ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG. OREGON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1929 THREE FORD TOWW SEDAN j records fall before essex J DISTINCTIVE CARi: , "Word from the automobile -shows at whicti the new Jord town sedan was presented revealed thai the designer of this new body type had achieved a signal, popular ue--cess," tiid ;. A. Xfockwuod, loei Ford dealer, -in discussing the dif ferent told body types. "The Ford sedan is a three-window automobile and Is one of the most luxurious, stylish ;and com fortable cars ver olfered in the low or medium priced field," he continued. "It should be disting uished from the new Ford town .car, the latter being the first - chauffeur-driven automobile munu lactured in tills country in the low or medium price field. The town sedan is an owner-driven car. "The body lines of the town se- dan are new. The design Is the product of one of the foremost cus tom body builders in America. This .car was developed for those who desire the convenience of mod derate size and the distinction of ' fine car construction. The body is mounted on the dependable mo del "A" chassis and the town se dan possesses the speed, accelera tion and performance that are fea tures of all the model 'A' Ford types. The town sedan body is longer than the other Ford passenger care and the interior is unusually roomy, making the car. a moat con venient kind of family conveyance, powered to meet the requirements of present day traffic conditions, in appearance it is imposing, pos sessing low, straight lines, which are emphasized by the smart, French roof quarters and the belt ed moulding which runs sharply back from the radiator and circles the entire body. It has four doors. "Nickeled headlights, door han dles, radiator and cowl lamps give touches of brightness to the town sedan. The interior accommodates live persons comfortably, even for long trips. Every appointment is in perfect keeping 'Ith the ?oar ensemble. Arm -rests odd to the comfort of the rear eat. . "In the rear compartment the floor is dropped to .provide full leg room. The center arm rest of the rear seat folds when its use Is not desired. This, briefly describes the new body type, which undoubt etdly will command the attention of a large number of people dur ing the coming year." ; 1 I 3- SALEM, Ore., June 5. Motorists who have been debating whether to license their automobiles dur ing the month of June find pay a' full year's fee therefore, or await the first of July and enjoy -the benefit of a half-year rule, will have their problem at Ittast par tially helped by an opinion of the attorney general, just rendered to S ecrotury of State Hobs, wherein It is held that -the new three-quarters license fee is applicable after the new laws go into -effect on June 4th. The last session of the legisla ture provided for a three-quarter fee to be paid after 3 months of the license year had elapsed, in addition to the present half year, and quarter year periods, -but it was not clear that the legislature intended the law to be effective this year. All indications point to the likelihood that the law-makers expected to have this new ar rangement go into effect along with the new mid-year date on July 1st, 1930. but the effect of the pro ceedings hiis been to Jet. the bnrs down for those .who seek licenses now. In commenting on the opinion of the attorney general, Secrotary of State Hoss said: "This construc tion will .serve to aid a great num ber of people who need to license their cars just prior to the date of the half-year fee. During 1928 Scenes on Muroo Dry Lake whero a stock Essex the Challenger Sedan was driven 1203.48 miles in 18 hoars at a speed of 66.86 miles per hour. At the top is Leon J.

The course which the car travel led was a 'measured five mile one, level and unbanked, in Muroc Dry Lake in the midst of the California Mojave desert. The runuing dis tance of 1,203 miles was covered partly in broiling sun and partly in a wind which at (.lines mounted to a veritable gale. "The run was made with the in tention of bceaking the only Known authentic speed record ever .made by a -stock 'sedan listing under $10UU on a lOUO-mUe course;' says Paul J. Feely, who conducted the run. "Essex, Veedol lubricated, came through with mileage and speed records which surpassed the old records of 60 miles per hour for exactly looo miles by a margin that has set niotordum agog, . "No car in the same price class as 'Essex, as far as is known, has ever been able to maintain any where near the peed of 66.86 miles per hour," continued Feely. "The most reliable and efficient lubrica tion being vital in protecting the speeding motor from overheating, Veedol motor oil was selected. ting ready to refuel on ono of the eight stops. The right center shows the Essex pass ing the starting point with Jean Shelton get ting the time. Below is a group of the drivers, pit men, mechanics, oewspaper men and officials. The San Francisco, Oakland -and Fresno auto editors who timed the dow fam ous run are at the right. The record is held to be a great tribute for Veedol motor oil and Associated Ethyl gas as weU as for the Essex. We used the - same 'Veedol 'heavy that the buyer getB at the, service station," Feely said. "The fact that the car tood up under such 'terrific pounding speaks vol-1 umes for the lubricating qualities of this motor oil." Veedol, proved in the air ' and chosen by -neatly every record breaking flyer .of importance, Is likewise the choice ot record break ing motorists who realize that the oil which Byrd, Chamberlin, Tex Haiikin, Amelia Earhart, Art Gos pel, Martin Jensen and a score of others whose names are famous, demand for their planes and motor cars, must have superior features or endurance and reliability wht're else equalled. our autumobtle department regis tered nearly three thousand cars, which ehowa that a great many persons cunnot wait to take ad vantage of the cheaper rates. This year, after the new law becomes' effective June 4th, persons apply ing for a license need only remit three-fourths, ot the regular ant nual license. For example, if the regular license is $40.00, the three fourths fee required during June will amount to 930.00. Next year, the advantage of this reduced rate will apply earlier in the license year. I regret that this informa tion could not huve been gotten to the public earlier hut the mat ter only recently came up for con sideration and the opinion of the atVoruey general was promptly se cured to ascertain the facts in the' case."
