It. Tracy, assistant director of sales of the Oakland Motor Car company. ' The Oakland landau sedan, the highest priced car in the line.; is selling nert to the Coach, the low est priced closed model , in the line. The sedan and landau coupe are likewise being sold in cum bers greatly In excess of the per centage of sales of these models in former years. "This condition is no doubt due to the fact that the prices of the four ctosed tody 'styles are com paratively close together in price,' states Mr. Tracy. while thev phen omenal sales of the landau sedan, the highest pried model, has been accentuated .by the new price. which. is $J50 lower than the for mer price. ; - ; : ' "While it is pretty early to know exactly, whether the sales of the four closed Oakland models will be close together throughout J the year, yet the trend seems to be for -a more equal 'sale of all closed models lnany line of cars when the differential, in list price, between them ' is 'small." With a small differential, there , is again choice of the particular body style ; desired by the ; purchaser, which was not the case in recent years, with, thej coach price away below any bother large closed car ia ant line. - -V. - . While fne coach will undoubt edly be the largest seller' in most lines, the other closed body prices hare been brought down to strfk- the coach will Vot predominate as ing distance with, the result that it has the last two" years. 4 "It is rather interesting to note that many manufacturers of cars that devoted 5a or CO per.ttent of their production to open cars will. undoubtedly, ciit this production this year to as low as 5 per cent.

In the Hood River apple conn try .of Oregon there is a Willys- Knight Coupe-Sedan which has averaged better than 30,000 miles a year for the past two years with out a cent Bpent for motor repairs despite the fact that the car is put to unusually hard service. In central and eastern Call for nta there are Willys-Knight cars which are used daily in mountain driving with mileages piling, up to 1,200 miles a week that still have undergo their first exper-ience- wlth a mechanics tools.' A recent run by an owner from San Francisco to E Centro; thence to Los Angeles and return requir ed an average of better than 375 miles a day with one day crawling for 472 miles through desert coun try" 'and over steep jnountain grades. The 472 miles were made in IS hours total elapsed time with no consideration given to the time spent for meals. The car which made this trip had already been driven 27,000 miles-and the motor has never been touched in any -a. There are instances where Willys-Knight motors have been driv en Op to as blgh'as 30D.O0O miles and still maintain tteir original smoothness and power. In every case where these old motors have been tested out for power, the results have shown that they develop a higher power rat ing than that which was consider ed their best performance when they were new. , The most recent development of Willys-Knight engineers the ad dltion- of the Lanchester balancer to the motor, is expected to have direct bearing on -securing even greater mileages out of the new motors than the abnormally high achievements of the past. ; , An important after effect of the balancer, which does away with all motor vibration, is a direct and appreciable Increase of power.

Besides an increase in length. strength." and. weight, the - aew truck has undergone a radical change in -the height of the frame from the . ground. The frame which formerly was 23 inches in height has been lowered to 24 9-16 Inches. This change affords maximum convenience for loading. The wheel-base has been lengths- end from 120 inches to 124 inch es and the over-all length of the chassis from 172 inches to 177 inches. The frame is made of 6- inch instead of 5-Lnch channel steeL The weight, of the new chas sis is 2,030 pounds against 1.950 pounds, the weight of the former model. ' f " ' . Only one or two. minor changes have been made in the pwocr plant. The rear axle has been re-de signed and strengthened. It is of the semi-floating type with pressed steel housing and a large rear cov er which makes the unit extremely accessible for inspection. The dif ferential carrier is in unit with the third member assembly. The front springs are now eml- elliptlcs instead of quarter eclip tics and the rear semi-ellipt.es have been lengthened from 42.25 nches to 45 nches. The steerng -wheel s the semi reversible full worm type mounted on a bracket riveted to the frame. All brakes now have centering and equalizing devices and ' the rear wheels' carry heavy-duty 3 Ox S inch tires as standard equip ment. .J The price of the new Utility Ex press chassis remains at $500.
