CITY DEALERS ‘DIVIDED ABOUT '40 AUTO SHOW

Directors to Vote on: Aug. 23; Johnson Named to Directors’ Board.

At 10 a. m. on Aug. 23, directors of the Indianapolis Auto Trade As-| sociation will meet at 928 N. Merid- | lan St. to consider this question: Shall Indianapolis have an auto- | mobile show this year? In 1939, for the fist time in| years, no show was held. Too many dealers balked. i] Some of them felt that the out-| lay of about $1000 a dealer to cre- | ate a really good dispiay was too much for the return experienced. ! Others contended the public was | fed up with paying 40 cents to see

something they later were expected |

to buy. A few believe the idea has] run its course, that autos no longer are enough of a novelty for people | to pay to see them. Before the directors vote on| whether a show is to be held, they

sound out their fellow dealers so! |

that the vote is the consensus «of | the majority. This year, some dealers again oppose the show idea. One of the! largest car manufacturers will not | Participate, its dealers say, unless the admission charge is dropped. Other dealers insist such a move! would be too e¢ostly. They just] couldn't afford to spend the neces-| sary $1000, more or less, it would | take to pull in the spectators. In|

the last show in 1038, they point

out, the attendance was about] 19,000 for the week. Back in the! food old days it was far above this and the percentage of buyers was! enough greater than the lookers to make the show pay sales dividends. | Thus the question stands. Dealers | on both sides have good arguments | to support their stand. Next Fri-| day's meeting will see which side is the more persuasive.

New Director Named

At a meeting of the Trade Assocl- | ation this week, the directors elected | R. D. Joianson a director to succeed | Browning Gent. Mr. Johnson is| president of Johnson Chevrolet Co. | Mr. Gent heads Browning Gent Co., | Inc.

70 CHANGES FOR '41 BUICK LISTED.

Compound Carburetion and ‘Fireball’ Cylinder Design Are Included.

DETROIT, Aug. 16 (U. PP) —All automobile assembly lines are rapidly swinging into high gear on 1941} model production and soon the pub(lie will get its first peek at new lereations in engineering and style. | | Interest in the automotive field [in the 1940-model year brought sen- | |sational sales up through June and

|July—the usual tapering-off months

| —and the 1941 field is expected to: [sell even faster. jeneral belief. is [that 3.500.000 cars will roll off the assembly lines, a 10 per cent in-, [crease over the last model year. | "Three auto companies held press |previews this week and Willys will day. ‘Torpedo’ Style Popular Based on these showings, the rend apparently will be toward further streamlining of the “torpedo” type, slightly longer qver-all lengths, a new accent on color harmony and engine developments giving greater power and more economy. Buick keynoted the 1041 parade Tuesday at Flint, revealing that it was planning to build a minimum of 300,000 units, far more than its record-breaking 283.204 last season Buick has more than 70 changes in the 1941 job, some of the most

Horsepower Increased Compound carburetion, which feeds more mixture at speeds above 80, has along with the fireball design helped increase horsepower in Buicks to 115 in the Special, 125 in the Super and 165 in the Century, Roadmaster and Dimited.
