WES WILL BE !E Priwontitlon next Tuesday of tiaw and Hiimrter body typeti nnd a group of new colors for the Model A Ford l announced today by the Onjes Auto Co., locnl Ford denier, who ipmphnslzed the fact thnt no mechanloul change In contemplat ed in the cat because of the thor ouphty Kattufactory performance It hnn been Hiving. ' Mr. (inlea described this car ns follows: . , . .."KodoHlgned along ultra modern linos, tthe new bodies wilt hnvo a distinctly: refreshing appearance, with ull the beauty and charm of contour, line and proportion usual ly iiMiociafed . only with custom conch worli and largo cars. . ' Rutin- Front Hiilsol "The- entire front of the Model A Is' raised and in beautiful pro portion to- the new body types. Moulding treatment is new, and fenders are 'of moro generous di mensions, flowing with the lines or thn car. A now treatment In the contour and sweep of the bodies, with'.' a' '-graceful forward pitch, gives 'the impression of fleetness. '"Kvery line from tho flat radia tor car) to the tip of the low. graceful ourvo of the rear fenders is hew,. clear cut ; nnd extremely smart. ', ' 'Rustless steel will be used for radiator : . shell, headlamps, hub caps, all are bright nnd shining, and will stay so, for in this rustless steel the- ohrornluiu Is not on the outside, like a thin veneer, but is ; alloyed with the Iron. Moisture, whether from water, steam, Ice or snow will not rust It. . -1 - Change In itadlator .. .Vlerhapa - the , most striking change to catch the eye Is the new radiator. I HUH retaining; the Ford individuality, i tho, contour of the Khtdr.ls extremcly attractive, blend ing beautifully with the new fen der lines and other changes.' The trip follows somewhat the lines of the old helj, with narrower lines clown Vu'cn side, which curve Into a juncture at the starter opening 111 the center of the lower section. "The. general effect Is one of greater height and less width, whloh. combined with the sweep ing' curves, - contributes much to the .trlmness and smartness of the j whole car. ' ' "This effect Is heightened by a sturdy tie rod, finished in black enamel, which rises In a graceful arch from each fender, it supports the license bracket, and the bend lights, which nro higher than be fore. . :-. . " Sturdier, Smaller Wheels '"'Additional strength has been built -into tho body by the con struction of 'the cowl, the sides of which extend in one piece up along the windshield pillar to the roof line. Not only does this give sturdlness, but It reduces the pos sibility of soueuks. While cowl lights are stnndnrd equipment only on the Town Sedan and t'abrlulet, all body types have been wired for the hi, and they may be Instulled at siiull cost. sturdy, compact design of the wheels has been produced. They are smaller In diameter nnd conse quently nearer tho road. As be fore, they are mnde complete, In one' piece, all of the steel spokes lielrig electrically welded . to the huh KheJI anil rim. The angle at which the spokes are placed helps to distribute the force of road shocks and gives greater strength, ICnsy Hiding tjuallllcn "With the use of tho smaller wheel the tire size has been Increased from .6lixSI balloon to 4.75-18 balloon. This adds to the romfurt of the passengers In a car already rMiiurkable for Its easy, riding ciuulities. ' "A variety of colors has been added and may be obtained by the purchaser without additional cost. Much study has been given to Ibis matter and nn especial effort made to please the women motorists. -tTlie ,tnost .notable changes In the body. typos have been made in tlttf Tudor Sedan, the Coupes anil thineti cms. r- . j , Tudor Sedan, Itmnnii-r "(Thtj Tudor Sedan, most popular or 'tho rive passenger closed cars Is. longer. .More room has been glvenj lor ioccupaiHs of the rear onnipitrlnicnt.

It still retains the crow roof effect with rounded corners (oil the rear ouarter, the beauty of which Is accentuated by new body belt and moulding treat ment. . "Tho Coupe Is entirely new, with lower roof linn. French roof quur vn inphaslto.ihe low effect and tho long lines of the new moulding treatment.

PROVE FALLACY OF Tr.'iinload shipments of automo biles In November establish an other exceptional record In the history of lie Hoto. On three oc casions in less than three weeks' time special mo lid train load ship ment's, in addition to the regul.tr deliveries, wore mndo from he factory in Detroit to supply the demand of new-car buyers. "These special trainload ship ments indicate public realization of the qualities of the automobile, rather than the season of tho year, as the real determining factor. and that this Is an advantageous time of year to purchase a new car, says .Mr. Aloud ot tho aieuu Kurch Alotor company, local deal ers.

This was n. train or thirty freight cars, moving from Detroit In tho I e Soto dea lor In T.os Angeles, The running time w.is approximately six ami' fine -ha if days.

Following this were two other trainload shipments to other sec tlon of the country, made tip of twenty and twenty-three frek-ht cars each, at which no at tempt for speed was made The ol.il value of the automobiles moved in these deliveries Is over a qu tor f a million dollars. It Is pointed oul by L. C. Tte-.i, general sales manager for Do Sot that the demand for new cii" necessitating these trainload ship ments proves the fallacy of a i of f -season In automobile buying "There ha been a popular be lief." said Mr. Peed, "that fall an 1 winter are periods when no on things of buying a now car. in the case of Do Moto. however. w- are demonstrating that this sen. n of tho year Is tho proper one fo making the change from an old car to a new."

'Watch out for high curbs when ' backing Into diagonal parking 1 places in wtrange towns. They wHI often bend a rear fender badly. It doesn't add many miles to tJie days run. and it does Increase the danger of driving, to speed up In termittently and pass other cjrs on a crowded highway. A steady rate of travel that keeps up with the average speed of the cars on the road will bring you to your destination just as soon.- j When filling your tires with air nnd testlnb them, don't neglect the spare. Jf you keep it at the rUht j pressure, you won't have to pump it up when you need it nt some : lonely place In the country. t If you do run out of gas on t'ie i road nnd havo . to walk to the nearest filling station for a gallon, bo sure to borrow a funnel that ; will fli Into the hole In your tank.
