‘SOFTER RIDE' IS ENGINEERED BY HUDSON CD. Front Spring Suspension Also Provides Added Steering Ease. Rertylrd for 1936. the new Hudson sixes and eights incorporate five new engineering features. Both the six-cylinder and eight-cylinder .models are different in appearance. .•The new sloping front grille pre*rnts a modern appearance. According to R. H. Losey, president of Losey Motors. Inc., HudsonTerraplane distributor for the Indi-

anapolis territory, the five basic new engineering developments which are to be found on the Hudson cars this year include radial safety control, a new system of front end design. Because of this new front end system an entirely new and softer front spring can

be used, giving rise to a. better ride. It also results in new steering control which Hudson has called tru-line steering. Draft Eliminated Another of the five new engineering features on the Hudsons is the automatic draft eliminator, by means of which all of the air coming into the car, in connection with the year-round ventilation system, is controlled and screened. The fifth improvement is duoautomatic hydraulic braking, in which a complete hydraulic braking system is backed up by an emergency mechanical system which is ever on guard to take up the work of braking the car should emergency arise. Inspection of the new models will reveal anew interior. Seated at the steering wheel, the driver has an entirely new layout of control units. The instrument board faces him. There is an improved adaptation of the “electric hand,” which proved so success' on Hudson cars during 1935. Th> i arc a V type windshield and a lr , easy release on the parking braive. One-Piece Top Structurally the body has been improved by the use of a. one-piece steel top instead of the flange type employed in last year's cars. The steel body is produced on presses which are the last word in sheet metal development. Entirely new equipment was added to produce the 1936 steel body. For example, the die alone used for the steel roof panel weighs 147,000 pounds. “Radial safety control,” which so materially improves steering and stopping, derives its advantages from the fact that the front axle in its rise and fall moves in a true circular path. This is so because the. centers about which the front axle swings are fixed by two drop-forged torque rods. The introduction of these torque rods removes from the springs all duties of driving the front end and of absorbing brake torque. Hudson chassis are longer, wider, stronger and more rigid. With three inches added to the wheelbase and with the tread at the rear increased from fifty-six to fifty-seven and one-half inches, a broader and longer foundation for the body is provided.

Now That You Can See Them All —MATCH PACKARD T2O AGAINST THE FIELD/ Y OU who will buy new cars in 1936 are indeed fortunate. No matter which price field you turn to, you will find excellent cars to choose from. There never was a time when the automobile buyer was offered so much for his money. Yet Packard, a company that for 35 years has been known for conservative statement, today issues this sincere invitation . . Match Packard 120 against the field. e believe you owe it to yourself to make this comparison, regardless of the price of the car you are now contemplating. AND SO EASY TO BUY The new Packard 120 is within the financial reach of almost everyone who will buy anew 1936 car. If your old car is of average value, it should cover the down payment on anew Packard 120. And Packard’s Pavment-out-of-Income Plan is one of the most liberal in the industry.

POLITENESS AND SAFETY IN NEW DODGE AUTO

—— . Lj

When owners of the new 1936 Dodge, four-door sedan, which is shown here, drive out at night, their headlights will assure them greater safety, because they have masked bulbs that guide the beams straight ahead and prevent dazzling the eyes of approaching motorists. Further to assure safety, the cars have improved spring suspension, easier steering control and stronger frames.

Nation in Buying Mood, Says Motor Firm Head Industry and Man in Street Agree You Will Find Upward Swing in Business Everywhere You Look. America is in a mood for spenuing. Whether you take your index from charts of car loadings and blast furnace production or by talking to the man in the street you find that the upward swing of the business cycle, which started slowly nearly three years ago, has so gained in momentum that the average American now feels that the “rainy day ’ for which he has hoarded and saved has come and gone, said Byron C. Foy, president of De Sot.o Motor Corp., today. “With this return of confidence has come a desire to buy and have the necessities and luxuries which were denied during the five dark depression years.

First to Feel Urge ‘ The automobile business was the first major industry to feel the effect of this buying urge. In 1934 the market for new cars, frozen for nearly three years, began to thaw. The lowest-priced cars were the first to feel the effects of America’s renewed purchasing power. America needed new transportation, but it was still cautious. “Transportation, at the lowest price possible, was the demand. The last year has seen the manufacturers of the low price cars roll a vast number of units off their production lines, but 1935 has witnessed a marked ‘buying up’ tendency as well. The sales of the cars which offered additional luxury, performance and safety have hit new highs during the last 12 months. “Indications are that the swing

to the cars in the style field will continue. The great interest shown in developments throughout the country in the new body and ride ipmrovements, and the indisputable fact that the average American is again displaying a pride of ownership in his automobile, are definite signs of this trend. “More than ever before in the automobile business 1936 will be a style year. As the average prospect is now taking excellent mechanical performance for granted, the choice lies more and more in the details of comfort and beauty of the cars.” Tires Damaged A drop of a few pounds in tire pressure quickly affects tread wear, as the edges are subjected to a scuffing of wiping action.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TRACTOR PILOT FACES CHARGE OF SPEEDING Montana Arrest Is Believed First of Kind. The arrest of a tractor driver on a speeding charge, believed to be the first on record, is reported by field representatives of the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation. The vehicle, said to be making 45 miles an hour, was of anew high compression type, powered with leaded gasoline and equipped w-ith rubber tires, head lights, radio and* horn. In the course of a demonstration attended by farmers, the driver was given a summons by Montana state highway patrolmen on a road near Billings. The tractor had been undergoing tests of fuel performance in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana. Battery Hint It is a good practice to add distilled water to a battery at least once every two weeks.

ease-handling in driving; ride stabilizer, eliminating sway when rounding curves at high speeds; advanced engines of 90-horse power in the six and 100-horse power in the eight; hardened aluminum pistons and | synchro-mesh transmission, providing quiet, easy shifting in all gears, including low and reverse. New Radiator Grille The new radiator grille combines with extra large bumpers and bumper guards to add greatly to appearance. The grille is mounted so as to make the radiator accessible. Front-end treatment is entirely new. Headlamps are mounted high. The hood extends forward all the way to the grille. New-ly styled louvres blend into the harmony of line which characterizes the 1936 Oldsmobile. Parking lights, mount-

ed on the front fenders, are standard on the eight. Interior fittings also mark the car. Seats are more comfortable because of refinements in cushions and upholstery. The instrument panel, finished in a Brazilian rosewood treatment, is styled in modern manner. Seats Are Wider In the five-passenger coupe and touring coupe models the full-width sedan-type seats with split backs are wider. "Our 1936 cars are the finest Oldsmobiles ever built.” said D. E. Ralston. vice president and general sales manager. “We have adhered Strictly to the Oldsmobile policy of including in our cars every feature wffiich is essential to a quality product, and which is necessary to gee the maximum of comfort, economy, performance and safety. “We have improved and refined the appearance. We have improved and refined the features which have made Oldsmobile the ’car that has everything.’ We have added new features, new comforts, new styling. And while doing this we 'have announced new low prices. Oldsmobile is priced v-ithin reach of nine out of 10 motor car buyers.”

MOTOR AND CAR SPEED PUT ON SAME DIAL Chrysler Engineers Design Instrument to Make Easy Driving. By an arrangement of the figures on the large easy-to-read dial, Chrysler engineers have made the Airflow speedometer do double duty. Like other speedometers, it tells the driver at a glance the speed in miles per hour that his car is traveling. In addition, it tells him the number of revolutions the engine is making each minute in driving the car In conventional third gear, and in overdrive, at the speed indicated. Thus the speedometer becomes a constant reminder of the savings in fuel, oil and engine wear that the overdrive makes possible by reducing engine speed 30 per cent. As the needle advances its threearrow points direct the eye to three sets of figures. The largest figures, nearest the rim, indicate miles per hour car speed, the next figures, engine revolutions per minute in conventional drive, and the inner figures engine revolutions per minute in overdrive.

ANTI-PERCOLATOR ON HUDSON CARBURETOR Designed In Prevent Vapor Lock In Final Bowl. The Hudson car carries the new Carter carburetor fitted with an antipercolating device, designed to prevent vapor lock in the float bowl. There is a spring loaded needle valve in the float bowl which opens when the throttle is closed, permitting vapor to escape. With the downdraft type of carburetor, particularly in hot climates and at high altitudes, difficulty has often been found in restarting the car after a stop. Percolation or oubblir.g of the boiling fuel m the float bowl has been the cause. The anti-percolating device removes the cause of this difficulty.
