THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 12, 1923 :' euicnoDUCES ITS 1924 MODELS Startling Advances in Pow ., er, Control, and Economy; t'; ,j hour -Wheel Brake Introduced to the public today. the 1924 Buick cars offer renewed proof of the unreliabilitjr of rumor. For months gossip of what Buick would do on August 1st has boon . prevalent and often solemnly as serted by the wiseacres -as "n Rood uthorlty." Yet so little of it troves true," and so many1 complete " surprises characterize these" cars. that' Buick is being widely con gratulated on keeping ita secret no well. v ?V- There is no question that these Buick cars will be hailed as a sub- - stantial advance In automotive en gineering. but "It will be noted at , the same, time that the new fea lures are developments rather than : innoyatlonssi; evolutionary rather , . than revolutionary and consistent throughoaut with thoe Buick fundamental principles that 1 have endured through , twenty years of Buick manufacture. --With fifty per cent, more power claimed for Its famous, yalve-Inr . head six-cylinder engine, its suc ? is;ful external -brikesi extended la ttmr wheels in both sixes and fGursi a serially designed earburr , rior that ia heraldtd aa an eco nomical wonder, and Iftirallt doz- ? ens of other drjrf f4eits iajor and minor, Buick rove3 that its i engineering staff has been very mucu "oa the job.'f f - ' '.' ; The thousands who are Certain . to gee these cars in the leading ;fateia this week hand very soon F ia ihe show roomi of .air'.Buick - de iiersj-i-will firtt observe a " changa ia body lines,- undoubtedly influenced Iq a degree "by recent refinements ; jjn foreign design: . TL ua a more 'modish , appearance, even than the 1923 Buick, has ; been accomplished by a departure in radiator and hood contour on " both open and .closed bodies. This applies to both the six and four i cylinder models: of which there ' are fourteen body styles. " Tj'' ' Exterior, features! noted at first - glance' are tb new land handsome I bead lamps, nickeled radiator on ' the sixth, beaded hoods on the I fours, water- tight j hood hinge, I open hood support, newly designed cruwo leiiuers, a. more eiieciive -weather-proof windshield strip; i uuifrjiLinK lUHLrumenLM TiininrminF f in design to the headlamps, flush , f ventilator In the shroud; new dust .. .1 I.

But, despite the notable ad- ; vances In Buick appearance and - i roominness it is the jchassta .that : reflects jnost'tthe protracted and intelligent effort that , the Buick organization has applied in devel oping its car to this, ' the highest " I attainment, of lta history. . -,.. L I The six-cylinder yalve-ln-head engine, which, haa probably i brought more enduring fame to ? Buick than any other 'unit of "its construction, has been so re-de- signed that' it actually 'yields 50 ' per cent more jower and a speed of 60 to JO--jaTfea au-honr.J,, t j has ft larger Jfritfl forced Teed, lu- t bricatlon. removable "heads, larger " valves, heavier crank and cam Shafts, , . greatofj ptetpa ; displace ment and a. ngw carburetor that includes a simple dash adjustment for economy, regardless of weather or kind of gasoline employed. I The extension to all four wheels of the highly successful; Buick ex ternal brakes Is a feature thaf, it -is announced, has been Sin process of development'- for : a period of '.years and recently subjected to , more than 150,000 miles of . hard and varied road tests. These brakes enable the xar to ... be brought to a standstill much more quickly and smoothly thus afford j. ing an added factor of safety in ; estimable in Its advantages. The i brakes are; operated by a light pressure on the foot pedal -and the : mechanism Is both simp Je land in genious. The factory, organization gives its. complete approval to this feature as perfected and in no sense experimental - V ' ? ' ' Another outstanding factor is Ihe improved lubrication of the inglne, . There are .new cup-top )ush . rods and the rocker arms, ralve stems and springs, ;and ,con lectlng rod bearings are all auto matically lubricated. i,, A ! I The foregoing are merely "ihe )igh spots" in the' 1924 Buick, he minor improvements and re inements of the line being, in the Aggregate, scarcely less interest ag and epochal.' And. through Jt -11 basic Buick ideas of construc tion have been rigidly adhered to, amplified marvelously, but in no instance dsicarded. ! ' V , Of the fourteen body; models of! ( the line, ten are mounted on the f six cylinder chassis and four -on the four cylinder chassis. I lot the six-cylinder body models there are ' two interesting depar i tares from the 1923 line, a five- passenger Sedan to be known as I f the -"Double -?5ervice,M , and a five- j j passenger Brougham Touring se- j dan... The former Is JIned aud up! bolstered in easily renovated ma teriai.; "The result is a car thai can be subjected to the roughest usages of business and at the same ime quickly : adaptable to social purposes. 5 The; five-passenger Brougham 'Touring Sedan, Is a very smart model of the so-called SporC type. It ha?; all the refinements, insUde and out, that are associated with cars of this character, besides many features distinctly its own.. The j f ive-passenger touring car and the i five-passenger sedan are distinguished by more room than formerly, ' The seven-passenger touring, the five-passenger tour ing,! the seven-passenger sedan, the two-passenger roadster, the three-passenger sport roadster and five-pasaenger Sport touringi complete the line of sixett. , Of the four-cylinder line, ' tfie five-pa asenger touring, the two passenger' roadster, the four-pas-, senger couie (new) arid fhe.five passenger sedan, are all rboihy cars and marked by many new re finements.' A beading like that employed on the six-cylinder mod els, distinguishes the IooJcj. Be sides lour wheel brakes, notice able Improvements are, a venti lator in the cowl, new design lamps, i hew steering s gear, rear curtain lights, new flush doors, and many of the other advances noted in the sixes. DODGE MODELS 1 MUCH IMPROVED (Continued from page 1) moderately priced car of com mendable appearance as well as quality.! ' The wheelbase is a. trifle long er, the body is lower and the rear springs changed to semi-elliptical type are underslung, and increas ed from' 4 5 to 55 inches In length. All the features so popular with the public today; are embodied in the design of the complete line, which f includes a. touring car, roadstr,, coupe, twotypea of se dan, and screeri 'side and panel side commercial! cars of th res- quarter ton capacity. . All steel bodies s first introduced bv Dodge Brothers in their open pas- sener cars several years ao are now used for all types. The effect of the loner and low er body and longer wheelbase, combined with new lines and low er seats,! is very fine. According to dealers and others : who have driven the new cars, the improve ment in riding qualities is no less pronounced than the improvement in general design! The reduction In body height lowers the center of gravity, and thereby reduces sideways, while rebound shocks are effectively dissipated by the improved front and rear springs. The car holds the road easily and gracefully and affords real riding tomfort.. j - -f ; f .;v;;n yu - Another distinct new feature In the louvers or ventilator slits, in the sides of the hood panels.- This The 1923 SUPERIOR Chevrolet , 2-Passenger Roadster .

It was necessary to keep a physician in constant' attendance and Lockwdod was forced to un dergo severe pain when the boils which had developed were lanced while the car was in motion and under Lockwood'a control. Unlike most non-stop runs which are staged 04 .a track or without interference from traffic, Lockwood faced a big problem in negotiating traffic in and about Detroit for five nights and ' six days. Traffic officers, however, were all pulling for the daredevil driver to copiplete. his run and aided hint w-herever possible- by turning traffic signals . for him. Once in a while, though, Lockwood did . cross traffic against the sig nal.
