of Car Industry Expects
Big Sales Raise Over '34
New Ford V-8 Attracts Motor Enthusiasts
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. (AP) A glit
tering array of 1935 motor cars,
showing little radical change In de
sign, but with a general trend toward
Increased riding comfort, were pre
sented to the motoring public Sat
urday at the opening of the 35th an
nual New York automobile show.
The show 1b presented this year for
the first time by the dealers, instead
of the manufacturers. It also marks
the first time in a quarter of a
century that Henry Ford has dis
played with other producers.
Ease Stressed.
The stress on riding ease has been
manifested In refinements of Inde
pendent front wheel mountings
last years "knee action" body
lengthening, front axle and spring
chances to center the car weight,
and moving toward center the rear
seat from Its bumpy position over
the rear wheels.
Almost all of the 1935 models still
present a new form of springs and
many models have shoved forward
both rear and front springs together
with the load center.
Front Seats Wider.
The populnr front seat in which
three was always a crowd has been
generally widened to correspond with
rear seat comfort, leg room Increased,
gear shifts moved or Improved for
more "knee room." and engine re
finements incorporated for fuel econ
omy and stepping up speed without
Increasing engine revolution.
Outwardly, the most noticeable
change In the restyling of many
models lies in a narrow and higher
radiator grill. In this connection, one
model (Chrysler eight) has developed
a definite "nose ' In place of the
slanting fore panel.
Manufacturing plans for 1935 show
marked optimism.
The Industry as a whole has ex
pressed Itself hopeful of a sales rise
of inore than half a million cars
over the 2.800.000 produced last year.

ed to flex equally the control of
spring friction and the elimination
of the necessity of spring lubrica
tion.
Chief of the many engineering de
velopments which have contributed
to this "balanced ride'' la the fact
that springing is controlled on all
four wheels. Nash calls It "synchro-1
nlzed springing" and, in the light of
the remarkable claims made for it.
the manner In which the results are
obtained Is astonishing In Its sim
plicity. One of the new features of the 1935
Nash cars which is a direct result
of owner recommendation, la the hy
draulic braking system. Following
their customary practice of building
cars as near to owner specifications
as possible. Nash queried a large cross
section of Its customers last slim
mer, asking for suggestions on how
to Improve the next model. So many
people asked for h yd suite brakes that
the engineers at once began making
testa of the various types to deter
mine which of them would be most
suitable for Nash to use.
Super hydraulic brakes of the Duo
Servo type were the outcome of these
erpertment. Duo Reno means that
theae brake are aided In their work
by the forward momentum of the car,
so that less pressure Is required on
the foot pedal than would otherwise
be necessary.
