point Of efficiency.
PONTIAC

As one of the brand-new cars of
the year, the low-priced Pontiac six
Is expected to be a big feature in
the General Motors group. It is a
long, low-looking creation, mounted
on q 112-inch wheelbase, and Is avail
able in five body styles in standard
form and in two models as q de luxe
type. The new six takes its place
beside the improved eight in the Pom
tiac line.
Outstanding changes include the
new Fisher solid-steel "turret-top"
bodies, built-in luggage space, hy-
draulic brakes with double and triple
sealed drums, air-cooled generator
with voltage regulator, interchange
able main and connecting-rod bear
ings and silver alloy connecting
bearings. The Dubonnet inclosed
spring type of independent 'front.'
wheel suspension has been retained
with notifications for the de luxe six
and the eight. Moving the engine
forward over the front wheels, thereby
shifting more of the weight forward,
and mounting the front-wheel knees"
on new tubular cross member has
produced improved riding. A worm
and roller type Of steering gear, with
q IT'S to one ratio, produces what
Pontiac calls true course steering"

"A complete system OF sound-proo1-
ing Of body, chassis and motor, longer
wheelbase and the solid steel "turret
ton" mark the outstanding new fea-
tures of the 1885 Oldsmobiles which
appear in seven body models Tor the
six and an equal number Tor fhe eight.
Increased power through higher COM
preston and increased economy OF op-
Grafton by means of improved mani
folding and carburetion are features
Of the six, which now carries 90
horsepower motor, and the eight,
which has a horsepower motor.
The new top is constructed OF q
single sheet of seamless steel, not
only providing safety in itself, but
lending great strength and rigidity to
the entire body. Because 1t lends itself
to the streamlining treatment with
out breaking the sweep from the front
Of the body to the back, there is a
new beauty angle to the "turret top.
Both of the Oldsmobiles are advanced
in aerodynamic body design, the 1ront
being completely new with narrow and
higher radiator grilles, new radiator
ornaments and restyled louvres. Larg-
er doors, roomier bodies and WIDER
seats add to passenger comfort.
Oldsmobile retains knee-action
wheels, which give independent move
ment of the front wheels, coil-type
springs being used and center-point
steering featured. Both front and
rear ride stabilizers are used. Brakes
are of the self-energizing, super-hy-
draulic type, braking area being in
creased by IA per cent to assure more
powerful action and longer life to the
lining. All engines in the Oldsmobile
series have three-point suspension.
Transmissions offer silent shifting in
all gears.
In the six, which remains in the
low-priced field, counter-balancing OF
the crankshaft has been increased
from IS to IS per cent. Generators
are OF a new type designed to furnish
the extra current needed to supply the
new electrical devices used on today's
car.

PLYMOUTH

known as a high-sPeed safety car.
the 1885 Plymouth offers something
in high compression, a larger all-steel
body and a new type of front-wheel
suspension that insures what is aptly
termed a floating ride" Six body
types are presented, ranging in price
from S565 for the business coupe to
$685. for the de luxe touring sedan.
Contributing to the revolutionary
high compression performance is the
marked reduction in engine tempera-
ture. Full-length water jackets are
used and a new system of directed
water circulation through tube in
serted in the engine block adds to
this cooling efficiency. A stream Of
water, directed principally on the rear
cylinders, is said to keep the entire
engine at an even temperature. So
effective is the cooling efficiency Of
the new Plymouth that it has been
possible to jump the compression ratio
from So to 1, as on the 1884 model,
to ST. to /. Celebrated ignition,
new method Of automatic spark con-
troll utilizing intake vacuum, checks
the knock which usually accompanies
high compression.
Because the Plymouth engine and
body have been moved 51a inches for
ward a redistribution of weight not
only helps to provide the floating ride,
but to afford more passenger room.
The larger body now fits down over
the frame and is bolted to the latter
at 46 different points. Particular in
terest centers on the front end con-
struction, where tapered leaf springs,
two-way shock absorbers and a ride
stabilizer combine to provide type of
ride that is both safe and free from
bobbing and pitching. A unique
Chrysler development in the actual
construction of the springs is fea-
ture of the Plymouth.
Plymouth engineers have increased
the size of the rear brake pistons in
order to increase the pressure on the
rear brake shoes and to equalize brake
wear all around. The braking area
has also been increased to bring the

as had been predicted, but is mounted
on a 120-inch wheelbase, with large,
roomy bodies looking equally as at
tractive as the larger cars in the line.
and 1t is powered by a ITO horsepower
motor. The Packard 100" offers
new system of independent springing
of the front wheels, known as safe
T-flex": powerful hydraulic brakes
with the new ratio between front and
rear wheels, ride stabilizer and the
Packard angleset hypoid rear axle.
Because the torque arms of the new
springing system hold the king pins
in permanent alignment freedom from
all steering trouble is claimed for the
new Packard. Brakes are equipped
with dirt and water seals. The main
bearing diameters are said to exceed
those of any other American-built car
Valves are set at an angle and cylinder
heads are of aluminium. At 80 miles
an hour tests show that 81 per cent of
the total horsepower is left in reserve
for acceleration. A new feature in
volving use of centrifugal weights
makes it possible to use clutch oper-
ated with a slight foot pressure yet
capable Of maintaining firm engage
ment.
Power increases are noteworthy in
the three larger 1885 Packard cars,
the eight, the supereight and the
twelve, which rate 130, $50 and It's,
respectively. OF major importance in
power plant improvement is the great
ly increased endurance of vital parts.
New-type connecting rods, high heat
resisting valves, improved cooling Of
valve seats and great flow of oil have
enabled Packard motors to travel dis
tances as great as $4,000 miles at full
sustained speed. All Packard bodies
have been streamlined, while at the
same time retaining the traditional
Packard identity.
Through moving the engine slightly
forward in the more rigid frame
weight distribution has been improved.
This, together with more rigid anchor
ing Of the body, has made the car
capable of q better ride. Since there
is no increase in weight the increased
power has added to the performance
and hill-climbing ability. All three of
the larger lines are ,equippei with
power brakes, automatic chassis lubri-
cation and shock absorb rs adjustable
from the dash. The parking brake is
