Tendency Grows Toward In
ternationalism . in Auto
mobile Manufacturing
Europe, with Its Kreat mas?
preference in (ho past for oars of
the four cylinder .type-, has shown
a change of. front 'this fall, the
popular trend 'now, turning in
force to cars of- light ix-cylindeT
design. This complete reversal of
former standards in the old world
waa the outstanding'feature of the
recent Paris salon and the Olyin
pla automobile show, at London.
Great interest was centered at
these shows on the. new light six
es and it was generally admitted
'that Enronean manufacturers
were forced to-prod nee-cars of this
type due to the Invasion of Ameri
can manufactured sixes which
have made deep inroads in sales
In the European field.
The position established in Eu
rope by the American-built Whip
pet, in the four-cylinder field, and
the inroads of the light sizes as
represented by the Overland Six
and others, in the next upward
size class, was being keenly felt.
This fact was very apparent lat
the Paris salon as-an indication of
Sjheir .time-honored,- four-cylinder
''cars, a six-cynder type built
along American lines In an effort
to stall off the Yankee invasion.
Observers at theala salon de
clared that it Is doubtful if any
light six would nave been produe-'
c-d this year by French makers
had there not . been offered tne
strong American competition. The
ready acceptance of the light six
disclosed that the European man
ufacturers had really made a pop
ular mow.
The I'ii ris salon in the past has
been mad up almost entirely of
Continental products, with only a
few Ameruitn tn;! HrKish cars on
View. However: the 1926 show!
Indicated not '; the trend of j
Europe toward lh iijtht ix-car.-but
the American representation
gave a clear chbw for the alarm
of the French car manufacturers
in the sales field. To meet the
European conditions and be en
abled to offer com petition to do
mestic products, it has beeu nee
isary for the American car to
adopt a style of design along the
European principles which in
clude the small dimension motor
high power development, low
nung body, and four-wneel brakes.
This trend of Europe for the
light six has come about in a short
time. The Olympic show, as well
; -. the Paris salon was remarkable
f r the large proportion of light
f-ix-cylinder cars among the new
models. Nearly 70 per. cent were
h. zcs ranging from 100 cnoic inch
es up. the majority of them being
i. nder 120 inches- At the 192C
bhow there was introduced but
no nw six. a derided contrast to
thn H26 show where tho sixes

ropean car and the 'adoption of
Hie best ideas of European con
struction in the American car, is
bringing about a design in both
continents tending toward an in
ternationalization of motor car
standards, .it is said. Europeans,
however, point out that a com
plete internationalization of cars
iH'ver will be passible until every
American car briKer incorporates
the four-wheel brakes as standard
et;uipmer.t. To strengthen this
they iite that not a passenger car
Manufactured oia the continent,
whatever its price, is built with
out brakes on tht; four wheels nnd
no tar is considered standard un
less it o equipped.
This European move toward the
liht six type, although it was sud
lea rather than gradual, has bVen
nut in America. In fact, Willys
Ovtrland engineers immediately
r.fier the acceptance of the Vbip
ptt four which embraced the lead
ing features and standards of Eu
ropean engineering, sensed the
cojiin demand for a light ?ix car
of th Whippet type and imme
diately began plans which have
resulted in tiie production -of the
six-cylinder Whippet, entirely dif
ferent from any other light six
ever offered the American motor
buyers.
In the construction of the Wnip
pet Six the engineers have follow
ed, the general type of design laid
down in the Whippet. Together
with the European advantages in
Whippet construction, the design
ers haver Incorporated in the Whip
pet Six the highest American
standards to moet the stern tests

pot subjected in Europe.
'Ther Whippet Six body also con
forms .to? the same low hung,
SD;arf style of the Whippet with
Its low "center of gravity to pro
vides easy riding qualities and
road .stability. The four-wheel
brajfesj foie of the individual fea
tures of -the Whippet cars, also are
standard equipment on the Whip
pot Six.
In the development and produc
tion of the Whippet Six, the
.Whipped Six, thu Willys-Overlmd
engineer net only set a standard
in America but the Whippet al
vrlit into the foreign field, with
iis accepted high standard engi
neering ideas and features of both
continents, promises strong com-?-
I m it ion for the new line of light
Bik. jus- ioUui-od by the
tlgn manufacturers. , .
Observers who have witnessed
the performance of the new Whip
pet Six declare that it points to as
radial a development in the light
six-cylinder n'eld in America as
did th four-cylinder Whippet in
its class: " -

WHIPPET ROADSTER
has m mm
Car Shown for first Time at
New York Display Consid
ered Excellent
An fmportant addition to the
Whippet line of motor cars is the
Willys-Overland presentation of a
new sport roadster on this chassis.
This body is shown for the first
time at the 1927 automobile Show
in New York. Although the de
signers of the roadster adhere to
the general streamline effect char
acteristic of the Whippet group,
this car offers notable innovations
In the 4-cyIinder field.
It presents a racy and smart ap
pearance with its low hung body
sweeping back and ending in a
graceful curve at the rear in which
is mounted a rumble seat with
sufficient room to accommodate
two persons. This feature, the
makers declare, has an appealing
effect to the younger set as it per
mits of a chumminess between
passengers in both front and rear.
The roadster is equipped; with an
automatic windshield wiper. The
backward slope of the one-piece
Windshield bears out the general
contour lines.
Interior appointments are in
keeping with the modern idea.
The-upholstering is of rey leather
material. This' blends' with the
bqdy color scheme ot Corson
green below a red striping and
Champlin green above. y
In the front compartment ample
roominess is provided with a seat
41 iTjcbes wide and. 17 ?& inches
deep. The rear seat is 43 inches
wide and 14 inches in depth.
; The 'steering, wheel is adjustable
in itsi support to three positions
While 4he driver is provided with
driving room of 3 4 inches from
clutch and brake pedals to the
front seat.
. A on all Whippets, 4-wheel
brakes are standard equipment,
this being one of the safety fea
tures of this group of ears stressed

Plans have been made for a

because the Prisoner's Song was
