EE WILLIAM WALKER, automobile designer, says of the car: “Just as the elimination of the running boards has provided more hoes inside the car so will future plastic models with rear-end engines

~ Offer 25 to 35 per cent more room than current cars.” Windows of this car will be of plastic glass and be set permanently in place. As clear as glass the plastic material admits health giving ultra-violet rays and excludes the harmful infra-red. ~~ As for strength, this was proved when an engineer in Detroit took ‘an ax and pounded on a Plastic car body without leaving a blemish. ‘Then, too, fast colors, molded into the plastic at the time of manufacture, will eliminate painting, chipping and rusting. f. Clyde Vandeburg of Packard Motors, who has- made a study of ‘plastics and is a champion of the material has this to say to the public: 4 “If you have been worrying about doing without a new car until the priorities on steel and other materials are withdrawn, you can stop right now. For plastics are coming to your rescue. Defense priorties may be imposed, overseas sources of raw materilas may be cut off + . but never has' America been better prepared to go forward producing w and superior materials -to take the place of the old.”
