 One of the most striking features Of the new interiors is ap tnstTu' nlept panel that represents the finest modern thought in designs of this kind. The panel itself IS handsomely grained and buried and the grouping of instruments conT pines beauty and the utmost copy yeniepce to the driver, Tn the cen- ter Is placed a wide decorative pam el that may be removed for the in- stallation of radio controls. At the left is the big clock-type speed- ometer occupying square section, On the right in a section of the same size and appearance as the speedometer are grouped the other Instruments that are less frequent ly consulted.
 All controls are grouped below the center of the instrument panel, re- cessed so that the knobs are flush with the surface. Nothing is left to protrude as a possible cause of il- jury to person or clothing. Door handles throughout, both inside and outside the car, are so curved that they cannot catch the clothing or result in injury in case of Q sudden stop.
 Ring Operates Horn
 The large three-spoke steering wheel has a rim of light colored material to harmonic with other interior fittings. A metal ring oper- ates the horn button, so that the driver does not need to take his hand off the rim of the wheel to sound signals. The handbrake lever of pistol-grip type is placed below the instrument panel in the center. This gives additional leg room in the front compartment and at the same time the handle is close enough to the former position h serve drivers who had become ac- customed to reaching for 1t when 1t extended upwards from the floor.
 The front seat adjustment has been greatly improved. It IS more easily effected and at the same time 1t moves forward, which means that 1t adjusts itself to a position most suited to the short-legged per- son. A compensatirg spring makes It easy to attain the position Of the seat most comfortable to the person who b going to use it.
 Added safety features of the ln- terior include the raising of the ip, stFument panel above knee level, the Fecesslng of the dash iD front Of the brake and clutch pedals to reduce the possibility Of interfer- enee with thaIr action, the removal Of the dome light and switch from the reef of the ear in favor Of Q sogs sGeaaOG m gDt nsadSg seSvs o 3s peg ySo y back and aII sharp J edges and 1le| Hse of 2 robe cord Instead of Rl metal VAhe VAll,
