SAY MOTOR CARS NEED INSPECTION AS SPRING NEARS Motor and Equipment Associa- tion Says Overhauling Now Will. Save Money ‘The hard wear and tear of winter) driving makes a thorough inspection of the automobile more desirable at | this time of the year than at any other season, according to a bulletin received here from the lotor and Equipment association. “In line with our nation-wide pro- | T; gram to point out to motorists ways and means of getting greater value out of their cars,” the bulletin states, | “we are urging our dealer members to recommend inspection to all car | owners in their community.” “This inspection should cover everything that has to do with the car's performance, its appearance, its safety, and its riding comfort Ad-| justment or replacement of wo! parts, removal of blemishes in ap- Clutch, Hand Brake, Carburetor, pearance caused by hard winter driv- | ing, and the possible addition of; needed accessories will immediatel, repay the owner in increased satisfac: tion. “The real value of inspection, how- ever, comes from the elimination of serious accidents or breakdowns which might result from undetected minor ills, This saving, plus the less rapid depreciation of a well-kept car, will definitely lower the fiscal cost of au- tomobile ownership.” The Captial Chevrolet company, Copelin Motor company, Fleck Motor company, and Corwin-Churchill Mo- tors, Inc., are Bismarck members of the association. UNSAFE DRIVERS The American Automobile Associ- ation estimates more than 500,000 new drivers who are a potential men- ace to life and property are admitted on public highways of the United States. This is because they do not have to undergo a test for a driver's license. TO WORLD'S FAIR Special highways that will by- pass the built up and congested areas of Chicago, and costing about $30.- 000,000, will be constructed to accom- modate visitors during the World's Fair there in 1933. ‘Wiitye Sts ee eneeneel SAPETY GLASS NEW WILLYS CARS A BIG SEX, priced ike a four A POWERFUL EIGHT A BRILLIANT KNIGHT 23 NEW WILLYS TRUCKS e ‘Willys Fight - + ‘Wittys -ton chassis .

They list a few of these as fol- lows: The clutch plate of the new Great- | er Hudson Eight now is formed from duralumin, a metal alloy which com- | bines lightness of aluminum with the | strength of steel. The lighter weight | has the effect of causing the clutch plate topractically cease spinning when the clutch pedal is depressed, this preventing gear clashing andthe ne- cessity of pausing between shifts and also renders the shift practically noiseless.

The carburetor is fitted with a self- ates dust or other foreign material from the air stream before it can en- ter the carburetor or engine. In the dual fiow automatic system employed, every working part in the engine is submerged in a bath of cool oil. The oil is prevented from enter- ing the combustion chambers by means of the unique piston and ring | construction developed by Hudson en- gineers. Accoustical pads of weather-seal- ing jute are cemented to dash, cowls, coor panels, rear and quarter panels, toe boards, front compartment floor boards, and between the rear seat cushion and floor, preventing body rumble and providing weatherproof interiors. Weather stripping at the bottom of doors has been changed to felt, resulting in a noiseless positive weather ‘seal. ‘The new engine is of the moderate speed type, developing its maximum horsepower of 87 at 3600 R.

CHOKING DEVICE, | | Facilitates Starting and Greatly Improves Handling When Motor Is Cold Among the new developments in the Essex Super Six is an automatic choking device which is combined with a by-pass into the manifold, proves the handling of the car when the engine is cold. ‘Phe jet, which supplies gasoline to the by-pass when the dash choke control is out acts as the low speed jet when the choke is in. ‘This jet terminates in the main air Passage and operates throughout the entire engine speed range. The new by-pass introduces the proper mix- ture of gasoline and air into the in- take manifold at high velocity and is one of the contributing factors to the great acceleration exhibited by the | engine at all speed ranges.
