 Style changes mark the new mod els as distinctly different in ex- terior appearance. The long, low contours of the body sweep back from Q new modern radiator grille, distinguished by rows of bright chromium bars on both sides of a center section of vertical bars fin- ished in the same color as the body.
 The characteristic Plymouth sail- ing ship emblem has been enclosed in 0 tear-drop outline. The same design is carried out in hood louvre decorations and headlamp lines. A larger windshield slopes back ct c more acute angle, cutting down wind resistance. The rear body panels taper from the arched roof and are rounded from fender to fender.
 Styled to emphasize smart streamlining, the new model looks bigger and more massive than It's predecessors. The car has been lowered one inch in overall height with the center of gravity closer to the ground. Three Business" and seven Deluxe body types, oil on i13-inch wheelbases, make up the Plymouth line for i036.
 Interiors have been redeSigned to allow four and one-half inches more passenger space from front to rear, and about two inches more elbow and shoulder room. The safety-steel body, reinforced by ad. ditionai strength is insulated from the frame with sound-deadenina rubber.
 The frame, backbone" of the car, has been completely redeSigned Tests show 1t to be twice as re- sistant to twisting forces as previous production frames. As c result of experience with Airhow design, Plymouth engineers have perfected c new kind of "shockless' steering as an added comfort feature.
 Bright new shades and patterns are used in the upholstery and trim. Doors are embossed with ver- tical lines matching the pleats of the seat cushions. The front seats of the Deluxe two.door sedan mod els are no longer bucket-type seats, common to such models. They now extend the full width of the car, allowing accommodation for three persons in the front seat. The in- strument panel has been simplified with the placing of all instruments within the face of c large, airplafle- type speedometer. :.
 Arm rests on the new models At into the sides of the car, adding extra elbow and shoulder room. Tn the Deluxe sedAns, ashtrays have been inserted in the forward ends of the arm rests. Plymouth retains its simplihed ventilation system, ex- cept that In Deluxe four.door Se- dans, the rear quarter windows now swing out to draw air out of the car at the rear. They are operated by c simple friction lever which eliminates bulky mechanism in the side panel.
 outside rail and cross -members of the rigid-x girder steel frame have been increased in depth from five to five and one-half inches, The oss-rf1ember intersection, nu- cieus of the frame, has been made into 0 single unit. New develop ments in metal shaping and new welding practices made possible the strengthening of Plymouth's Safety- steel body as well as construction of the new type frame. The body fits down over the frame to form one integral unit.
 The 1886 Plymouth body is cush- toned on rubber for the first time. Composition rubber shims arc placed between the body and frame to insulate the body against road noises. Body rumble is eliminated even on cobble-Stone pavements. There are more than 400 rubber parts, 50 pounds of rubber, in the new car.
 A new system of headlighting, incorporated in the 1886 model as "safe Vision" lighting, reduces headlight glare and provides more penetrating beams for driving through fog and rain. The head lights have two beams, an upper beam for clear road driving and a lower beam for meeting other cars. The non-glare feature is incorpo- rated in the lower beam which de- fleets the light not only down, but to the right, out of oncoming driv- ers' eyes and on the right side of the curb line.
 Like 100000 plymouths before them, the le36 models have self eQualizing hydraulic brakes with both shoes at each wheel hydraulic ally actuated. Centrifuse brake drums, combining the strength of steel with the ideal braking quail ities of cast iron, add to the safety of the braking system. Stepped wheel cylinders are designed to cut brake lining wear to a minimum. Plymouth's balanced-weight, syn- chronized-spring- g-action ride, intro duced in the iow-prlce field thtE year, has been improved materially for the 1886 model. As Q result of experience with Airfiow design.
