lamp. The splash guard which for
merly extended horizontally from
the bottom of the radiator now
drops away vertically in the con-
ventional manner.
Front tenders have been raised
slightly at the forward end to ach-
ieve lighter and finer appearance,
and the sweep of the rear tenders
has been made more pronounced.
The hood is longer, with high
er crown in the upper panels. The
side hood hinges have been raised
to coincide with the body holding,
and this molding is continued on
through the hood at the hinge line,
the molding being so designed that
it conceals the hinges. There are
more hood louvres this year, gr-
ouped on raised panel toward the
rear of the hood.
The new Fisher bodies all have
a raised line to emphasize the low
appearance of the car achieved by
the deeper side body panels, with
their slight outward bulge. Roof
lines are improved by streamlining
and by an increase in crown at the
front.
An outstanding feature of the
new bodies is the better vision
made possible from the drivers
seat by slightly lowering the seat
and raising the header bar which
runs across the top Of the wind
shield. A further aid to clear vision
for the driver is the new narrow
stamped pillar at the ends of the
windshield, which arguments the
safety provisions of the car.
All body mouldings are pressed
integral with the body panels, thus
eliminating all separately applied
molding with their consequent diff
ficulties. The drip molding also is
pressed integral with the roof pam
els. This method of construction
eliminates the inevitable rust
streaks which result when the
molding is separately applied be-
cause the paint chips off at the
connecting line.
The running board is longer and
narrower at the front end. The run
ming board aprons follow the con-
tour of the body and appear to be
a continuation of it. Corrugated
rubber nodded in position and ex-
tended over the rounded outside
edges covers the pressed steel rum
ming board, and narrow chrome
plated molding covers all exposed
edges.
An improved rear end appear
ance is achieved by newly de-
signed panel concealing the rear
cross member and the gas tank.
The black enameled panel is set off
by a large chrome plated filler
cap on the tank. The combination
rear lamp-andstop-light is mount
ed ON the left fender instead of the
tire carrier as formerly, and the
license plate is attached to a cross
bar mounted just below the lamp
bracket.
The interiors Of all bodies have
been redesigned to take full advan-
tage of the extra roominess pre-
videde by the two-inch increase
in wheelbase. The result is a "big
car" effect in the interior, just as
the added sweep to the exterior
body lines creates the impression
Of considerably larger car than
last year.
Such fine car features as assist
cord, ash receivers, arm rests and
silk roller curtains harmonizing
with the interior trimmings may
be found in various models in the
line. All sport models have a lar
ger rear deck to add comfort of
the rumble seat passengers. The
coach has compartment for tools
beneath the front floor to avoid |
the rear seat passen-
gers. All closed models have the |
slanted non-glare windshield, the
drivers seat and other
features which have made Body |
by Fisher the hallmark of quality
n the fine car field. Mohair or
oroadcloth trimming is optional
With all closed models.
All body hardware is newly de-
signed, narrower and heater in APP
3earance. Chrome plate finishes
he exterior hardware and nickel
1late the interior. All rear doors
md the left front door are locked
his year simply by lifting the door
handles instead of by swapping
separate lever.
The drivers compartment offers
extensive changes from last years
ar. instruments are symetrically
grouped on a panel set off by a
aised head. Control buttons are

inc rim on their faces. The steer
ng wheel is three-spoke instead of
our, affording better vision Of the
instrument panel, and the wheel is
made Of hard rubber nodded on a
