Graham, on exhibition for the
first time at the Automobile Show.
The rotor, at 5000 rpm, draws
air through the carburetor and
packs it into the cylinders. Re
suit, 13S h.p. instead Of 100. Add
ing 35 per cent more power to
an already good performer ought
to work wonders. There's an
eight without the Supercharger; it
has 6.7 to / compression ratio, in
creased bore, more power. The
six Is all new, engine and every
thing. All interiors are worth
noting-especially the instrument
grouping.
1884 HUDSON-TERRAPLANE-l
You can choose at the Auto Show
from 33 models Of the two Terra
planes and the two HudSons. This
year, that notable performer, the
Terraplane, has an even greater
power-to-weight ratio; the horse
power Is 80 standard, or 85 in de-
luxe models with aluminium heads.
Axleflex front suspension is op-
tional on all cars; it comprises an
articulated front axle and conven-
tional Springing. All models are
longer, roomier; tenders are more
massive, deeper. Numerous new
control features for choke, idling,
starting, etc., appear. Tr1-beam
headlights. trumen t dials
grouped in front Of the driver.
1884 HUPMOBILE-Radical de-
partures from conventional body
designs are shown at the Auto
Show by Hupmobile, whi C h
catches up with the field this
year and steps out in advance
in some aspects. Ultra-modern
is the word for it. Look at the
headlights-the lens forming the
base of a long conical housing
that dwindles back into the body.
Wide doors that are wide; some
rear doors so wide that in rear
quarter window is eliminated.
Both skies and eights are Of
fered, 121 and 127-inch wheel
base. All models have the side
away eliminator, pioneered by
Hupp last year, widely adopted
by others this year.
1884 LAFAYETTE-Th lie only
new name in the Auto Show ex-
hibit is Lafayette. Nash offers
it, through Nash, dealers exclu-
sively. It enters the low-price
field, offering IS h. p, a sturdy
chassis, and attractive bodies. Not
many tricks and gadgetS, but
plenty Of valuable features-such
as a seYen-bearing counterweighted
crank shaft, full pressure lubrica-
tion that takes in the piston pins,
synchronized gear shifting, and
dual-X frame. Motor is L-head.
Bodies by Seaman, on approved
modern lines; NaSh-type ventila-
ton. Axle-fleX suspension at extra
cost.
1884 LASALLE-The most start
ling LaSalle at the Auto Show is
a low price, far below any pre-
vious models, were it not for the
fact that its designers have gone
even farther in producing a
startling styled car replete with
marked departures from anything
heretofore known in the industry.
OF all General Motors products,
these Cadillac built IIaSalles have
gone farthest in streamlining. All
bodies are by Fleetwood. Same
knee action as used in Cadillac.
Brakes are hydraulic. Anti-roll
stabilizer is used.
1884 LINCOLN-The two V-12's
at the Auto Show maintain Lin
coins traditional place in the fine
car field. The 136-inch chassis
offers eight standard body types;
the 145-inch model has three
standard and 10 custom bodies.
The engines, the same in both,
develop $50 horsepower. Body de-
signs have been refined and mod
ernized. Radiator shell, tenders
and chassis are treated in color
to match the body. Controlled ven
tilat1on is provided. Chassis fea-
lures include a large radiator,
thermostatic control Of hood
louvres and shutter; the engine
has polished aluminium cylinder
head, and oxidized surface alum
mum alloy pistons.
1884 NASH-The 1884 Nash at
the auto show exhibit strikes
new note in appearance-it was
intentionally designed to suggest
speed, not merely in line, but in
establishment. Speed lines are
