recognizes the present emergency. 1t
realizes its duty to the nation to
advance in every way within its power
the program of National Defense. 1t
has already assumed most important
obligations. But in addition General
Motors believes that industry today has
second responsibility one of vital
consequence. American defense de-
mands first call on those products of
industry, both as to scope and volume,
which are essential to protecting the
nation against aggression. 1t also de-
mands, even though the fact be less
generally recognized, a sound and
virile economy. One is the compile
ment of the other. A sound economy
is essential to the detectives of the
defense program.
In line with its conception of this dual
responsibility, General Motors pre-
sents at this time its 1941 offerings of
motor cars. 1t has combined with the
important responsibilities it has as
sumed under the defense program its
normal responsibilities incident to our
peacetime economy. The new line of
motor cars is now on display before
the critical judgment of the public at
the Automobile Shows and in General
Motors dealer showrooms in every
community throughout the land.
1t has always been the policy of Gen.
eral Motors to build into its products
the greatest possible measure of value.
1t has created an engineering group
which, from the very beginning of the
industry, has made far-reaching con-
tributions to technical progress. 1t has
contributed Importantly to the motor
cars becoming the serviceable mechan.
ism of today. From the electric self
starter in the early days down through
the years, one engineering achievement
has followed another. And in great
variety: tilt.beam headlights, Duco
lacquer finishes, crankcase ventilation,
syncro.mesh transmission, Fisher No
Draft Ventilation. Knee.Action wheels,
Turret Top, automatic transmissions
and steering column eearshift.

neering products as the Diesel locomo-
tive, destined to revolutionize trans

an outstanding development in aviation
engine practice and now coming into
mass production is making a contri-
button to one highly technical phase of
the problem of National Defense. And
in an allied field, tetra-ethyl lead as
component of gasoline has revolution
lied the relationship of the fuel to the
engine, producing more power with
less weight and with greater efficiency.
AS result, not an airplane leaves the
ground today without in effect reAec-
ting tribute to the technical capacity of
General Motors. We are proud of this
record of accomplishment. 1t is the
accumulated experience of such an
engineering group that has been built
into the General Motors 1871 models.
In the different lines of motor cars
comprising the General Motors offer

refinements and Innovations some in

The engineering benefits resulting
from this achievement take the form
of added performance and increased
fuel economy. This is exempli6ed in
Buick.
A safety feature worthy of note,
based upon the Unisteel Turret Top

some years ago, consists of all doors

"A year ago General Motors an.

Matte drive. You simply steeri The
clutch is entirely eliminated. That is
most important feature. The changes
in gear ratio or speeds are automatic.
This device Is designed to take the
transmission out of driving technique.
And it doesl This has been exempli-
fed in Oldsmobile. The outstanding
acceptance Of this Hydra.Matic drive
as evidenced by the testimony of
many thousands of enthusiastic users
has had stimulating effect in acce1er-
ating the industy's progress in this
important field. Thus is progress
broadened. In q more highly refined
and somewhat simpli6ed form the
Hydra-Matic drive will be continued
in the 1871 line. You certainly will
be intrigued when you see and try
this interesting mechanism.
But the modern motor car has become
more than something in which to 90
from place to place. For many it is
something to live with. Hence more
comfort, more luxury of appointment
and increased roominess characterize
the new designs. General Motors 1911
cars are larger. The seats are wider.
Thus there is more room for both
passengers and BAGGAGE. The conceal
ment of running boards inside the
body is another innovation. The ap-
pointmenfs are more luxurious. These
should be important considerations
in determining the motor car you win
drive in 1871.
Nor is that all! The Torpedo" type
