BIC BODIES

Spaciousness and riding com.
fort are two important points
most frequently stressed by the
motorist in his selection of an
automobile.
In developing the new Auburn
8100 and 12-160 lines, engi-
neers laid great emphasis on these
essential features, striving to es-
tablish a new standard of roomi-
ness and comfort for motor cars
of comparable price.
Construction of a deep, roomy

frame on which all Auburn cars
are built. In addition to provid.
ing extreme rigidity, this frame
allowed engineers to design Q

TRANSMISSION
CHANGED IN
CHEVROLET

Heralded as "The Great Amer
ican Value for 1882" the new
Chevrolet appears at the automo-
bile show this year with more ex-
tensive changes in design than
any annual Chevrolet model since
the car was changed from -FOUR 10
six cylinders in 1928. !!
Oferring silent Syncromesh
transmission in combination with
selective free wheeling, a 20 per
cent increase in power, top speed
Of 65 to 10 miles an hour, stream
lined bodies and q wealth of other
features, the new car remains In
the lowest price range at which a
Chevrolet has ever sold.
IL Body Styles
Twelve standard body styles
are in the line this year, three
open and nine closed Fisher
bodies, all in new Duco color com
binationS and all with smart new
features. In addition, eight mod
els also are available with de luxe
equipment, making possible indi-
viduality Of ownership and provid'
ing selection from 20 different
types.
Practically every proven automo'
tive feature Of recent years is in.
corporated in the new 1882 Chev'
rolet, as we'll as a new stabilized"
front end construction embodied
for the first time in any car. I'M
provements in the 80 line over
last years models include down
draft carburetion, counter-bal
anced crankshaft, smaller wheels
and larger tires, radically changed
front end appearance, finger
touch" front seat adjustment, cowl
ventilator on all models, hood
doors instead of louvres, improved
clutch and an additional cross
member in the frame.
New Transmission
Of the mechanical changes, the
most important is the new Chevro.
let-built transmission unit, which
combines syncromesh with simpli-
fled free wheeling as standard
equipment at no extra cost. Free
wheeling is provided by an over,
running clutch, engaged at the
discretion of the driver by a con.
troll button on the instrument
panel.

6 MILLION GOES
PLANNING NEW
CAD|LLACS

An indication of the range. and
Importance Of the engineering ad.
vancements shown in the new
Cadillac-La Sale line, on exhibi,
ton at the automobile show, can
be had from the statement of
Lawrence P. Fisher, president of
the Cadillac Motor Car Company
to the effect that over six million
dollars was spent on the engineer
ing and production of these new
cars.
All four lines are available this
year in two wheel-base lengths
as follows: LaSalle V-8, 100 and
1876 inches: Cadillac V-8 and Cadi-
lac Viz, 1874 and 140 inches, and
the Cadillac V-16, 143 and l49
inches. There is also a choice of
the standard compression ratio or
an optional compression ratio on
all four cars.
There is an unusually wide
range Of body styles. LaSalle is
offered in a choice of seven beau
tiful Fisher bodies; the Cadillac
V-8 presents 13 bodies by Fisher
and seven Fleetwood bodies; the
VIZ also is available with a
choice of seven Fleetwood and 13
Fisher bodies, and the magnifi-
cent Cadillac V-16 can be Sc.
lected from one of seven Fleet
wood and eight Fisher bodies.
Particularly impressive among
the many changes and refine
ments shown on the Cadillac-La
Sale line, this yea, is the presen-
tation of the triple-silent syncro-
mesh transmission, also a full
range ride regulator, controlled
free-wheeling, six-point rubber
cushioned engine suspension, the
super-Safe fivesbeam headlamp
control on the Cadillac, fixed
a d ju tment compression-type
spring Shackles, cast molybdenum
safety brakes, exclusive Cadillac
no-fleX frames and air cooled
fuel lines and generator.
On the Cadillac V-8 and the
La Sale more than IS per cent
increase in horsepower has been
achieved through improved mani
! folding, new carburetors and
changes in the fuel intake and
distribution syste:n.
All cars throughout the four
lines are considerably lower, the
reduction in height ranging from
one to three inches. At the same
time the interior mead room has
been increased.

Auto Export Total

Coupled with the Canadian au-

rels of gasoline, 6S6,O0O,OOO pouns

NEW DESIGN IS
=. FEATURE Of
HUPNOBILE :

Hupmobile enters the 1892 auto
show with two skies and five
eights, making its bid for popu-
larity through new design, strik'
ing appearance and mechanical
innovation.
In appearance the new six and
eight cylinder cars are outstand.
ing and the Series 216, 222 and
226 are entirely divorced from
conventional design and construc-
tion. They are fundamentally
new, and were planned, designed
and executed without reference
to any existing standard other
than Hupmobile's own conception
of quality. Their chief interest,
however, lies not alone in out
ward appearance and interior fit
mentS-for innovation follows in
novation in mechanical design
and construction.
Hupmobile presents in its new
cars a varied treatment of the
present flair TO- v type radiators.
The common rounding and slop-
ing radiator shell has been re-
placed by a striking perpendicu-
lar radiator which gives the ap-
pearance of maSSiveneSs. Inbuilt
grilles feature the front end
which flows easily and gracefully
into unusual body lines. A new
type of double bar bumpers of
distinctive design is feature,
while a distinctive original chro-
MUM radiator ornament in the
eightS offer a new note with
a circle in which is mounted a
barb to form the cross bar Of the
letter H.
The sloping front corner posts
as well as the rear hood lines
which corresponds in ongularity.
are appearance factors which are
enhanced by the wide front doors
opening at the forward edge.
The belt molding on all cars adds
to car length while unusual low
ness is achieved through new
construction which gives total
overall height (to the Sedan), of
five feet six inches from the
street with normal load. Despite
its lowness, headroom has not
been sacrificed. Contributing to
this modern styling are the new
form-fitting tenders, safety steel
runningboards and new sheet
metal tailoring.
Neither front or rear tenders

board thus eliminating rattles

prevents rust accumulation. Both
tenders are attached to the run
ningboards by bolts which pass
through heavy rubber insulating
blocks. All tenders have a new
feature exclusive with Hupmobile.
The edges are turned under. elm
mating the necessity of the old
style wire-reinforced edge, yet
providing greater strength.
In the new eight-cylinder series
222 and 226 Hupmobile introduces
an entirely new sport body model
the cabriolet roadster. In this
model, featuring distinctly new
lines, the top collapSes to dis
appear within a specially con-
structed compartment at the
back of the seat. Windows may
be raised regardless of top posi-
ton, while the windshield folds
flat to the hood to provide an air
of sophisticated speed. The long
hood and smartly contoured rear
deck further carry out this sug-
gestion of fleet performance.

CONGRESS TO HONOR
MARY WASHINGTON
Homage to Be Paid at Grave of
First Presidents Mother
in Fredericksburg.

George Washington's mother. whom
history says he referred to as the most
beautiful woman I ever saw" will be
honored appropriately on the 20Oth
anniversary Of her sons birth, when q
committee Of Congress will lay simple
evergreen design at the base of the
shaft that marks her grave In Fred
ericksburg, Va, tomorrow morning.
A unanimously adopted resolution
authorized the tribute which the
branches of Congress have not con-
ferred since Woodrow Wilson died and
was entombed in Washington Cathedral
in 1924.
Women Of Fredericksburg, where
Mary Ball Washington was living when
her son became President, planned the
religious services in which the Con-
gressional Committee will participate.
They asked Congress to join in their
exercises and Representative S. Otis
Bland. 1ather of the Yorktown Sesqui

measure by which Congress acted.

Presidents mother was born, lived her
entire life and died, was chosen by
