{ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1931 i Victoria Model Is Newest of -. Many Types Offered by ¢ Ford in 1931 De Luxe body types, most of which hhave been introduced within the last year, will feature the exhibit of Ford cars in the Bismarck auto show, ac- cording to the Copelin Motor com- Pany, local dealer. Mounted on the Model A chassis, which has attained such world-wide popularity for speed, power, reliabili- | ity and economy of operation, these de luxe cars offer a wide range of body types that afford a new degree of comfort, luxury and beauty to the owner of a low-price car. As the name implies, the de luxe Fords are something out of the ordi- nary. From the rustless steel cowl lights, to the quality upholstery, satin finish hardware, toggle grips, robe rails, dome lights and other refine- ments, they reflect the tastes of dis- criminating motorists. Newest among the de luxe Fords | Tectly lighted. is the Victoria which is built along entirely new lines with a slanting DE LUXE TYPES TO FEATURE FORD DISPLAY AT AUTO SHOW | ble seat; the phaeton and the road- with seats for eight. An interesting thing about the Ford exhibit in the show is that, with the eception of the addition of de luxe cars, there are no radical changes in | models. In accordance with the com- | pany’s policy, improvements are in- corporated in the car as they are de- | veloped and no radical changes are decided upon until it is determined that they are fundamentally sound enough to be more or less perma- | nent.

Seven Models in Line Besides the Victoria, the Ford de luxe group includes the town sedan with three windows, the de luxe se- dan with two windows, the convert- ible cabriolet, a coupe, a phaeton and a roadster, In addition to the de luxe cars the Ford Motor company offers a choice of standard body types which are represented in the exhibition at the show. These include the Tudor, a coach type popular as a family car; the Fordor, a threewindow sedan; Thousands of Fords have been in use now under all sorts of weather condi- tions and the universal experience has been that the rustless steel radi- ator shells, hub caps, cowl strips and other exposed metal parts have re- tained their original lustre. Other features of the Ford which are being pointed out at the auto- mobile show are the five steel-spoke wheels, each of which is electrically welded into a single piece; the Hou- daille (pronounced hoo-dye) double- acting shock absorbers; the more than 20 ball and roller bearings; and ‘the coupe; the sport coupe with rum: PONTIAC GETTIN the numerous steel forgings. G FAVORABLE ATTENTION THROUGHOUT U. S. 60-Horsepower Car, Longer and More Beautiful, Hits ' Lowest Price Freshly styled for 1931 and present- ing new elements of grace, comfort and performance, the Pontiac Six is attracting favorable attention throughout the country for the in- creased values it is bringing to the low-priced field. It will be exhibited at the Bismarck Auto show by the Stair Motor company. Although longer and more beauti- fully proportioned than before, the big 60-horsepower car is offered at a base price below the minimum at which any Pontiac previously has been introduced. The longer wheelbase of 112 inches has permitted the designing of bodies which create a “close to the road” impression of low-swung length—the latest achievement of Fisher crafts- men. Among the external advancements in the new bodies are: chrome-plated screen which conceals and protects the radiator core; curved tie-bar sup- porting the new chrome-plated head Jamps; longer hood secured by elec- trie-plated handle locks; one-piece full crown fenders carrying indicator lamps similar to those introduced last. year on the Oakland Eight. The concave running board aprons carry a smcoth body contour to the aluminum-bound steel running boards, covered with moulded rubber. while the rear splash apron extends from fender to fender. Comfort Is Assured Greater passenger comfort has been attained through sealing by felt and rubber pads, the pedal and control op- enings, through heavy dash insulation which muffles road and engine sounds and keeps out motor heat by a felt-backed front floor mat. To render the body silent under road stresses, metal to metal contact has been eliminated where the body is joined to the frame through cush- ioning by 10 fabric-reinforced rubber pads, enveloping the 10 body bolts, five on each side. The four engine mountings likewise are insulated with rubber, while the new transmission drive has been redesigned to include a rubber hub of the type that has been so successful on the Oakland. This hub forms a barrier against the “telegraphing” of road and axle noises to the engine. New rubber shackle bushings not only make for car sl- lence and easy riding but at the same time eliminate 12 chassis lubrication Points. . ‘The newly developed semi-drop-base LO Auto Show Tire.

Install Larger Brakes Larger brakes have been installed to provide more certain contrul and greater safety. The drums of the four-wheel mechanical internal type brakes have been enlarged from 11 te 12-inch diameter, increasing the braking surface from 177 to 214 square inches, thus providing an add- ec braking reserve of 21 per cent. A new engine device called the air silencer, developed by the AC Spark Plug company, eliminates carburetor and manifold roar during high speed | operation. The cast iron transmis- sion support and a new fully en- closed fly-wheel housing which pro- vides @ rigid base for the transmis- sion combine to eliminate the possi- bility of mis-alignment between the transmissicn and the engine. At this Point an additional motor support cross member increases the rigidity of the heavier frame, now 17 per cent stronger vertically and 54 per cent stronger horizontally. A new and sturdier differential carrier housing and the new “big tooth” gears of the rear drive represent other factors which further increase reliability. The 1931 Pontiac is offered in six body types, the two- and four-door sedan, the four-door custom sedan, Convertible coupe.

The body styles conform with every possible need that a man or wom- an can have for a motor car. There are types ideally suited to the growing family, to business and professional men and women, to the boy or girl in high school or college. Notice particularly the variety of beautiful colors, the comfort of the spacious and deeply cushioned seats, the richness of trim and upholstery. Remember, too, that even more important than such features as ever-gleaming Rustless Steel and the shatter-proof glass windshield is the new Ford’s mechanical excellence.
