Designs Now Finished
For 1949 Model Cars;
1850 Drafting Begun
By Dovid J. WiIkie
Press Automobile Editor

DETROIT, Mar. 3.-The 1850
model automobiles already are TAX
ing shape, but they are shaped OF
clay, plastic and wood and they still
are in the industry's laboratories.
This means, of course, that all the
1s49 models yet to reach the as
sembly lines have been given final
approval and can undergo no further
changes. Ford plans to show dealers
his new Mercury and Lincoln models
late this month. It will be several
weeks later before they will get a
look at the 1949 Ford.
While this will give Ford an ad-
vantage as first major car maker
out with 1949 models 1t will also
mean a prolonged assembly line
shutdown for Ford.
Some of the problems involved in
making automobiles safer, and more
comfortable and at the same time
cutting production costs were up for
discussion at meeting opening here
today OF the Society of Automotive
Engineers. Scheduled for three days,
the session was described as the first
postwar national passenger car and
production meeting of the society.
Most of the 16 papers to be read
at the sessions were of highly
technical nature, dealing with such
subjects as production process con-
troll, the selection of aluminium al
loys and cylinder wear.
Designing and producing new
models is one of the greatest time
consuming tasks in the car industry.
Usually the new vehicle Is in the
process of styling for many months
before the engineers take over for
more long drawn out studies. When
they get through, contracts go out
for the retooling necessary to get the
cars on the assembly lines.
The whole process takes anywhere
from 18 months to two years. That
explains why many 1850 models
which will not get into production
until sometime next year already
are of the drafting boards. 1t also
explains, in part at least, why so few
completely redesigned automobiles
have been brought out to date
nearly three years after the war.

Irregular Tendency
In Sluggish Trading
BY thu Axxoeinfad Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 3.-Irregular
price movements ruled another quiet
stock market session today.
Dealings were sluggish after a
moderately active opening, although
the pace picked up slightly on oc-
casional fiurries of buying. A short
rally around noon accompanied
comebacks by some commodities.
Losses persisted in many sections,
however, and near the fourth hour
narrow advances and declines were
well distributed.
Moderate bidding was credited by
commission houses to hopes for a
spring rally and belief that the tech
nical recovery had yet to run its
full course. Railroad shares were
helped by dividend and earnings
reports. Occasional profit taking,
after recent advances, placed a
brake on upward moves. Many
customers stood aside because of
doubts about tax revision wage
price adjustments and the foreign
picture.
