A distinguished automobile for family use in town and on the road is this 150 horsepower seven-pas-senger Lincoln V-12 sedan for 1936. The interior is unusually spacious. Two large auxiliary seats fold out of | sight, when not in use. Refinements and mechanical design are presented in the 1936 Lincoln.

lenite inserts between the leaves to give control of friction without lubrication; super-hydraulic brakes are standard equipment and airwheels are also available without extra cost. The all-steel Aeroform body is comfortable for six passengers. Two body types, a Victoria and four-door sedan, both six-passenger models equipped with built-in trunk, are available on either the 125-inch wheelbase Ambassador Six or the Ambassador Eight. Motor Is Sealed With the first appearance at automobile shows of the new Nash “4C0,” Nash introduces a monitor-sealed motor. Hundreds of previously essential parts have been eliminated in its construction, including all exterior manifolding, and because the outside of the engine is so free from gadgets and miscellaneous fittings all operating parts are easily accessible. This, it is claimed, greatly reduces engine maintenance costs. Both the standard series and the de luxe series of the 1936 “40” are priced between the Lafayette, Nash entry in the lowest price bracket, and the new 1936 Nash Ambassador line. Six models—sedan, touring sedan with trunk, coupe and rumble seat

LINCOLN V-12 FOR 1936 IS ANNOUNCED

Call New Flying Cloud ‘America’s Finest Six’,

Car Designed to Appeal to Broader Market, Makers Declare. Anew Flying Cloud, termed America's Finest Six” by factory officials, is Reo's offering for 1936. This car was designed to appeal to a broad market—while it possesses every fine-car feature; is big, luxurious, quick on the get-aw'ay and a smooth-running performer at high speeds, it is nevertheless inexpensive to buy and own, asserted J. J. Malarky of Reo Indiana Sale Cos., local distributors. Four models are offered in a variety of colors. These include the Four Door De Luxe Sedan, the Four Door Standard Sedan, the De Luxe Brougham and the Two Door Coach. Prices range from $795 for the coach to $895 for the De Luxe Sedan. Overall length is 193 inches.

coupe, victoria and touring victoria with trunk—make up the line. In addition a cabriolet is available in the de luxe series only. Wheelbase is 117 inches and the six-cylinder motor has a rating of 90 horsepower. Fewer Parts Needed While the new “400” introduces other innovations in motor car design, the “Monitor Sealed” motor is perhaps the most revolutionary and significant. Only two castings, the cylinder block and cylinder head, are required in its construction. Intake exhaust and oil manifolds are cast within the block, thus eliminating hundreds of bolts, nuts, washers, screws, cotter pins, gaskets, tubing and other items having no direct relation to engine operation.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Many new refinements combine to give this car its title of “America’s Finest Six.” Among these is the complete steel body with separate steel roof panel. The many advantages of an all-steel body, such as added safety for passengers, greater durability, etc., are available to Flying Cloud owners. But more than that, Reo now brings to discriminating buyers advantages never before available in a complete steel body. Following out the six-passenger principle first adopted by Reo, folding seats in the De Luxe Brougham are specially constructed to give complete comfort to the middle passenger when three persons ride in front. This is done by designing the seats so that an unbroken line is maintained across the back—thus there is no discomforting “ridge” in the middle. Additional roominess is made possible by placing the hand brake on the left side and moving the gearshift lever forward.

NEW LINCOLN CALLED ‘MOTOR CAROFFUTURE’ Floor Only 12 Inches From Road; Unorthodox Chassis. The Lincoln-Zephyr, newest entry in the medium-priced field which has been the subject of speculation in the automobile industry for more than a year, makes its debut in Indianapolis at the automobile show, State Fairground. The car, powered with a 110 horsepower V-12 engine, is the product of the combined resources of the Ford Motor Cos. and the Lincoln Motor Cos. In appearance, the Lincoln-Zephyr is completely streamlined. Fundamentally its lines, and to some extent its modern interior treatment, were suggested by the “Motor Car of the Future,” inspected by hundreds of thousands of visiters to the Ford Exposition at the Chicago World Fair last year. No Orthodox Chassis According to A. C. Steger, Lincoln division manager for this territory, it is the first car produced on the American continent to have no orthodox chassis or chassis frame. The car comprises an all-steel “bridge truss” body of extraordinary strength, in which the engine is mounted and to which the running gear is attached. The new car is light in weight in proportion to its power. Its center of gratify is unusually low. The floor is only twelve inches from the road. Because of its unusual design the Lincoln-Zephyr will be available in closed body types only. A two-door sedan and a four-door sedan are offered initially. No Running Boards In exterior appearance the Lin-coln-Zephyr is graceful and smoothly contoured. Fender lines blend into the wide central section of the body. There are no conventional running boards. These are replaced by narrow, rubber-covered side

buffers with polished metal edges. The lowness of the “curb level" floor permits entrance to the car directly. There is no conventional hood. Instead the top of the engine compartment, formed like an engine hatch, lifts from the front on springbalanced hinges. The engine is so designed that all maintenance work j upon it may be performed either from the top or bottom. * The spring suspension system is basically similar to that used in Ford V-8 cars. Transverse cantilever springs are used, giving the body a two-point mounting. Springs are supported on perches forward of the front axle and rearward of the rear axle, the wheelbase being 122 inches and the springbase 133 inches. Springs have tapered leaves and are covered with segmented steel spring covers which permit permanent lubrication. Seated ’tween Axles The center-poise system of spring suspension is employed to provide maximum car balance and correct car weight and passenger weight distribution. Seats are located in a more central position behind the axles, giving both front and rear seat passengers the utmost in riding comfort. * The engine, built in the Lincoln plant, is a V-12 of new design. The cylinder block, including banks, exhaust passages, crankcase and flywheel housing, is cast in one unit, permitting greater rigidity and a cleaner design. The cylinders are set at 75 degrees angle. Cylinder dimensions are 2 a i inches bore by 3% inches stroke. Piston displacement is 267 cubic inches, compression ratio, 6.7-to-l. S. A. E. rating is 36.3 horsepower, actual brake horsepower developed being listed at 110 at 3900 r. p. m. plymouthTengines" WARM UP QUICKLY Automatic Manifold Control Is Helpful in Cold Weather. New Plymouth engines warm up faster in cold weather as the result of automatic manifold heat control. With this feature operating during the warm-up period, part of the hot exhaust gases in the engine are passed around the intake manifold to heat the fuel mixture before it reaches the combustion chamber. The possibility of raw gasoline going into the cylinders is reduced to a minimum.

Brakes Operate From Panel The 1936 Buick emergency brakes operate directly through cables to the rear wheels with the brake handle conveniently attached under the instrument panel to the left of the driver.
