'35 OLDSMOBILE BOASTS LATEST PROVED DEVICES Six and Eight Series Are Roomier; Have Solid Steel Tops. The new 1935 Oldsmobile six and eight series which were announced In Indianapolis several weeks ago. •re both bieger and roomier. A eompiete line of the new Oldsmobile six and eight models are being displayed by Lathrop-Moyer Retail. Inc. at 418 N. Capitol-av; Wright Oldsmobile Cos., Inc., at 1301 N. Meridian-st; Sullivan Motor Cos ,

at 652 Virginia-av, and Miller Oldsmobile Cos , at 3120 E Washington-st, all this week in conjunction with Indianapolis dealer show week. According to L. C. Burnett. Indianapolis zone manager of the Oldsmobile Motor Cos., both cars retain all the engineering advances

of 1934 and add to them important new developments of the last 12 months. The solid steel "turret top” body by Fisher has as an integral part a roof stamped from a solid sheet of Beamless steel. The body has steel protection for the passengers on all sides, top and bottom. A streamline design in which the entire car slopes from the new radiator. back over the slanting windshield. rounded top and to the rear bumper in one sweeping line is accentuated by the single piece streamline fenders. An X-type frame is 40 per cent stronger and more rigid than those Os previous models. A boxed-in section has been added at the rear of the frame, the holes in the Xmember eliminated as far as possible. and two fore-and-aft straddle bars are used over the gas tank as compared to the single bar of 1934. A complete system of soundproofing of chassis, engine and body Is added. Interiors are roomier, with ample head and leg space, widened seats and smart new fittings and huge luggage compartments-

Wright Redistributed Redistribution of weight permits all passengers to ride between the axles, thus adding to comfort. This Is done by moving the motor and the seats about five inches forward from the 1934 position. The wheelbase on both cars is longer. Increased power is achieved largely through the use of an entirely new design cylinder head, which gives a higher compression ratio and still permits the use of Standard fuel. Operation is more economical because of improvements in the manifolding system and carburetor. Proving ground tests of the six have registered 18 miles to the g?”cn of gas at 50 miles an hour. Knee-action wheels are of the coil spring type used on the higher priced cars. With this construction, employed and proved successful by Okismobile in 1934. the front wheels move up and down independently of each other, mounted on the chassis by strong upper and lower control arms. Thus road shocks and jolts which would otherwise be transmitted to the car and passengers are 'soaked up” by the big coil springs. Trunks Built In In announcing the many improvements in the 1935 Oldsmobile Mr. C. L. McCuen. president of Oldsmobile. said: •‘lt is our belief that the purchaser of anew car is entitled to all that is new and better—all the important features that will make that car more desirable to drive and own. It is a basic Oldsmobile policy to give the public as soon as possible all the new things of proved value. We have therefore not only kept the improvements of 1934. but h*"e added new safety, new beauty and new economy by the introduction on the new* Oldsmobile of the latest engineering developments.” Headlamps are mounted on the radiator shell instead of on the fender hood ledge. Running boards are separate from the fenders and are mounted on three steel supports instead of the customary two. The spare tire no longer is mounted outside, but is concealed in the new luggage compartment in the rear of the car. Luggage space is now provided in standard models, and models with built-in trunks now have extra large carrying capacity.

New Product of Graham Enters Low Price Field

Three Other New Models Also Featured by Company for 1935. Entering the lowest price range with anew six. the Graham-Paige Motors Corp. also announces three other new cars for 1935 —an eight and a supercharged eight, both with 123-mch wheelbase, and a special six. with 116-inch wheelbase—four new cars. According to L. L. Newby, president of the Newby Motor Cos., 1033

N. Mer id i an-st, Graham and i stributors for this territory, who are displaying the new models, advanced styling, with emphasis on modern streamlining, is the dominant note of all the cars, although the company also is stressing power, economy, safety and riding comfort.

Mr. Newby

Long, low, rakish lines giving an appearance of power and grace to the models are accompanied by means of a sloping rear and a narrow radiator sloping in line with the windshield. Combined with this style of body design are one-piece, deep-crown, deeply skirted fenders, horizontal louvres, streamlined headlights and bumpers, streamlined window effects, steel artillery type wheels, wide treads and steel running boards. Spare Tire Concealed In three of the price groups—the special six and both the eights—the sedans have spare wheel and tire carried in a special compartment in the rear beneath the luggage space and inside the body, except when the car is furnished with side mountings and fender wells. In this case the partition between luggage and spare wheel compartments is removed to give increased luggage space. Access to this compartment is through an outside lid at rear of the body, which is hinged at its top and secured with a keylocking outside handle. In the new low-priced six access to this luggage compartment is gained by raising the rear seat back, which is hinged at its upper edge. The spare wheel and tire on this model are carried at the rear, outside the body. The spec.al six. standard eight and supercharged eight will be available in the sedan, coupe and convertible coupe body types. The new Graham six in the lowest price range is offered in the two-door and four-door sedan types. Mechanical Features All models are equipped with fourwheel hydraulic brakes, two-way direct acting hydraulic shock absorbers. rubber cushioned and outboard mounted semi-elliptic springs. I-beam front axle, cam and lever type steering gear, with safety type three-spoke wheel, demountable artillery type steel wheels, semi-float-mg rear axle with spiral bevel gear drive, needle roller bearing universal. tubular propeller shaft, transmission with helical gears and synchronizers. single dry plate clutch, tilt-ray headlamps with foot-oper-ated dimmer control and safety plate glass in windshields and all windows.

SCHOLARSHIPS WILL BE CONTEST PRIZES National Competition Open to High School Girls. High school teachers of Indianapolis have received announcements of an essay contest to be sponsored by the National Livestock and Meat Board, the principal prizes for which are university scholarships. Indianapolis women are familiar with the educational w'ork of the board through the cooking school conducted a few months ago by The Times, at which Miss Ruth Chambers was the lecturer. The contest is not only locr.l and state-wide, but national in scope. Already it is said that these future homemakers are beginring to assemble material on a wide variety of topics. These range from the proper use of meat in the low cost diet to the nutritive values of meat, and brings out all the new kinds and quirks in roasting, stewing, braising and broiling. Besides stimulating interest in the study of home economics, the contest offers fitting rewards for outstanding essays. Some girl in Indiana will be selected to succeed Miss Florence Leisure, Windfall, 1934 state title winner. University scholarships will be awarded those students who best combine literary ability with a thorough knowledge of their subject.

For 1935, the new Chrysler Airstream takes its place with the dramatic new Airflow to bring really modern motor car travel to new additional thousands. The new Airstream Six and Eight cost little more than the out-and-out econohiy cars. Yet they embody many of the advantages of Airflow design which so revolutionized motoring last year. They are the roomiest tars of moderate price you eVer saw . . . and the easiest riding, with their rno:*e scientific weight distribution and new tapered leaf springs.

Six Presented by Pontiac as Low Price Field Entry

Smaller Car Possesses Many Features of Eight. This year marks the entry of the Pontiac Motor Company into the low priced field with a line of sixes as a companion to its improved straight eight. Both the six and eight series are being shown during Indianapolis dealer show week by Hoosier Cadillac Company, Robinson Automobile Company, Thom-burg-Vollrath Motor Company. Inc., Virginia Motors, Inc., and I. Wolf Auto Company. Many changes and improvements

have been made in the eight over last year's line, and in almost every instance the same features of design and construction are included in the lower cast six. One outstanding value of the 1935 Pontiacs is seen in the ability of the engineers to apply advanced ideas of tear-drop streamlining. A great contribution to the modern design is the development of the Fisher no-draft ventilation solid steel turret top body. Its construction is said to provide a greater degree of safety, comfort and beauty than any previous Fisher bodies. The large one-piece solid steel roof, supported on a foundation of steel bows and welded to the other steel sections of the bodv, puts a protecting armor around passengers. The name of turret top is apt, as

astonishing Floating Ride. They have new syncro-silent transmissions for easy, quiet shifting. They have new perfected steering ... so sure and effortless that these big cars handle like a small roadster. The Automatic Overdrive, which changes gear ratios automatically at 45 miles an hour, is standard on the Airflow Imperials, optional on the Chrysler Airflow Eights. Airflow or Airstream . . . you get the good things first in a Chrysler. Join the crowd, see the cars and judge for yourself.

the influence of the naval architect seems much in evidence in the torpedo effect produced, as well as the slightly converging flow of lines in the rear that resembles the after hull af a destroyer. Another departure from previous Pontiac construction is the adoption of improved hydraulic brakes, with water and dust tight double and triple seat brake drums. Doors have been widened to such an extent that even the old-time hoop skirt would be comfortable, particularly in the two-door models. There is more room in all models. Seats are wider. Head room is greater. There is anew departure in the style of the divided front seat of the eight two-door models. Park Luggage Carrying space for luggage and packages has been increased in every model. All sedan models have a luggage compartment in the rear, where the spare tires also are carried. The touring sedan models, with their extended trunks, provide increased luggage space. Package shelves extend across the back seats of all cars. Mechanically, there are many improvements. Tli. knee-action units now are mounted on a 2 ? L inch torsional tube extending under the front of the chassis. It adds to the rigidity. Steering is made easier, the steering gear ratio being increased to 17.5 to 1. Os interest mechanically are the new and exclusive silver alloy connecting rod bearings, an alloy of silver and cadmium said to provide greater resistance to heat that is generated in high speed driving, than any babbitt bearing metal used heretofore. Rear springs are graphited. lubricated and encased in tight fitting metal covers. Pontiac engineers seem to be among the industry's greatest adherents to the policy that any sacrifice in necessary weight means a lass of stability and consequently lessened dependability. The six cylinder four-door sedan weighs 3400 pounds, while the improved eight weighs 3550 pounds.
