New Models^And Women!
With a twinge of mingled interest and
jealousy, most of us have scanned the
newest model cars recently displayed.
And, true to our American habit, we are
gravely concerned with anything that is
new.
Watching, from a smug distance and
out of earshot of the car salesmen, we
believe we have caught the Spirit of
America in the automotive changes just
released. Not only that, but we also have
seen a deadly parallel between styles of
automobile dress and styles of feminine
apparel.
It was but a few seasons back when
car fenders showed everything but the
motor’s navel. They were cut away on
the side, and a painted undercarriage
was a thing to be paraded. But now, as
you have noticed, manufacturers have
almost completely relegated wheels and
running gear into that catagory of un
mentionables and have hidden such ped
al paraphernalia under a skirt of iron
and steel.
It wasn’t so long ago, either, when
women displayed everything but their
birthmark to the great American popu
