The Oakland Motor Car company,

land ~All-American Six and its COM
n@nicn car, the smart New Series
Pontiac Six. The public is invited 70

yarious models comprising the new
lines.
The huge oakland Pontiac sales
group with which the new dealers are
new identified, has shown one Of the
most remarkable erowths in the en-
tire automobile industry. With lccf-
III 5000 dealers throughout the
United States, IL now Is more than
five times the size Of the 1925 Oak
land dealer organization The rae
tory sales personnel and TIE district
ea.es Offices st important key cities
have been expanded greatly to meet
the reecs Of the growing dealer
rroup. ". n. Tracy. vice president
IN ch-rre IN sales. has appointed six
regional sales managers TO super
wise the district offices and consti-
tute y means Of ready contact be-
tween the factory and the sales forces
in the field.
A. r.. Clancy. president and general
manager Of the Oakland Motor Car
believes that 1893 will be
the company's greatest year. Terta-
tive PLANS contemplate the produc-
ton md sale Of 100000 motor cars,
- ner cent greater than the sales of
1927. The 1927 sales total of 1913, 900
uaits was itself ais per cent larger
then the sales during 1926.
The remarkable growth in Oakland
Pontiac sales is the most convincing
endorsement Of the company's policy
or pioneering important new de-
velopmcnts. Such features as Ducc.
fcur-whcel brakes. the rubber-si-
fenced chassis, oil and fuel filters,
air cleaners, c~rankcase ventilation,
automatic spark control and depres-
xible beam head lights operated ~
foot control have contributed greatly
40 the fame and prestige Of the OAK
lard Six.
The Oakland All-American Six.
with a new and larger engine, longer
wheel case and many other improve
mcnts including the "a~nti-knock
G-M-R cylinder head has contributed
further 70 the compsny's success.
Another feature on the Oakland AL
American Six il the gasoline pump
which replaces the conventional
vacuu mtank.
Both the G-M-R cylinder head and
tke fuel pump proved 50 eiIeetlve
upon the All-American Oakland six
that they were included on the New
Series Pontiac Six introduced at the
automobile shows early in the year
The Pontiac Six also adopted four
wheel brakes and other mechanical
Announcements such as ~crankcase ven
filation. improved carburetion and
manifolding, new clutch and steering
assembly. The higher compression
made possible BY the new cylinder
head and highly perfected cafbu-
retion has greatly increased the
nower Of the New Series Pontiac
without alteration Of piston disrlace-
ment.

The most radical improvement IN
TIE New Series Pontiac Six Is the
s'cross flow" radiator, controlled BY a
thermostatic unit which permits the
water 10 circulate only after II has
reached the temperature at which the
engine operates most satisfactorily.
As the name "cross flow" indicates.
the direction OF the water current IN
the radiator II horizontal instead Of
vertical Us II the case in ordinary
radiators. The hit water is pumped
from the engine into a tank az one
side Of the 3ss-inch core, flows across
70 "A cool water tank on the opposite
side Of the core and from there is re-
turned TO the engine.
The most important advantage az
forded BY this new system Is the
practical elimination of evaporation
Even alcohol ard other volatile anti
freeze fluids are retained IN the
cooling system with a surprisingly
small loss. This "a due to the fact
that the hot water and vaporized
water or alcohol coming from the en-
CINE pas through completely closed
passages which leave no access 70 the
outside air. The hot water tank is
not connected with the radiator fill
inr cap from which the conventional
radiation systems often permit vapor
20 escape. Instead the "cross-flow"
system forces the hor water and any
accompanying vapoFs completely
across the full width Ct the radiator
core. cooling and ~condensing the
vapors which thus return TO fluid
state before reaching the cool water
tank on the opposite side Of the core.
This water tank extends up along
the side snd across the top Of the
core 70 the filing cap. incidentally
the core Of the new "cross-flown radi-
ator is made Of copper instead OF
brass.
Soon after the "cross-slow' had
proved its superiority on the New
Series Pontiac Six, the same type Of
radiator was installed on the Oakland
Ali-American Six. All models Of
both lines Of cars now carry this i'm
portant development.
The mechanical merits of the long.
lived Oakland and Pontiac and chas-
Ais are matched in the beauty and
comfort of the modish. low-swunr
Fisher bodies which CLEAN in smart
fhree-tone tints behind their high
narrowed radiators.
