Not that those early automobile body styles were not appreciated: on the contrary, there ore many who had a warm spot tor the venerable one-lungers especially the kind with the engine under the seatl Nevertheless, the old time busses ot yesteryear naa tneir disad vantages. They were rough and ready rough riding and ready to fall to nieces. To ride In one was over exposure in any kind of weather. Even on a clear day the driver was lucky If the breeze didn't blow off his freckles: - The meek auto tourist of two decades ago .usually Inherited the earth, which he brought home in his eyes and ears. Today there are no such motor ing haxzards even In what Is popu larly termed the "open' car." Windshield and top furnish pro tection against ordinary discom fitures, while with side f urtalns-l hung the car s occupants are sale from annoying elements. Chevrolet dealers throughout the Pacific coast have found a ready market for touring cars and roadsters all through this winter. These body types, when curtained all around, offer a very snug means ot transportation. Close fitting door curtains permit of easy entrance- and exi making the vehicle- a veritable closed-car. And when the pleasant days came, as they, frequently, do in mild Pacific coast winters, the owner has an open car for the open road. ;-. SAUIM, Ore.
