supplemented by numerous
other refinements that add to the
attractiveness Of the Century cars.
Details to which attention has been
paid include among other bumpers,
huh caps, tail lights, splash guards
and trunk racks. In fact, the en-
tire car points where improvement
was possible and the producers OF
the new Century say now Of their
1929 line az confidentaly as they
did Of its predecessor last winter
that they consider the Hupmobite
