Lincoln

Both OF the new Lincoln cars Tor
1884 are powered by 12-cylinder V-type
engines developing $50 horsepower.
Eight standard body types are found on
the 136-inch wheelbase chassis, while
there are three standard and ten GUS
tom body types on the 145-inch chassis.
With its 12-cylinder performance the
V12-136 series makes a direct appeal to
owners in the middle price field, start
ing from $4,000. The Vl2-145 cars are
priced from $4,000 and feature custom
bodies by such world-famous coach
makers as Judkins, Willoughby, Brunn,
Dietrich and LIE Baron.
Each series Is low and sleek in ap-
pearance, length being accentuated by
treatment of the radiator shell, which
now is finished in the body color. All
models are equipped with controlled
clear-vision ventilating system. All
doors and quarter-window glass levers
raise the glasses to the closed position
and slide them backward little by q
slight additional turn Air Is drawn
into the car at the front and Is ex-
hausted from the interior, providing
series an additional ventilator is built
into the dome light.
Among the many mechanical refine
ments in these luxurious new Lncolns
is placing of the lever for adjustment
of the vacuum brake booster on the
steering column. A new single plate
clutch with lighter pedal action is pro-
vided, while an improved steering
mechanism gives greater ease Of con-
troll Shock abSorbers are fitted with
oilless bearings and rubber
connecting links. Increased engine
power and f1exibility are due to in
creased bore, compression pressure Of
1872 pounds per square inch, oil tenn
perature regulation, polished aluminium
cylinder heads, oxidized aluminium alloy
pistons and a newly designed crank
shaft with additional center counter
balance.
Motor performance has been further
improved through the use Of dual
downdraft carburetion, IS per cent
greater radiator cooling capacity and
Enthusiastically controlled radiator shut
tiers and hood side doors. Excepting
the rear main bearing all main and
connecting rod bearings are Of the
heavy-duty airplane type, being con-
structed Of copper and lead with steel
backing sufficient to Withstand tenn
peratures as high as $50 degrees.

ef motor. Advanced Eight, on 121-1nch
wheelbase, and Ambassador Eight, on
133-inch wheelbase. carry 100 and 125
horsepower motors, respectively. All
engines are Of traditional valve-in-head
Nash design.
Draftless and noiseless ventilation is
another outstanding feature of the new
ing the glass or obstructing vision, air
vents" provide complete ventilation
without wind whistle. Rear quarter
windows pivot to direct air now in any
volume desired, while supplementary
windshield wings are used ahead Of the
front door windows. Positive dual wind
shield wtpers, gear driven from the
motor. contribute to the all-weather
adaptability Of these new Nash models.
The most novel development offered
by Nash is co-incidental clutch start
ing. To get away in the new Nash
the driver turns on the ignition key
depresses the clutch pedal and puts the
car In gear. Declutching, to engage
the gears for putting the car In motion,
starts the motor. The double-acting
hydraulic shock absorbers are auto
matically controlled for temperature
changes. All Ambassador Fights are
equipped with automatic chassis lubrt-
cation. Worm drive Is used on this
series, but spiral bevel drive Is employed
in the Advanced Eight and Big Six
Oilless rubber universal Joints are q
feature of all three series.
Ultra modern streamlining of the
Nash cars for 1884 Is especially notice.

radiator shell and grille suggests the
kreater capability of this favorite. The
fhange in the frontal plane seems to
have altered the cars entire appear
ance, Just as the addition of downdraft
tarburetion changes performance by an
approximate power increase OF IL per
Dent.
Unique on the Ford is the ventilation
tystem for closed models. The glass IN
the front door and rear windows is
made to slide back as far an an inch
IN the front and two inches In the rear.
When the window Is fully raised and
the crank is turned little further the
glass slides back, making vertical
opening to serve as means OF ex-
hauSting air from inside the car. En-
tirely new is the Victoria model which
has a built-in luggage compartment
end increased overall length.
Body colors are being used on the
lenders of all de luxe models in the
Ford line. Numerous refinements are
found in body interiors, including
deeply cushioned individual bucket
eeats for driver and front passenger in
the tudor sedan. Both standard and
de luxe cars have garnish holdings.
On the latter line arm rests are pro-
fided on all doors. To protect passen-
doors it is now necessary to raise the
handle rather than depress it.
A gain in fuel economy Of from two
10 three more miles per gallan has been
obtained as result of dual downdraft
carburetion. Where this system is de-
eired new fuel pump of the lever
erm type is provided. A limited num-
per of cars will be equipped with self
feeding carburetor used with the pres
ent type of single manifold. No fuel
pump Is used with this carpuretor, the
objective being utmost simplicity. New
piston rings, modification in the pistons
end the use of battle plates over the OIL
feturn holes in the valve chamber have
improved oil economy. Easier starting
provided through two thermostats

the unusual touches is the offering Of
an adjustable rear as well as front seat
Frame, clutch and steering gear have
come In for important changes. Be-
cause Of its powerful braking system
Pierce Is able to retain free wheeling.
More moderately priced because 1t Is
in regular production, the Silver Arrow
is expected to make an appeal to the
sportsman. 1t is scientifically correct
yet beautifully streamlined. Other
Pierce bodies for 1884 are less con-
servative than formerly, although re-
tained Is the distinctive mounting Of
the headlights on the tenders. Pierce
lighting Is such that a much wider path
of illumination Is provided.

inch wheelbase and q straight-eight
on the 127-inch wheelbase, the Hupp
Motor Car Corporation enters the low
priced field with new six on q IT.
inch wheelbase. The motor of the new
six develops 80 horsepower from a dis
placement of only 224 cubic inches and
standard compression ratio of So to
/. Standard rear axle ratio of 4363 to
is provided. but an optional ratio Of
AZ to / Is available at no extra cost.
As on the larger cars. Hupp features
"co-ordinated suspension" in which
front and rear springs, including a sta
biliZing device at both ends of the
chassis, contribute toward q balanced
ride. This involves use Of side
sway eliminator, successfully introduced
by Hupp in its larger models last year.
Extra f1exibility, required in the springs
for a soft ride. is made practical by
means OF the check or roll or side
sway which this device provides.
Hupmobile steering gears are Of the
roller follower type. The front axle Is
Of the reverse Elliott knuckle type and
is tubular. Hupmobile continues with
mechanical brakes. Nodded Innings and
11-inch drums are used on the new six
The larger six in the Hupp line for
1884 develops SO horsepower at 3,4OO
rpm, while the new eight produces
lis horsepower at $500 rpm. On
both cars aluminium alloy pistons are
useo, while engine mountings provide
APPOINT suspension. Lower pedal
pressure is provided in the improved
clutch. Bodies on these cars are prac-
tically all-steel and ventilation is pro-
vtded by new system whereby the
glass of the front windows can be
made to slide back to leave q venti.
lating slot when the crank handle is
given an extra turn.
One of the features Of the aerody-
manic bodies on the new Hupmobiles
is their high degree Of visibility The
windshield is much wider and is
brought back close to the steering
wheel to give the driver greater range
OF vision vertically. The entire road
behind is visible from the drivers sea,
by reason Of reduction in the num-
ber Of pillars and the use Of two win
dows in the back.

closer to the front door pillar at the
kides, while the running boards are ntted
with nodded rubber covers. Without
discarding the highly advanced lines IN
troduced by Graham two years ago the
new bodies incorporate many appealing
changes. Interiors have been made un.
usually attractive by the addition OF
ivory colored steering wheels on the de
luxe six and on both eights. A new
perforated type of rear curtain Is also
used.

pins and fabrication, each employs super
charging and air cooling The "12"
motor is of the V-type and develops 15O-
horsepower: The Olympic uses the air
cooled 100-horsepower motor of the Air
man.

delivering blast Of air at a speed of
l10 miles per hour over the cylinders of
the Franklin motors is keyed directly to
the crankshaft. delivering air in direct
proportion to engine speed. Warm air

weather dash and floor remain cool
Some Of the air that is under pressure
from this turbine fan IS utilized for
forcing the charged gas mixture into

Other improvements in the Franklin
fine include temperature control of oil

ble-bore type cylinders. The Olympic
how features combination K and box
type frame, silent "U" spring shackles
with kick shackle, needle bearing uni
versals, integral free-wheel unit and six
point support for the power plant.
Franklin is stressing the point that
Its time honored use of full-elliptic
springs not only provides for independ-
ent wheel movement, but also makes
St possible to absorb shock in all direc-
tions. This action is on all four wheels
bnd not merely in the front Of the car.
FRANKLIN also points to the fact that the
present trend toward sloping hoods Is
reminiscent Of Its earlier exploitation OF
this streamlining principle which dates
from the French School Of Design at
Neuilly.
