Tbo Reo will eontlnuo Us six and four of last year for th coming sea son. Thoro aro a number of Improve ment, however, in th car as compared i with a year ago. On the six there la an entirely new body, with sloping windshield, auxiliary seat which now slides Into the back of the front seat. sew pleated upholstery In place of the tufted, and better equipment, such as . robe eords on the backs of the front seats and a top which is rounded off ; In the rear, riving a limousine effect. There Is also more seating room tn this car, the body .being two inches wider at the "point of Juncture of the wind shield. Mechanically few changes have fceen made. The engine has been pro Tided with more complete methoU of , heating the sir, and the inlet lifter '; mechanism has been improved, so that : there is better guide alignment for the roller follower. ' , The crankshaft diameter has been increased somewhat and now trans mite the drive through the new form of thermo coupling, which la placed '.'between the motor and gearaet. On the ' electrio system the new Remy thermo i tatlc regulation Is used. Throughout the chassis no changes of Importance will be noted. Here and there little details have been altered, such as on the rear axle more forglngs are uaed, particularly at the spring hangera. The Ravfleld carburetor has been adopted. Oa the four the body has been un changed and the chassis has not been ' altered materially. The power plant baa a few detailed alterations, such as fins on the exhaust pipe to pre-heat : the air, the aame valvexjlfter improve ment aa la on the six, and an improved type of Johnson carburetor. The clutch , bushings are now oiled positively and the new thermotd disk coupling has been placed between the motor and gearaet. The four also has the Remy lighting system, with thermostatic regulation. The car is one- of the attractive mod els In the display of the Northwest ' Auto company. Ij. II. Reese of the local Packard representatives, at the wheel of the new Packard four-passenger tonrabout. It is one of the most. distinctive bodies to appear on the twin six chassis. and the gas passages axe cored within the casting. Heretofore, the carburetor was on the left. Similar to the Four, Wagner starting and lighting is now used on the Six. There is also a change in the Ignition, the Remy distributor being uaed in place of the former ignition system, with the drive taken vertically off the camshaft at the center of the engine at the right side. To Increase the life of the valve springs they are now made of chrome-vanadium steel, which greatly Increases their resist ance against fatigue. Another ohassls change on the Six is the Increase of the' brake drum sise from 11 to IS Inches. A point of interest on the Saxon Is that It is one of the few cars using patent rings on the piston's aa stock, each piston being fitted with a Burd high compression ring at the top, below which there are two ooncentrlc rings. i At the Portland show, the Saxon will be found In the booth of Houk, Beasely fc Walker, the local representatives. are also removable. The Braly Auto company is showing the Scripps-Booth in a beautifully fin ished color Job. SCRIPPS-BOOTH ATTRACTIVE SAXON FOUR AND SIX BETTER Certain Alterations' Noted That Make for Improvement.' The Saxon Four la shown this year with certain exterior alterations and : there have been a number of changes mechanically which are significant. In (the Six the most important alteration lis the increase of the crankshaft to a .""diameter of two Inches. Another im portant change in the Six is the shlft f lng of the carburetor from the left, or .valve side, to the right side, where it attaches directly to the cylinder block. Improvements Make for Beauty and Accessibility. Unusually attractive body lines char acterizes the Scripps-Booth, which Is noted for Its easy riding qualities and fine appointment. The four-cylinder runabout is unchanged in line, being identical with the original car of this model brought out two years ago. The eight-cylinder follows the same style of design, but Is naturally somewhat different because it carries a four-pas senger body with divided front seat. In the eight the windshield Is slightly tilted. One of the features of both four and eight-cylinder motors Is the easy ad justment of the inclosed overhead valves, this being accomplished by turning a nut protruding through the top of the cover plate after the oil cap has been removed. Consequently, the valve may be adjusted while the motor is running. Accessibility is a feature of both eight and four. The latter has the car buretor mounted high where it is read ily reached. The only other unit on this side of the motor Is the starter and it Is easy to Inspect or remove it. On the other side of the motor is the distributor and coil at the front and generator further back. It is easy to inspect, adjust or remove any pf these units. To scrape out carbon it is sim ply necessary to take off the cylinder bead. Removing carbon from the eight Is a simple matter because the heads NEW BTUDEBAKER FEATURES I Six Improvements tn Four and Good Selling Point. "Both four and six-cylinder Btudeba ker models are wonderfully improved.) from the dealers' standpoint, in that they have many additional points which mar be regarded as strong sell ing features. Mechanically the cars are about the same. From an exterior standpoint the most striking feature is the use of a gun-metal finish, which calls for 25 separate operations. Ths fenders are black, and these 'colors combine to make a very striking job. Unusually comfortable auxiliary seats are provided. They are large. well upholstered and are provided with arms, and instead of disappearing into the floor or back of the front seat. which is difficult with a divided aisle moaei, tney ioia nnaer tne rear seat. Putting the seat in place is the work of a moment. , The body has been improved in sev eral small particulars. Pads are now used on the doors. Upholstery is semi glazed, straight-grain, genuine leather, with curled hair, and the tonneau car pet is woven and bound with leather. The top is silk mohair with leather edging, and a new Tale switch lock of the pin tumbler type has been added to guard against theft. The headlamp mounting has been Improved both in . appearance and strength. The lamps are now held by brackets, which are riveted to the fen ders, and the wiring comes up througn the center of the bracket. They are mounted on ball and socket joints and are adjustable, so that ths point at which the "light strikes the road may be changed. ' Mechanically the improvements are very slight. Probably the most im portant is the reduction of 12 per cent in the weight of the pistons, mak ing them five ounces lighter. Thus vibration has been reduced.
