MILLION MORE IS GOAL

mm

Henry Ford

Viewing the economic outlook favorably. Henry Ford expects to add another million cars to the more than 21.000.000 he has produced in his career as an automotive manufacturer. He is spending $20,000,000 in enlarging and improving his giant River Rouge plant so that 5.000 cars can roll off the assembly line in 16 hours instead of 24 hours. Anew chapter is being written in the history of the automobile show as his V-8 Ford models are displayed for the first time in over 20 years. Floating Power Improved The patented floating power engine mountings, which have been a Dodge feature for several years, are usd In the 1935 model, with modifications involving a simplified front mount and a relocation of the dual rear mounts.

PROGRESS CITED

|* ' _ "l

Alfred P. Sloan

“General Motors is in the process of announcing its 1935 cars. As you view the new models, you see that progress by evolution has been continued. Nothing especially revolutionary or radical is being offered —simply more safety, improved mechanism, greater eye appeal—all with improved economy in operation and maintenance,” Alfred P. Sloan, president of General Motors, states. These advances are the result of another year’s intensive work by the engineering staffs. To realize them in physical form has involved an expenditure of approximately $35,000,000 in new machinery, tools better economy and increased comfort and safety. L-Head Engine Used The engine of the new 1935 Plymouth is of the L-head type, which means that the valves are mounted on the side and completely enclosed within the walls of the engine itself. Hence there is never any clocking or clatter of valve mechanism. Valves in the Plymouth engine and the camshaft which operates them are designed to remain quiet in operation over a long period of time. Night Driving Unsafe. Although night traffic is only onefifth that of daylight, more than half of the fatal accidents occur between dusk and dawn. Death List Slowed Pedestrian fatalities increased less in 1934 than other types of traffic accidents, but they still average between 60 and 65 per cent of all motor vehicle deaths in cities.

FORD'S LOCAL BRANCH SETS OUTPUT MARK Deliveries in Last Ten Days of January Greatest Since 1930. The Ford Motor Company's Indianapolis branch reports the retail delivery of 843 cars and trucks during the last ten days of January. This figure coupled with those of the other two ten-day periods of the month made January the largest month in point of retail deliveries since July, 1930. A total of 1866 units were delivered. ‘‘Dealers and salesmen throughout the entire branch territory, which includes the City of Indianapolis, a great part, of the state of Indiana and a section of Illinois, are reporting sales in such volume that last year's records undoubtedly will be dwarfed.” said R. A. Hayes. Indianapolis branch manager. "Present indications lead us to believe that business conditions are going to show continued, steady improvement throughout the year.” Indianapolis Ford dealers, said Mr. Hayes, are enjoying greatly increased business this year, and expect the dealer open house which is being conducted at all Ford dealer's salesrooms to arouse renewed interest in the display of Ford products. Special efforts have been made by Indianapolis dealers in connection with the dealer open house this week, Mr. Hayes reported. Each Indianapolis dealer has installed unusual displays, and has placed lecturers on the showroom floor to describe the unusual features of the new cars. Complete displays of 1935 Ford V-8 cars and trucks are being shown by all dealers, in addition to the many unusual and educational exhibits. "Ford’s scheduled production in the United States for February of 130.000 units is a definite indication of the strong upward trend of business,” said Mr. Hayes. "We are observing this upswing in the Indianapolis branch territory through increased sales by our dealers, and have every reason to feel that 1935 is going to be one of our biggest years.”

PRESIDENT OF HUPP RESIGNS William J. McAneeny Also Served in Position of General Manager. By Times Special DETROIT, Feb. 13—William J. IvlcAneeny, president and general manager of Hupp Motor Car Corp., resigned his position at a meeting of the board of directors of the corporation here.

A. Hebert, Chicago. Mr. Hare formerly was executive vice president of Packard Motor Car Cos. and president of Packard Motor Car Cos. of New York. At present he is head of a large financial institution. Mr. Beall, one of the leading consulting engineers in the country, was the first vice president in charge of manufacturing of Packard. Mr. Hebert long has been identified with the merchandising field, more recently giving his time to financial activities. SHIPMENTS SHOW GAIN Nash and Lafayett Business Best Since January, 1929. By Times Special KENOSHA, Wis., Feb. 13.—Factory shipments of Nash and Lafayette cars during January were the largest of any January since 1929. n h. Bliss, vice president and director of sales of the Nash Motors Cos., points to a large bank of unfilled orders on hand at the Racine and Kenosha factories as of Feb. 1, as an indication of the retail activities for the Nash and Lafayette lines. Production schedules for both plants, Mr. Bliss announces, will be considerably higher than they w'ere during February, 1934. Pistons Changed An important automotive development in 1935 is the new piston design in Hudsons and Terraplanes. One of four piston rings is placed below the wrist pin, providing a better oil seal. This is the first time this feature has been incorporated in an aluminum alloy low expansion piston. Autos Steel Roofed Engineers have been trying for 15 years to use an all-steel roof on an all-steel body. For 1935 all Hudson and Terraplane cars have this feature. It provides greater safety and rigidity.

SPRING MOTION RED I CED De Soto Equipped on Basis of HuMan Periodicity. Springs on the 1935 Airflow De Soto are so designed that their motions are at the rate of 90 to 100 a minute, instead of 125 a minute as in ordinary cars. The normal rate of walking is from two and one-half to three miles an hour or about 90 to 100 steps a minute. De Soto springs are attuned to this “normal human periodicity.”
