The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-11-08

III celepratlon of PlymouthS tenth anniversary Jubilee" the company presents the outstanding automo- piles of its ten year career-the brilliant 1888 models now displayed at the three local Plymouth dealers.
 Keeping all of Plymouth's funda- mental major features, engineers have designed for 1888 an even finer Plymouth that is richer in comfort and style, to climax the company's first decade of building great cars.
 Faster steering, easier handling, safer vision better soundproofing- and a score of engineering refine ments that boost the level of lux ury in the lowest price field, head the list of Plymouth contributions to American motoring this year.
 Plymouth's birthday model again takes honors in its price class for unusual size and roominess. All sedan models have ample stretch ing" room for six passengers, with inches of extra shoulder room, head room and leg room in the big all- steel bodies of safety design, built by the pioneers in this method of construction.
 Overall length of all models is l94 inches, from bumper to bumper. The complete Plymouth line for 1888 includes eight Deluxe" and three Business" body types--all on 1l2- inch wheelbase with L-head engine of 82 horsepower.
 Looks Bigger
 The new Plymouth looks deflniteL ly bigger and more luxurious. A sleek new hood sweeps farther for- ward at the top to meet the new radiator grille, which now rises much more vertically than the sloping "face" of last years car.
 Bigger headlanps of teardrop de- sign emphasize the appearance of greater mass. Larger lenders dip lower in front, an inch and a half deeper than last years fender line. These now sweep In Q continuous curve toward a new, rounded front apron in body-color, that forms the architectural base of Plymouth's new front design. Hood louvres continue the lines of windstream supports for the headlamps.
 Grille designs remains classically simple, with vertical chrome bars both sides of a centerstrip in body color. At the base. the grille rounds of higher than before, to tie in with the new apron that extends across the front. This carries two decora- tive designs in chrome; a modern ized wing motif in the center, and two sets of vertical chrome stripes at the outer edges to emphasize the height of the grille.
 Plymouth introduces @ new hood design with fixed side panels, and only the top sections swinging open for routine service, water and oil. The handle remains where 1t was, on the side panel. This now becomes Q remote control, tightly looking into place the top section, or opening t partially for fingers to lift up the rest of the way.
 The side panels can be removed quickly for special service, but when in place make the whole front as- senbly 6 much more rigid unit. They form Q structural link between the body and the new radiator shell. which also is stiffer this year by virtue of the new steel apron across the front.
 Windshield Larger
 This years windshield is larger, giving safer vision. There Is more effective glass area and greater depth in the vertical plane. As Q result, the 1888 Plymouth has 12 per cent better visibility this year, making 1t easier to see overhead trafilc lights as well as closer down in front of the car.
 Plymouth'S interior color scheme for 1888 is Sable Brown, with Coach Vermillion accents at the center spots of two instrument dials and on the horn button. Upholstery ma- terials are optional, broadcloth or mohair.
 The safety-styled instrument pari- el, with all controls sunk or recessed flush with the surface, appears this year with everything centered in a unified assembly ct the middle vf the board. There are two large dials; one to show speed and rnile- age, the other containing fuel and oil guages, ammeter and heat indl- Cator. Both dials are now face- lighted, instead of through the edge, for better visibility at night without glare.
