That the open car Is strictly a
fair weather vehicle Is a theory as
out-of-date as the old fashioned
rear entrance, or patrol wagon
type or xonneau.
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.
