The Seattle plan, If adopt | ed, would be more inclustve than the ones In use in any Pacific const city.

L, SISK PETROIT, Mich,, Aug. 30.—~There will be more autos than ever on the | highways next year, Motor car manufacturers are plan ning increased production with em. ployment of more men in and associated industries. Additional | plants are being erected by jentabiishments to care for the 1 trade and, following the lead of the | Ford company, extended advertising campaigns are being started. Prices remain about the same with no sensational changes contemplated by any manufacturer, | new models with v few exceptions. his plan calls for a straight je to the back of the tonneau. To m 6 it | possible radiators are higher, hoods |bave more conservat lines and | bodies aro cut down to reduce super |fiuous materials. Ay a whole, the jnew autos cling closer to the ground | with lengthened wheel bases bringing | the center of gravity more fully upon |the springs, ‘The low sitting car is | harder to turn over, reducing the ! tendency to skid and allowing easier manipulation on rough roads, Application of the four-wheel brake system to a number of the new mod- els and other transminsion and con- trol tmprovements make them safer and easier to handle in emergencies. NEW PLANTS AND ADVERTISING The Ford Motor Co. starts the new year with a $7,000,000 national adver- tising campaign, with plans for in- creased production to fully satisfy the demand for ita product. Application of the “stream line” to | the Ford is the outstanding feature jf the 1924 model. A higher radia- tor, an apron Joining the front fen- ders and improved body design are the principal changes, The coupe and roadster are lower, and especially show the application of the new de- jsign. Practically no ghanges are made in the Lincoln, Irfcreased pro- |@uction will feature this car's new year. Two new plants are nearing com- | pletion at the Dodge Brothers’ fac- | tory to help supply the tncreased de- mand. The Dodge advertising cam- paign, started several years ago, will | be continued. ‘The new Dodge plans j call for a 10-tnch longer wheel base, | lower body, weight distribution on |{mproved springs, higher radiators nd all-stee! stream line body, im- | proved instrument arrangements and more leg room for the driver, SOME CHANGES | ARE PLANNED Introduction of a new clai" is the only | Maxwell factor: | port spe- | thing new at the The Studebaker } company {s planning increase in pro- | duction in development of its special | | six. Longer wheel base, higher hood and radiator with stream line body “six.” Other models are | unchanged. Tho 1924 Buick represents prob- ably moro sensational changes in jconstruction design than any other car. Tho body is lengthened, with a} higher radiator and cowl. The rad! tor is completely remodeled. Its | hood has the appearance of an in- verted brace, similar to that of the Packard, General touches of artistic design- ing are added to the new car and ap- plied to the 24 Buick. Fifty per cent more power for the Buick engine {s claimed. The four wheel brake sys- tem Is adopted. CARS HAVE NEW MODELS Increased production also will re- sult in the Packard factory thru in- troduction of the new “single elght” model, This car has a 143-inch wheel base. Other Packard designs are un- changed, Introduction of the new seven-pas- senger Paige sedan is the only new design for the year, The sedan is neatly finished blue, with gold trimmings. One new mode! {s added to the Reo and Chalmers lines. The Reo intro- duces a low-sitting stream line tour- ing car, disc wheels and a lower top and body construction, give the new Chalmers sport model a sturdy ap- pearance. ‘To more fully carry out the stream in beveled edges replaced by curves. even types are changed to make them sturdier and to conform to new design. Weight distribution is changed with a longer wheel base. Tho roadster and four-passenger coupe are made with lower tops. The new Overland is made longer, lower and with more refined lines, including curved edges and stream lino steel body construction. Seats are lower and deeply cushioned.
