Popularity OF Oldsmobile's
hydra-matic drive, which elmi-
mates the clutch pedal and all
manual gear shifting, was empha-
sized Saturday by II. A. Trevell-
yam, Oldsmobile's general sales
manager, with the announcement
that II per cent of all 1912 Olds-
mobiles sold since the cars were
introduced have been equipped
with this feature.
more than 81 per cent Of all
90 series OIdsmobiles for 1912
sold In the medium price field
are hydra-matic equipped" said
TrevellNan.
approximately 81 per cent Of
six and eight cylinder models in
the 20 series and over 73 per
cent of the low-priced sc and 6S
series OIdsmobiles are similarly
equipped"

Packard Baeks
Chrome Edilt

Clipper engineers ~ Packard
believe that the restrictions oi
chrome and other trim metals
will have q beneficial effect upon
automobile styling of the future
They think these forced restric-
tions may result in the creation
of cleaner exterior lines as re-
placement for chrome and other
trim materials now used extern
Sively as a form of costume jewell
ing. ----
With Inc Introduction Of the
Clipper. Packard engineers sought
to combine the best features of
ultra modern StreamlineS with
functional usage and comfort. The
natural beauty of the Clippers
streamlines brought immediate
and popular acceptance.
Encouraged by public approval
OF a simplified design, Packard
began the restriction of excessive
metal trim several months before
the defense-inspired no trim"
edict was announced.

.Chrys|er Calls
Service Chiefs

Realizing the growing impor-
lance of service, both to the pub
lie and to the automobile dealer,
the Chrysler Sales Division is now
conducting a series of sales con-
ferences in Detroit. These con-
ferences are attended by dealers
service managers in groups of 20
to IS.
Each conference lasts two weeks,
with all-day sessions daily. The
program covers all phases of serv-
ice in exhaustive detail as much
as two days being given TO some
of the subjects. Among the things
discussed are potential facilities,
management, promotion, interde-
lpartmental work, new car deliv-
cries, servicing Chrysler products
and handling the customer. Some
of these subjects are taken up
under as many as % sub-headings.
AS a result of these confer
ences we feel assured Of m i'm
proyement In the quality of our
dealers service generally
throughout the country" says
Charles l.. jacobson, vice pres
ident in charge Of sales. "The
public will benefit greatly by
this intensive study of service
problems, because II means a
higher quality OF work, and. In
many cases. saving In time to
the customer. With fewer new
ears on the road, obviously there
must he more older ones, and
this means that good service Is
more important now than 1t
ever has been before.

Sure, there's a difference. And
there's a difference in the service

general service manager of Pom

THE unfortunate thing Is
that for a great many years all
motorists were buying service

Joneses and the other hard
drivers" Marshall continued.
when you took your car to a

These combinations ran into
money and-likely as not-they
included many items which your
moderately-driven car didn't
need.
But that was yesterday.
Today, with up-tO-date motor
testing equipment. there Is no
longer any need to pay for serv-
Ice that Jones needs and you
don't. Only a few essential Win

for all cars. Beyond that, the

Noise Toned DoDn

Structurally, these new. test
cells resemble huge tunnels, los
feet in length. open at both ends
10 permit air flow, For % feet al
each end of the tunnel there is q
honeyc h und-absorbine
treatment. This permits smooth
and free passage of the Air while
the deafening noise is toned down
by the honeycomb.
Huge airplane engines neces-
sarily require tremendous rush
Of air over the fins and around the
battles TO keep them cool. In the
test cells there is no natural for
ward movement to push air
through these fins, hence, an ar
tlicial air1ow, approximating
that set UP by plane in flight,
has been provided by a blower
powered with 250-horsepower
motor.
