It is expected to obtain up to 60 miles on a gallon of gasoline and is made to sell at 3325. Although engineers who designed the car at one time considered a more radical teardrop design tapering hack to two rear wheels 18 Inches apart. the machine christened today had a toinch tread in both front and rear wheels.
