MASTER MODEL CHEVROLET HAS FIRSTSKOWING Wheelbase Increase Among Many New Features in 1935 Line. Two npw series of Chevrolet cars —the master aodd and the standard models are being displayed by ail Indianapolis Chevrolet dealer show-rooms in con function with dealer show week. While the standard series have been on display for several weeks, this week marks the art appearance of the Master models in Indianapolis.

The wheelbase of the master series has been increased to 113 inches and the inclosed “kneeaction” wheel suspension has been improved. According to E. Berger. Indianapolis zone manager for the Chevrolet Motor Cos., the Master de luxe models include sedan. coach, busi-

ness coupe with luggage compartment. sport coupe with rumble seat, sport sedan and tow n sedan. In addition to the coarh. business cotip”, phaeton and sport roadster, which comprised the standard line last year, the 1935 line includes a full sized four-door sedan and a sedan delivery car for light commercial Usns. The 1935 standard has been given virtually the same performance ability as the master de luxe, which, however, departs distinctly from previous Chevrolets in design of body and trim. The engines, incorporating many improvements over the 1934 master motor, are of the same size and design in both models, while in the chassis the chief difference is the presence in the master de luxe of Chevrolet inclosed knee-action suspension, now entering its second year improved In construction and operation. Similar Features Mechanically the two models have In common numerous Important improvements in construction and design. Both engines have an original system of high pressure jets supplying oil to connecting rod bearings, and electro-plated pistons and heavier crankshafts. In both chassis newly designed clutches, more effective braking systems, stiffpr frames and other advances are designed to give greater ease operation. increased durability and a better ride. Visually the new master de luxe retains only the characteristic outlines of the radiator and the familiar trade mark on hub caps and radiator emblem of Chevrolet. The V-radiator itself is narrower and more sloping, the unit fenders are highly contoured in their streamlining. while the wi*- ’shield not only slopes back steer but also is slightly V-shaped, causing all the forepart of the car to flo * smoothly Into the body. By utilizing the newly developed all-steel roof construction Chevrolet looks sleek, its highly crowned roof sweeping from the windshield to the streamlined rear end in a contmuous curve. Longer Wheelbase The wheelbase of the master de luxe is increased to 113 inches, and an increase in body space has been gained bv moving the engine forward. The appearance of great length has been enhanced by lowering the floor level, dropping it one inch nearer the ground by loweiing the chassis side rails. The master de luxe sport and town sedans have integral trunks embodied in the rear panels, with compartments for the spare wheel. In the three sedans pressed steel wheels with short rounded spokes are regular equipment. Wire wheels with large hub caps are used on the other models. In the lower priced line of the standard models larger bodies, a new engine with 23 per cent more horsepower, an improved chassis frame and numerous other features give improved performance. Bodies are generally improved in spaciousness and comfort and posses many now conveniences and appearance features. To attain greater acceleration, higher speed and better hill-climb-lr.g Chevrolet has adopted for the new standard line the larger "Blue Flame** engine of the same displacement 1 206 8 cu. in') and compression ratio <5.45 to 1) as used in the 1934 master models. NEW STARTER OFFERED Pontiac Engine Kept in Motion Until Action Is Complete. Anew electric starter, which continues to operate until the motor is firing reguiarly, is noted on the 1935 Pontiac six and the eight. Increasing the number of poles in the starting motor from two to four has also increased the cranking torque ability 25 per cent. The old type starter would unmesh when the first cylinder fired, but the new one remains in mesh and continues to crank until the motor fires regularly and picks up speed. PASSENGERS REMAIN Tire Tools Kept in Rear Compartment of New Packards. A convenience in the new Packard 120 lies in the fact that if a tire has to be changed, and punctures some times do occur, passengers are not compelled to get out of the car while tools are taken out from under one of the seats. All tools are carried in a compartment ui the rear of the car where the spare tire and wheel are completely hidden from view. Above this compartment is space for parcels. Plymouth Reduces Noise Objectionable noise caused by the rush of air Ui.cbr the hood has been eliminated in the new 1935 Plymouth. Fan blades in this car are "staggcred** in an arrangement which tests have shown, permits quieter spinning in the air without loss of efficiency. The air cleaner also serves to muffle the noise made by the inrush of air to the carburetor.

Believes Team Work in Motor Industry Aided in Improvement. Today the co-operation between government and industry is providing a splendid basis on which to rebuild the confidence of the nation, according to C. W. Nash, chairman of the board of the Nash Motors Cos. “The motor car industry has put to good use this idea of close cooperation for the common good,” he asserts, "and I sincerely believe that this spirit of co-operation is more responsible for the automobile industry's early return to more prosperous times than ar.y other one thing. “The industry’s leaders have had the intelligence and common sense to face and solve the serious problems that have arisen without laying down a barrage of arguments aimed to advance personal causes. Over a period of years this willingness to place personal issues behind common issues ani pull together has saved manufacturers many

BODIES STRENGTHENED Chrysler Airflow Cars Put to Numerous Tests. Every kind of a test that has ever been made, including the most severe and spectacular one of rolling an automobile down the side of a steep cliff, has proved that the all-steel unit body and frame construction of Chrysler Airflow cars has the greatest strength and stability. AIR MOVES IN NASH CAR Conditioning Achieved With New Type of Ventilation Air conditioning, receiving a great deal of attention from industrial engineers, has not been forgotten by the designers of the 1935 Nash. A space is provided under the front seat through which air can circulate from the front compartment to the rear so that when the cowl ventilator and rear quarter windows are open a circulation of air is provided. Bulbs Focused When the bulb is once inserted in a Cadillac or La Salle headlamp it is set in the right position to give accurate beam from the deflector. This exact fbcus eliminates dangerousglare against other drivers.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

AIRFLOW CARS PURCHASED BY 24.000 IN 1934 Production Obstacles Curb Output; Wallerich Sees Rosy Future. “In the year 1934, more than 24,000 airflow cars were produce 1 and sold, in spite of the fact that we encountered problems of manufe'’ture that retarded rapid production until well into the spring. These cars marked the introduction of an entirely new type of transportation in the higher-priced field. They set the public thinking of motor car transportation

in entirely new terms,” declared C. H. Wallerich, president of C. H. Wallerich, Inc., local Chrysler dis t ributors located at 950 N. Meridian-st, who are holding a special salon showing of the new models all this week. “The 1934 airflow was the logical

answer to the public’s demand for a better ride,” Mr. Wallerich continued, “for a fuller measure of the things that go to make up comfort —greater roominess in all dimensions, wider doors, better steering, better springs, and anew distribution of weight that would permit the passengers to ride more comfortably in what might be termed a cradle between front and rear wheels. “The automobile has grown up by gradual stages. Even in the days when good roads were few, there were some great cars; cars that gave fine satisfaction according to the standards of their day. As good roads became more extensive and people began to drive greater dis-

tances and wanted greater speeds, they demand a higher degree of mechanical proficiency. They wanted cars in which they could take full advantage of the improved roads. Then after speed and reliability had been attained in all cars, public attention was focused on the quality of the ride. Out of this trend towards comfort and luxury came the airflow. “In the 1935 airflow Chrysler Is offering a car that is a sensational advance over even the great Airflow of 1934. I can say this in all frankness. I had though that our last year’s Airflows were by all odds the "finest automobiles I had ever driven—and that includes some that would retail for as much as s6ooo—but after one ride behind the wheel of the 1935 car I realized that there was a vast superiority. “Among the mechanical improvements that have enabled us to better the famous floating ride of the Airflow car this year are the introduction of new type springs and the moving of the stabilizer or swaybar from the rear to the front of the car. “This device counteracts the sway caused by rounding curves or on uneven roads. It keeps the body of the car on an ‘even keel.’ The new tapered multi-leaved springs provide a period of movement to

conform to the human system and thus do much to banish fatigue. "For those who feel that the Airflow line is beyond their purse’s reach, we are offering an Airstream six and Airstream eight that represent as fine values as we ever have built. These cars include almost all of the distinctive features of the Airflow. The frame does not, however, extend out over the engine as in the Airflow, and consequently a more conventional type of front end is used. DE SOTO’S STABILIZER ACTS TO CHECK SWAY Steel Bar and drms Function in Shifting Spring Action. The new 1935 Airflow De Soto has a ride stabilizer which consists of a round steel bar to which is fastened steel arms, one at each end. The bar is mounted on a bearing in the chassis and the arms are fastened to the front axle. When the car leans, as in rounding a curve, the arm on the outside is pulled down and because of the steel bar and the arm on the other side, part of the force is transferred to the spring on the inside. Thus, both springs are called into action when the car shows any tendency toward leaning to one side.

FORD REPORTS NEW PRODUCTION RECORD January Output Announced as 105,000 Units. B.v Time* Bprrinl DEARBORN. Mich., Feb. 11—The highest January world production of Ford cars and trucks since 1929 is announced at the home offices of the Ford Motor Company, a total of 105.230 units having been produced during the month. This figure represents an increase of more than 70 per cent over world production in January, 1934, when 61.813 units were built. Ford domestic production of V-8 cars and trucks for January of this year was 91.043 units, or an increase of more than 75 per cent over January of last year, when 51.974 units were produced in the United States. The new Ford V-8 cars were not introduced until Dec. 29. Pays to Tighten Bearings Bearings in engines these days are larger, better and more durable, but it pays to have ‘hem tightened periodically, at le? .6 every 20,000 miles.

REO MOTOR 00. CUTS PRICES ON FLYINGCLOODS Self-Shifter Continued as Feature; Ride Quality Improved. Reo Motor Car Co.'s 1935 passenger car offerings include anew Flying Cloud line and new Reo-Royale models at lower prices. The Flying Clouds are priced lower than any previous Reo sedans. Both models are fitted with patented Reo selfshifter transmissions at slight extra cost or with conventional three

speed, silent second, synchronized gear shift sets as standard. Safety and greater ease of operation, as well as ne w streamlined style, greater speed and comfort are among the features stressed in the new products. To easy steering and effective brak-

Mr. Malarky

:ng Reo engineers have added the simplicity of control provided by the self-shifter, the patented transmission to banish the conventional gear-shift lever and so permit the driver to devote his entire attention to steering, starting and stopping. A further safety feature is that, with no gear-shift lever, three passengers can ride comfortably in the front seat without interfering with the car operation and control. Riding comfort has been improved in the new Flying Cloud by seating rear passengers ahead of the rear axle, both body and engine having been shifted forward. A special display of the new models is being conducted by J. J. Malarky, head of Reo Indiana Sales, inc., at 923 N. Meridian-st. t all this week in conjunction with Indianapolis automobile dealer week.
