Bennett Cerf Interviews George Romney

Noted publisher, columnist and television personality gets inside story of revolutionary advance in car construction from the President of American Motors. CIRF: Mr. Romney, why do you offer a total of $25,000 insurance with your new cars? ROMNEY: It backs our claim that “single unit” construction makes the strongest, safest, most modem cars. _ _ CERF: Is there really that much difference between the way you and other manufacturers make cars? ROMNEY: All thedifference between yesterday’s railway coach and today’s streamliner. Other cars still use a principle old as the oxcart: A flat frame bolted under a separafe body. In our cars, frame and body are welded as a “single unit”. It’s the biggest stride since the all-steel body. CERF: And this makes a safer car? ROMNEY: Twice as safe. Instead of a flat frame underfoot, our frame is a steel, box-girder enclosure as big as the car. It gives you “wraparound” protection in front, rear, sides and top. CERF: That sounds tikereafprotection. ROMNE Y:That*s not all. Flat frames others use are stiff, so they transmit collision force throughout the car. Our big steel box-girders up front absorb most of the impact. They take the brunt of the punishment instead of passengers. CERF: What about performance? ' ■ " ’ * ROMNEY: That’sa real plus." Single unit” construction gives a better powef-wieight ratio. It’s stronger and safer, but eliminates useless "weight and bulk. Our cars have set many racing records. „ CERF: And economy? ROMNEY: They're tops. Rambler holds the gas mileage record in Mobilgas Economy Runs. Again, because our “hard-muscled” single Unit avoids dead weight. CERF: I like room and comfort.

Additional Bond Is rdered By Judge Orders Petitioners To File Added Bond A ruling that the petitioners 1* the John Barger petition for drainage file additional bond was made by Judge Myles Parrish Thursday in Adams circuit court. > The ruling upheld a petition by a remonstrator, John Kintz, represented by Severin H. Schurger, that the petitioners be required to add to their *2OO bond. The court found Thursday that there have been preliminary expenses already totalling *3.035.19, none of which payments were authorized by the Judge of the circuit court. Judge Parrish ordered the petitioners to file additional bond sufficient to pay tor all expenses in the event that the court fails to establish the proposed drain. Another motion by remonstrators seeking to set aside and strike the report of the engineer and viewer was also submitted ip the drainage case and this petition was .over-ryled. The case has .been on the court docket tor several.years. Further proceedings will be delayed now until the additional bond is submitted apd approved by the court.

lik Jw i • Ksdk mHI ***** ■ r R j|- r ” ROMNEY: Nash and Hudson have ’ more room inside than any highpriced car. Rambler equals me-dium-priced big cars. As for ride, the greater strength of our “single unit” lets us use larger springs, and superior front suspension. CERF: Isn't resale value important? ROMNEY: You bet. Rambler has top resale value in the low price field. In addition to other advantages, welded single unit cars last longer, make better used cars. CERF: If all you say is true, why don't the Big Three make cars your way? > ROMNEY: You see, mere "bigness” can be a handicap in advanced automobile engineering. One of the biggest of the “Big 3" was years behind trthers in adopting the allsteel body. Ihe bigger you are, the more factories you have—the more it costs to change. ——- CERF: I can understand that. ROMNEY: Beginning in 1940, we spent over $50,000,000 to develop the "single unit” car. Today, it will cost the biggest companies billions to re-tool for our method. CERF: Do you think they will follow you? ROMNEY: No doubt about it. Our major competitors will probably make the change gradually—piecemeal—or one model at a time. Frankly, we wifi be happy tosee our “single unit” construction adopted, because it will mean better, safer . cars on American highways. CERF: Well, I’pi about ready for another car. I'm going down to look at American Motors cars. ROMNEY: All I ask anyone to do is - -see and drive Mir modem “single unit” cars at ,a Nash or Hudson dealer's. The rest is up to you. ■ w r.;’' 'Z'
