NEW BODY DESIGN BROUGHT OUT BY PREMIER COMPANY

Is Known as Llmoulslne-Sedan— Top Built Integral With the Body. The Premier Motor Corporation, which has acquired a reputation for doing the orlglnaJ thing in body designs, as instanced by their origination and development of the now famous Cloverleaf

and Foursome roadster models, has come to bat with something even more striking and original than anything they have done heretofore. A new Premier model which promisee to stimulate a mild revolution in motor car body design Is the Premier limou-sine-redan. In this car the top Is built Integral with the body and In such an ingenious way as to permit of the car being almost instantly converted into either a limousine, a sedan or an open summer touring car. The whole scheme of the car is based on a clever manipulation of the glass panels which, when not in use, drop into cushioned pockets built Into the

side body panel* and so constructed that the glass can not rattle or break. Aside from being extremely ingenious, the new Premier limousine-sedan is a decidedly good looking Job, partaking freely of European closed job standards. The Premier Motor Corporation, it is said, will build these car* in comparatively limited quantities and will carry current with It the Premier touring car and the Premier foursome.
