NEW YORK. Jan. 9.--Graham-
Paige marks the beginning of its
second year with the presentation,
at the New York automobile snow,
Of a line comprising five chassis
models. including a new 123-horse
power. eight-cylinder car Of 1877
inch wheelbase to sell at a popular
price The entire line of three six
cylinder cars and two Fights dis
plays distinguished body styles and
numerous mechanical improvements
Of advanced design.
Prices of the five chassis models
have not been announced.
In general, all Graham-Paige
chassis are Of longer wheelbase and
increased power, with superior hexi-
bility and smoothness attained by
poWer-plant refinements. Hydrau-
lie shock absorbers and internal
(hydraulic) brakes are regular
equipment on all models. A note
worthy feature of the largest six
and both Fights is centralized chas-
sis fabrication. All cars except the
smallest six have the Graham Paige
four-speed transmission, with two
high speeds, direct and semi-direct.
New Note in Appearance
On the smaller two skies are
bodies Of original design striking a
new note in appearance, while all
bodies reveal many new features of
trim and finish.
Particularly notable among body
features is the exclusive treatment
of the moulding on the 612 and the
6l5. The hood moulding, running
back from the radiator shell, sweeps
into a curve and springs up at the
front corner post, continuing in a
graceful line to serve as a supporter
for the visor.
The result is an unusually good
looking effect at the front of the
body enclosure. Another innovation
is the strikingly original appearance
attained by the harmonious treat
ment of radiator, visor and roof
lines.
The front of the roof, over the
visor is moulded to carry out the
same effect. The visor and roof
thus combine to harmonic with
the flattened V-shape radiator, CIV
ing the car an aspect suggesting
grace and fleetness.
Still another innovation is the roof
treatment at the rear. Top and
back intersect to form a curved line
across the rear of the body. adding
a high-light where in the usual
practice there is only rounded sur
face.
Reflect Lates Modes
In general, all models reflect the
latest modes in design and trim.
TT If appearance is enhanced by the
use of one piece crowned tenders of
graceful sweeping contour. Radiators
are of greater depth, and there are
new style head-lamps, matched by
Cowl lamps mounted on a cowl band,
all chromium plated. Narrow vertical
louvres, set back from the radiator
line, add greatly to the apparent
length of the hoods.
Throughout the line, the bodies
reveal careful effort to meet the de-
mand for comfort, appearance, and
durability. Spaciousness is con-
sistently attained in all models.
The smaller cars show the same
painstaking attention to comfort,
convenience, and looks as the larger
cars. For instance, the upholstery
material of the smallest model is
mohair, and the body has touch
of luxury usually associated with
cestlier cars, being fitted with arm
rests with inset receptacles contain
ing a notebook and mirror.
