Nothing radical is expected, with the exception of anew front-drive car. There are two of this type being made at the present time. The Ford Motor Company announces that the cabriolet introduced at the beginning of the year is being produced at the rate of approximately 200 units a day and that its production is rapidly being increased. To make parts for the former four-cylinder Chevrolet, the company announces the establishment of service machine shops at Detroit and Flint and of additional service training schools for mechanics.

Hydraulic shock absorbers, front and rear.

1. A longer wheelbase, from 113 to 115 inches. 2. Double drop frame construction, lowering the car s center of gravity, bringing the entire car closer to the road and giving it greater roadability, besides enhancing its sweeping appearance. 3.

Semi-automatic choke, like that nsed on each of its larger Studebarker companions, to prevent crankcase dilution by avoiding excess choking. The motor remains almost the same ss that of the former Dictator Six—an L-head engine of slightly less displacement but developing the same horsepower, about 65.

Pressure lubrication to main, connecting rod and camshaft bearings, oil filter, crankcase ventilator, fuel pump instead of vacuum tank, gasoline filter, thermostatic control of the cooling system are. also included for proper operation of the motor. Four-wheel mechanical brakes have 178 inches of breaking area and require little pressure at the pedal to check the speed of the car. All, including the parking brake, are of the internal expanding type. Hydraulic shock absorbers help the 36-inch springs in front and 54inch springs in back to provide easy riding for the passengers.
