The most popular model was the deluxe coach, with the deluxe se dan, the highest priced car in the Otdsmobile line running second, slightly outselling (he standard coach, the lowest priced closed car. The sale of btandard and sport touring cars are about equal, duo to the largeAt export demand for the standard open cars. OldsmobUe was one of the first companies to recoirnize the trend toward fully equipped cars, and mo;e than a year atto it standard l.ed on all accessories. They were selected and designed to conform to Olds mobile's requirements, and are attached to the cars on the as sembly Jine. Thus tha accessory's Are integral parts of the finished 'car. j The Increasing demand for the '(kluxo models shows that the. mo j loriag public recognizes the neces sity for thuao accessories that Just a Fhnrt time ago were regarded a luxuries. From the present trend lit is likely that In the not far dis tant future practically every car. sold will be equipped with front ' .and rear bumpers, anubbors, moto I meter, spot light, automatic wind shield cleaner, rar view Tiiirror, kick plates, gastdine gauge, lug gage trunks and rack.
