The name Roosevelt, it is un derstood, has been decided upon for the new car after a period of consideration lasting nearly an entire year. The popular American ideals for which it stands were said to be the factors leading up to the selection of the name which. of course, conveys an impression of unmistakable importance to the public. j It is "believed that the new car! will not be introduced at the forth coming 1929 automobile shows, but that its presentation will be withheld until early spring in or der to give its producer an oppor tunity to incorporate in it a num ber of new and outstanding engi neering and manufacturing advan ces. The name of its manufac turer, however, probably will be made known before the time of the actual appearance of the car. Rumor also has it that the new Roosevelt will sell for less than 51,000 at the factory at which it will be produced. Statements from authoritative sources lead to the impression that it will be available to buyers throughout the country in approximately threa, months.
