Clippers Shortened

Clipper body styles are con-
tinued throughout the line save for
the somewhat shorter bonnet on
the l20-inch models as compared
10 the 127-inch. All Clipper-type
models have been shortened con-
siderably in overall length through
changes made in front and rear
bumper designs.
Despite its enormous defense
assignments, Packard has been
able to maintain essential, though
curtailed, production of motor cars
that are superior TO the long and
distinguished line that precedes the
streamlined models of 1912.
OF particular significance, in a
defense world Of "curtailments'
and "substitutionS," IS the fact
that Packard quality has in no
way suffered by reason of replace
men materials. While manufacture
ing in smaller quantity than the
larger motor car companies, Pack
ard has maintained its standards,
while preparing for substitutes
when and if required by the gov
eminent.
Engines remain hasieally tn
changed except for the fact that
the power output has been stepped
up by five horsepower with the
compression ratio being G85 10 ]
on all engines. Initial production
will see aluminium pistons through.
out the line.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-10-12

A dual answer may be found in
the fact that the defense program
is on schedule while the Packard
automobiles of 1912 are superior
in every way To any Packard cars
previously built.
Packard sees its Job as having
A double responsibility. While its
defense assignments have unques-
toned priority, ii is of vital inn
portance that PackardS high
standard Of quality in its motor
cars be IN no way relaxed.
When the nation Is beSet by
fears Of substitution. the message
of highest quality standards in q
familiar product brings reassur-
ance. Such is the case with the
Packard line of 1912. In every
detail of design, materials and
workmanship. from engine 10 rear
bumper, quality standards have
b cen uncompromisingly main
tanned.
All of the hundreds of tests and
inspections that insure quality OF

.ChrYsIer TO Use
Ads in Campaign

According TO Arthur +. Tongue,
director of advertising, Chrysler
Sales Division. Chrysler will con-
tinue much the same advertising
program in the 1912 model year
that it has used successfully in the
last two years.
Regardless OF fixed production
necessitated by the defense pro:
gram. ChrySler believes that there
will be a selling job TO do on mo-
tor cars i'm 1912 and that adver-
Using is essential 10 this job. With
prices necessarily increased by the
rising costs of materials. labor and
other elements, and with taxes
advanced, this manufactures does
not believe that the public will be
in such A buying mood that II
will take cars away from the
dealers"
Chrysler's budget will be appor-
toned in much the same ratio as
i'm 1871, with newspapers, maya
zines, radio and outdoor being al
lotted a share regardless of the
total amount available. A CO.
operative advertising program in
troduced in 1871 is constantly
being participated in by more anC
more dealers.

New Safeguard
Wheels Used

All 1912 Chrysler cars ara
equipped with Safeguard wheels,
Ia revolutionary safety device that
protects the car and passengers
in the event of a blowout or ot'~A
sudden tire failure A blowout
.punctuft while the vehicle Us
travelling al a fairly brisk speed is
.one of the most dangerous hazards
in motoring, because the car is
likely 90 be thrown ont OF control,
off the road or into the path Of
.oncoming traffic.
With the ordinary wheel and
tire, fiat tire may be thrown
from the wheel or cheWed mp in
a very short distance The Safe
guard" wheel is designed to pre-
vent this happening; to prevent
the tire from twisting, crushing
down into the center OF the rim
or rolling off the wheel
This is accomplished by a hump
shaped flange on the rim, which
holds the tire on the wheel in the
event of sudden failure. To the
driver. this means far less wheel
drop and, even AT relatively high
speeds, the car can be kept under
safe control until it is brought TO
Ia stop. The driver retains his
ability 10 use brakes and steering
wheel effectively meanwhile.

CoWI Venti|dtor

Newest symbol Of comfort in the

series of Nash cars. Open the

making system with fresh, filtered
and dehumidified air in hundreds
of cubic feet per minute.
Known as the weather eye, T"
this pioneer system Of conditioned
air for motoring has been i'm
proved by Nash for the fifth sue
cessive year. 1t is said to make
the interior of the car as balmy
as a greenhouse in the coolest
weather, eliminate the safety haz-
ard OF steamed and frosted win
dows, supply fresh air in Summer
without the discomforts of dust
and rain. and ban drafts and nox-

In operation the system is very
simple When the car is in motion.
fresh air Is drawn in through the
ventilator and passed through a
special dirt filter and dehumidi-

what IS said to be the largest
heating core in an automobile.
Enthusiastically controlled this
core rapidly heats the air 10 the
desired temperature whenever any

NelU Auto Body Design
To SaUe Motorists Gasoline

Motorists will save millions of

important new automobile body
design principal borrowed from

The principal, known as mon

strength and cruising radius o.
long-range bombers, and as applieC

reduces dead weight. At the same
time it is declared to increas,

level for full size cars.
AS described by Nash Motors
who introduced the new
construction TO the industry, the
principle employs the sheet stee
of the body as an integra
strength-supplying member for the
first time. When completed, the
body of the new Nash is, as the
name "monocoque" implies, lit

a tremendous encircling battle which
now has resulted in destruction of
the enemys 22nd army, the killing
of 10000 Russian soldiers and cap
ture of 10000 at Velikie Luki.
The battle of encirclement, fought
midway between the Ilman and
Smolensk and about 365 miles west
of Moscow, centered near the cross
roads of the Leningrad-Kiev and
Riga Moscow railroad lines and
supplemented the German efforts
to push toward Moscow in the Smo-
lenSk sector, TO the southeast.
On the southern central front,
there were further indications of
bad news for the Red army, which
had been pressing an important
counteroffensive in the Gomel area.
Nothing has been heard of the pro-
gress of this drive for several days
and London military sources ex-
pressed fear that it might have
been blocked.
On the Ukraine front. the Rus
slams apparently were attempting to
hold off major German crossings
of the lower Dnieper after losing
the big industrial city of Dnieprop-
etrovSk, but the enemy thanking
thrust from Gomel was regarded
as an increasingly grave threat to
encircle Kiev and take the Russian
