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 lace, and now what have they done? An afternoon frock will all but sweep the sidewalk and high necklines have taken all the adventure and thrill out of watch­ ing a girl mix a soda flip behind the fountain, and we are left to wonder, vaguely, if the critters do have under­ carriages. Which doesn’t demonstrate anything in particular, except that we Americans have developed an insatiable appetite for change. Things must be different; and, being different, we presume they are im­ proved fundamentally.
