EXPORT CARS MOST HAVE RIGHT COLORS Certain Colors Sacred; Oth ers Reserved For Royal ty; Bright Colors Good Green is not used In the color scheme of automobiles in Persia and Arabia as it is considered sac red, and dark green or maroon is reserved' in Japan for members of the imperial family, according to reports received by the Oregon State Motor association. The motorists' organization pointed out that' although color schemes are a matter of personal preference in the United States, they are taken more seriously in some foreign countries and are considered of great importance in many nations. Basing its statement on facta gathered by foreign attaches of the department of .commerce and A. A. A. representatives abroad, the motorists' organization said that the American car predomin ate t hrnnirhrtnt tho nrftrld. line to the fact that builders have anti Hnatnri the whims of all neonles. Citing some of these factors, the foreign travel agency said: "In hot, moist countries leath er upholstery is desirable as it is considered cooler and fabric de teriorates rapidly. "If several countries, notablv Great Britain, its dominions and colonies, the rule of the road is to the left and the preference Is al ways for right-hand drive cars. "The road clearance of Ameri can cars is . satisfactory in most foreign countries, but in hilly countries or those where road con struction is not o far advanced, the low clearance is not favored. "As the metric system is used in many countries, the speedomet er registers in kilometers. "Closed cars continue to gain in popularity, but in tropical coun tries the open model is still fav ored. "Bright colors are generally re ceived most favorably and plated trimmings give the cars added attraction."
