We're being cheated when we buy our cars, but we like It! ; The reason Is that the cheat- ing causes our cars to appear -4 lower and sleeker. This is done by using "cheat lines," says R. H. ' Dietrich, noted body designer. In the design of the car. . A molding around the body and extending to the radiator, the wider the better, makes the car look low, he : says. The curvature ot the root also produces this effect, and when the windows are wider than they are high, the illusion of low appearance Is increased. - Butte President, V. L.
