Everybody in Ford and in competing organizations knows that the zero hour is approaching for a battle royal. It will come next fall, when Ford unveils the 194H model the first created by his own organization under his leadership. Both in styl ing and in mechanical features Ford intend* to give all rivals something to shoot at. The details of any new automo bile are a jealously-guarded trade secret. Nobody at River Rouge is talking almut tic 19« Ford But a Jot of well-informed observers will lx surprised if it does not offer automatic or "cIutchlM*” trans mission. Only Genera) Motors has fully automatic transmission now. This । Is the hydromatic, offered in noth ing under the Oldsmobile. Chrys- h-r’s fluid drive is described by en- gini-ers as only semi-automatic. The new Ford dutChlcs* tranx- | mission, if observers are correct, 1 will have many lens parts than GM’s hydromatic. which will make it less expensive to manufacture and enable offering It on the lower priced cars. It will have no plates , at all, but will transmit its power ■ entirely through liquid, for ; smoother acceleration. Expeits say that all major manufactur« rs : arc working along similar lines, । and that whatever car you buy । probably will offer such transmis sion. as standard or optional equip- ; ment, before long. The new Ford is expectf-d to be lower and wider-bodied with wider scats Seats will be set further for ward, to get them between the springs for easier riding. This will require shortening the motor, which also may be lowef- in which case the shorter, lower hood will reduce part of that bad blind spot off the right front fender. Windows will be larger. Harold T. Youngren, who was with Oldsmobile when the auto matic transmission was intro duced, now is Ford’s vice-presi dent in charge of engineering. Thomas Hibbard, long famous as a builder of custom bodi«?s for the most expensive American and Eur opean cars, is in charge of a corps of cu-iom-t mined stylists. The University of Michigan has ’been finding out what women want in the way of fabrkts colors, panel arrangement, etc. From these is expected a brand new automobile—the first really now one since 19-11—that will bi? almost sensational. But state ments made by Youngren indicate that it will not be freaky. It will not be ’’tear-drop" shaped; it will not be all-aluminum or all-plastic; it will not have its engine in the rear, nor will it be di<?sel-powered. The V-8 motor will be continued, with refinements for economy, quiet operation and longer life. But the six-cylinder motor will be pushed, with double the present capacity for those who want lower fuel consumption and consider 70 to 75 miles an hour plenty of speed. Neither General Motors nor Chrysler will even hint what their answer to the Ford of Tomorrow is going to be. They are taking great pains to keep such informa tion from anybody who might let it leak out.
