Original Effects in Body Design
Particularly notable among body
features j. the exclusive treatment
OF the moulding on the 6l2 aud the

back from the radiator she'll, sweeps
into a curve and springs up az the

innovation is the strikingly original
appearance attained by the harmoni-

Still another innovation Is the
roof treatment At the rear. Top and
back intersect to form a curved line
across the rear or the body. adding
a high-light where in the usual
practice there is only a rounded sur-
