By ROSS H., GARRIG US I went to the Auto Show to get myself sold on an auto-mo-bubble. , ti didn’t have much luck. I suppose I look flivver. But I observed. Maybe tonight I’ll huy myself a fat cigar, wear baggier trousers, tortoise-shell glasses and acquire a blase look. Maybe then I can interest the Packards, and the Mormons, and the Plerce-Arrows, and—. As it was, well, one salesman talked up to me—a tired Chevrolet salesman. Told me he was tired from writing orders. Interest I^ags He let me sit In the hew coupe, but when I told him I had an ancient flivver he became Interested In another customer right off. Overland folks were considerate, too. When I ventured up to a car, a salesman bustled up and started to talk motor stuff. He. too, got a faraway look In his eyes when T told him I wanted at least 800 berries for my old tUwer.. I watched one fat fellow. He wore, a derby, glasses, rolled a fat cigar In his mouth. He got eight dealers interested In him., So I attempted “"to be blase. Ha, Hum I ventured up to one Car. "Looks rawther nice.” I told my com panion- .earJetarty lb those Stage whispers. then I never did care f^ v /leadlighte on the fenders.” But she ruined ft. "Ifes, we, had a parking - light on one of pur rear fenders and the wfree were always coming loose/' hOh, . there’s one of those aircooled cars.” said my companion. "No.’/1 replied. "Means nothing. I spend my winters in the south. Frozen motahji /never concern me. It Is H nice' car, though. Rawther powerful hood, eh what?” A salesman started for me and then changed his mind. v Another car attracted my eye. It was dappled. Flivver Blues ‘ •* “Gee, that wouldn’t show the dust when we drive to Bloomiiigton,” said she. "Wouldn’t have to wash It.” "My man,” I retorted haughtily, "you must remember, takes care of that.” The tuxedoed salesman lit a dgaret. Women are more Interested in the upholstery. Men ask. about motors, horsepower, stroke, acceleration, cylinders, aluminum crankcases, speed. Women —ph, is tnat mohair or welour? What vanity set. That gorgeous dome light. Anyhow, I was sore when I same out. Kicked my poor old flivver, patiently parking at the curb three miles away, right In the radiator. ■ Never did I see a more dilapidated car.
