PACKARD

Packard produces for 1888 three Sc
rieS of cars, on five different wheel
bases, comprising Al body types, as well
as custom models. The lines are the
eight, the supereight and the twelve,
with the first developing 100 horse
power, the next 145 horsepower and the
twelve 160 horsepower
All models use dual carburetion, for
which is claimed the advantage of both
up and down draft methods. The new
cars also incorporate an automatic
choking device, which, in addition to
choking to the proper degree for start
ing. also adjusts the throttle for the
Warming-up period and closes it to
idling position after the car is warm.
Four different degrees of braking ac-
ton can be obtained by the new brak-
ing system. which has the feature of
holding the car against sWerving as
the brakes take hold Adoption of
ventilating system for the closed cars
is the main feature of the body changes
Each passenger may change the ventila-
ton to suit his wishes, and complete
ventilation is claimed under all weather
conditions. Front and rear windows are
hinged and split in such manner as to
scoop the air into the compartment or
let it out. For this arrangement also is
claimed the advantage of keeping out
frost in cold weather and also permit
ting easier Misunderstanding A new
clutch with smoother arrangement has
been added and automatic clutch oper-
ation also may be had Motor noise
and vibration is minimized by a new
engine mounting. The new frame is
more rigid and shock absorber action
has been improved. Automatic chassis
fabrication marks the line.

PIERCE-ARROW

Every popular model of motor car is
offered in the 1888 Pierce-Arrow line,
in four groups and 40 models powered
by and II cylinder engines Added
to its regular lines the Pierce-Ar-
row company brings the new Silver
Arrow. car which embodies a radical
streamline design. These cars, priced
at $4,000, of with only a few are be-
ing built, are claimed to turn up lis
miles an hour with their 12-cylinder,
horsepower engines. The new auto
the car to apply braking power. 1t is
claimed the foot pedal operates as cas-
ilv as the ordinary accelerator pedal.
The new brake Is built to bridge the
gap between increasing engine power
and the forces needed to decelerate q
moving car. Pierce-Arrow also utilizes
the hydraulic brake litter, which Is
supposed to eliminate the need for
valve adjustment and insure quiet ac-
ton. The automatic litter works on a
cushion Of oil hydraulically controlled.
For this device, perfect valve action
throughout the life of the engine is
claimed. Two years ago Pierce-Arrow
introduced automatic heat control to
regulate temperature Of the intake rliy-
tllre. This has been retained and also
Is added an automatic choke to me-
chanically regulate the starting mix
ture. The first group of the line COM
prises eight-cylinder cars Of 135-horse-
power on 1856 and 139-inch wheelbase.
The second model is a twelve with a
160-horsepower engine on chassis of
1876 and 139 inches. The two other
models have 175-horsepower engines
and are on chassis Of 142 and lat
inches. The cars outwardly retain
P1erce-Arrow characteristics, but have
been streamlined to meet 1888 design.
Fender headlamps, distinguishing mark
Of the line, have been blended into the
fender crowns.

OLDSMOBILE

Larger, roomier, more powerful and
speedy, Oldsmobile also has considera-
bly, changed its body lines for 1888.
The new cars are marked by wind
stream" lines which flow from the
sloping radiator grill to slip-stream
back. On the eight the radiator grill
is of chromium bars and the shell is
lacquered to the color of the bodies.
Deeply skirted front tenders curve down
to the running board level and the
water filler cap has been placed under
the hood. Windshield and pillars slant
backward, doors extend down to the
running board and the roof line has
been sloped. New devices include auto
matte choke, automatic spark, auto
matte water-temperature control and
carburetor heater.
Oldsmobile bodies are Of composite
wood and steel construction and have
shatter-proof windshields The engine
of the six turns up 80 horsepower and
that of the eight runs up to 80 horse
power. Increased power and greater
engine efficiency are obtained by i'm
proved carburetion and other changes.
The engine now Is mounted at three
points on rubber cushions, helping to
minimize vibration. Braking is softer
and smoother.
Both lines come in five-passenger
sedan, five passenger touring sedan,
flve-passenger touring coupe. business
coupe, while in the siX-Cylinder line
there also is a f1ve-passenger coupe.

PLYMOUTH

Four body styles are shown in the
new Plymouth six, on wheelbase of 107
inches. New models have sloping radi-
ators, deep and wide tenders conceal
ing the chassis and a rear-end design
which blends into the body and hides
the gas tank. A more nearly vertical
steering wheel makes the driving posi-
ton more comfortable. The engine,
which Is mounted in rubber at two
points, is said to turn up 70 horsepower,
and new choke arrangement is used
with a secondary valve which allows
air to flow into the carburetor as soon
as the motor fires. The throttle is
connected with the starter pedal to
give smoother engine getaway Free
wheeling and an automatic clutch are
used. both of which may be operated
independently of the other. A thermal
control is on the manifold allowing the
exhaust gases to heat the mixture when
the engine is cold and stopping the
flow of heat when the engine heats up.
Special exhaust-valve seats of tung-
Sten-chrome alloy are used to overcome
the heat Of exhaust flame. The new
frame is said to be stronger. although
lighter in weight, and floating power"
with the engine mounted in rubber. is
continued. Front seats are adjustable
in all models. Non-shatterable safety
glass in the windshield is standard, and
doors may be locked from the inside Of
the car.

lines are continued, embodying new
Improvements. The eights develop Sc
and 109-horsepower for the 122 and
126-inch wheelblase series.
All bodies are OF aerodynamic lines,
with long hoods, slanting radiators
and narrow cowls. A feature of the
1888 cars is a side-sway eliminator.
which consists of a spring steel bar
resisting the motion between rear axle
and frame. Curves may be rounded at
high speed without appreciable body
sway. Automatic shock absorber regu-
lation is feature, and the chassis is
more rigid and strong, without having
added weight. Hupmobila again uses
the torsional stabilizer used for the
engine last year and uses siX-point rub
be- engine mounting.
Power plants of the new eights have
been pepp2d up by enlarging the bore,
with motors supported at seven points
'Hup' again continues the oil tenpera-
ture regulator by which the Gil passes
over copper tubes and is cooled b.
water. Transmission provides silent

RoCKNE

The new Rockne, small product of
Studebaker, is said to be more powerful
and roomy than its 1882 predecessor,
with aerodynamic lines to give slip
stream" effect. The line includes all
the standard body types, in de luxe
and standard models. and also includes
a half-ton panel delivery truck. Auto
matte starting is standard on the cars,
with engines starting at the turn of
the ignition key, and re-starting If
stalled. An additional safety factor is
an anti-backfire device in the starting
switch circuit. Motors now develop 70
horsepower and are on four rubber sup
ports. Engine, clutch and transmission
are in one unit. The cylinder head has a
combustion chamber for high turbu-
lence to counteract spark knock. Pts
tons are cast iron, electro-plated for
tight fitting. The crankshaft Is bal

LA SALE

Seven Fisher bodies, on two wheel
base lengths, of 1870 and 1876 inches,
comprise the La Sale line for 1888
Streamlining is used to an extent never
before employed on this big car, with
the windshield sloping back and radia-
tor shell, tenders and rear-end blend
ing into one contour. La Sale uses a
brake assister, which enables full brake
power to be used by light foot appli-
cation. Another feature is a rainproof
cowl ventilator. which is declared to
keep the car efficiently ventilated under
all weather conditions. Water and in
Sects in the cowl are caught by de-
Electors. All the advancements found
in the new Cadillac line such as mo-
draft" ventilation, improved synchro-
mesh transmission and efficient ride
regulator, are found in the La Sale.
Pi5tcns have been changed, with
three compression rings and one Gil
ring above and below the wrist-pin,
fer which greater oil economy is
claimed The improved fender tie rcd
is anchored at both ends. making the
front assembly rigid unit to eliminate
Or minimize fender vibration in rough
spots, Riding comfort is aided by a
special type of spring and spring
shackle, with the semi-elliptic type Of
suspension being used. Side-play and
resultant noise is said to be n1inimized
by this new shackle.

The company places special emphasis
on the Commander series. Generally
the new models follow aero-dynamic
lines, with radiators sloping at
sharper angle, tenders blending into the
radiator apron and sweeping low over
the front wheels to hide the underparts
Of the car. A graceful curve has been
given the runningboards and the rear
end is of concave design, with an ex-
tension whish covers rear springs and
shackles. The wheel size has been re-
duced from 18 to II inches which
means q lowered center of gravity for
greater safety. The gasoline spout
emerges from the left fender and safety
glass is provided in all windows.
The new uto-thermic" control, 1t is
said, relieves the driver of responsibility
for adjusting the fuel mixture and as
sures instant starting and operating ef-
flciency. The car starts with turn
