COUPE PICKUP
ADDED To LINE
BY CHEVROLET
Passenger Car Appearance
Combined With Utility
in Delivery Auto.

A new type vehicle combining
passenger car appearance with the
utility of the small commercial car
has been added by the Chevrolet
Motor co. to its standard line, ac-
cording to E. w. Berger, Indian
apolis zone manager.
1t is called the Coupe Pickup, be-
cause it consists of a regular stand
ard coupe and pickup body, which
is built in the rear compartment of
the passenger body, extending only
a short distance beyond the sweep
ing curves of the rear deck.
The combination offers complete
passenger car comfort and smart ap-
pearance with the utility of the or
binary commercial pickup body. 1t
is designed especially for delivery
service and for use by electricians,
plumbers, contractors, oil field work.
ers and others who haul compact
loads.
60-Inch Space Available
The load space of the box is go
inches long by Al Is inches wide
inside. The opening under the rear
deck is 1914 inches deep, which per-
mits loading of large packages well
forward on the platform. When the
tail gate is lowered flush with the
floor, the platform is II inches long.
To support the pickup load ade-
quately, sedan chassis springs are
used in the rear instead of the
lighter coupe springs.
The box is constructed of steel
panels. The floor is of wood with
flush wear irons running lengthwise.
Three heavy wooden cross-members
support the box on the chassis
frame. A special tool compartment
is provided behind the seat, reached
through an easily removed cover
attached to the panel behind the
right side of the seat back. The
regular assortment of tools is fur
nished, except that jack of 2000-
pound capacity is included.
The interior of the coupe body is
trimmed the same as the regular
passenger car.

PONTIAC ZONE
TOPS AVERAGE
Increase of 148 Per Cent Is
Shown by Dealers in
Cincinnati Area.

D. M. House, manager of the
Cincinnati Pontiac zone, points out
with considerable pride that the
territory controlled by the Cincin-
natl zone did better than the ma
tional average in sales in 1885. The
1885 national average more than
doubled the 1884 figure.
Here in the Cincinnati zone," says
Mr.. House, Pontiac dealers had an
increase of 1881 per cent in their
1885 deliveries. Many of them did
three and four times the business
last year that they did the previous
IL months.
1.-TWO hundred twenty dealers in
the Cincinnati zone can't be wrong
when they all predict greatly in
creased Pontiac sales for 1885 and
are as optimistic over the profit
possibilities as they are for the in
creased sales.

of a portion of Ohio, Indiana, Ken

PACKARD MAKES
new 100 MODEL
CUSTOM SEDAN
Body Has Same Rigidity as
Permanent Top
Models.

A new custom 100 convertible
sedan was announced This week by
the Packard Motor Car Co., accord
ing to Chas. G.. Sanders, general
manager of the Citizens Motor Car
Co, Packard distributors for the In
dianapolis territory.
This gives Packard eight different
body models for its lower priced
car and makes a total of 43 differ
ent types offered by the company
besides the custom cars of the
Senior lines, several commercial
models and other special cars, Mr.
Sanders stated.
This new convertible sedan Is
mounted on chassis especially de-
signed for it. While the regular
120-horse power engine, SafeTfex
system Of independently sprung
front wheels, angleset hypoid gear
rear axle and other outstanding
features of the standard One
Twenty chassis are used, the frame
has been designed expressly for a
convertible type body.
Heavy reinforcements in the
frame give the body, when mounted,
the same rigidity that is found in
permanent top bodies. This is ac-
complished, according to Packard
engineers, without the necessity of
raising the floor level of the car
for the installation of bracing
members in the body itself. The
same chassis is now being used, it
is announced, for the One Twenty
convertible coupe.
The One Twenty custom con-
yertible sedan has a large built-in
luggage compartment at the rear
with a rain and dust-proof cover,
adding to its other desirable fea-
lures as car especially fitted for
touring. The spare wheel and tire
are concealed in another compart-
ment Immediately below that de-
signed for luggage.
Convertible types of bodies have
always been popular with Packard.
Because Of this, according to word
from the Packard factory, produc-
ton on the new car is being
fastened as rapidly as possible in
anticipation of an unusually heavy
demand.

SALE OF USED
CARS AIDED BY
FALL DISPLAYS
November Shows Increased
Supply of Trade Ins,
Ford Official SAYS.

Largely as a result of the early
introduction Of 1886 models at the
automobile shows last fall, late
model used cars are offered the
buyer who wants to "trade-up" in
a wider selection this winter than
usual, a survey of the used car mar
ket shows.
Unprecedented winter sales of new
cars following the November shows
have brought in a supply of late
models, providing the winter buyer
with unusual values in the better
grade cars, according to R. A. Hayes,
Indianapolis branch manager of the
Ford Motor Co. Reports from Ford
dealers throughout the state indi-
cate that buyers are pushing used
car sales to new highs for the VIM
ter months, Mr.. Hayes asserted.
Ordinarily, the number of good
used cars available reaches its peak in
the spring." he said. But unusual
winter sales OF new Ford cars this
year has resulted in condition
highly favorable for the used car
buyer at a season when 'tradin-up'
has many advantages"
Following the theory that most
motorists are interested in safety
and ease of starting at this sea-
son, special attention is given to
these features in reconditioning used
cars, he added. Thus the whole
situation in the used car market
combines to favor the motorist with
an old car who wishes to avoid
trouble and accident hazards by
trading for later model.
Dealers generally are recondi-
tioning their used cars before of
fering them for sale, and Ford deal
ers are placing a two-day money
back guarantee on all better grade
cars. This means that used cars
can be purchased with the assurance
of entire satisfaction or the Ford
dealer will refund the purchase price
any time within the guarantee Pc
riod," Mr.. Hayes concluded.
