resulted in increased production

Americun inotorintf tUaii de C'iusse
the eminent Kuropean deslirner,
whose Hueeess In styling the new
Krankiln hus made Jils name so
I'a miliar to -Americans this year,
ills ohservnlluns- of the trend in
chuufleur-driven automobiles Jiave
heen made the basis of this article
in which ho outlines the definite
owner requirements- leading1 up to
all enclosed chaul'l'eur-driven .Lim
ousine now coining into general
use.)
The Increasing number of chauffeur-employing
families in recent
years, who have been using tho se
dan us a chiiuffeur-drlven enr, Jn
dlcitjes plainly the demund for an
automobile which in seating ca
pacity and general chanact eristics
in much like the sedan, but which
affords, if desired, complete pas
senger privacy when the chauffeur
drives, and is at tho same time
.suitable fur family use with Home
member of the family .ft the wheel.
Quick conversion from owner to
chauffeur driving in thus one of
tho rerfuired features, provided in
a moveable glass partition be
tween fronL and rear compart
mcntn. The uwkwardneMs of the
sedan as a chauffeur-driven ear is
thus completely avoided. . Hence,
the new typo of nutoinobile known
a.s the JCnclo-sed-Drive Limousine,
rtiis met with wide-spread favor.
The ear is pariicuhtrly dexlrabln
because of its adaptability to a
wide range of service, being as
suitable for town or touring use
s it ts for chauffeur or owner
driving.
To meet the average owner re
quirements, the specifications of
the Knclosed-Drive Limousine call
for a five-passenger closed car of
moderate size with two folding
seats for emergency use. a glass
partition between front and rear
compart ments provides passenger
privacy, while the auxiliary seals
give even better sociability for pas
sengers than the chauf feur-diiven
sedan. In connection with the aux
iliary seats, it ts Important that the
pasaeiiKcra be brought log"Uior in
a companionable group. The bent
eTfeet In this respect Is obtained
where occupants of tho auxiliary
aeats can obtain maximum sociabil
ity by turning in 1 lie direction of
rear seat occupants. In this way
awkwardness is completely re
moved. In designing city car one must
not fowl the external conditions
which hnve influenced hc trend to
the moderately - sized ch.niffeur
drKen par. I refi r to ths traffic
conditions prevailing in practic
ally all cities and tho oVarth of
put king facilities.
It Is In the Knctosed-Irive Urn-
Jn'SM that the populurlty of this
car originates, for In addition to
its serviceability for city purpose.
It is the Ideal chauffeur-driven car
for Ionic tours.
Touring with a chauffeur at the
wheel in one of the greatest de
lights of American motoring, and
the sense of relaxation tliut emm-a ;
with the use of the Kncosed-!rlve
I.tmoiisine Is particularly complete,
liven in the matter of the control
of air currents, the car affords nn
ucli.rituK'. The window at the
chauffeur's hit may be opened us
ts so often essential for driving
safety, yet no gusts of wlni can i
affect the occupants of the rear!
eat because the glass par' H Ion
cuts off the air currents complete
ly. Thus ventilation as desired i
regulated, the windows or the rear
compartment giving nil lh.; air that
may be desired. On a hot sum
mer day the glass partition between
.thtii .ti'OmiKU'tti!cnls t be lowered
all the way down if need In, and
the full bene) it of free blowing air
enjoyed.
As a type, the Enetosed-Drive
Limousine also meets perfectly
another requirem-n). that has de
veloped among a lare percentage
of quality car ii.t'-rs. I refer to the
tendency of many folks to employ
clmut feurs only on special occa
sions such as of an evening or for
a long tour. A turn of the handle
make the division between chauf
feur and passenger compartments
complete und suits the car for use
on the most formal occasions.
