PAGE SIX 1335 OLDSIVlOBILE New Spring Discovery for Next Year's Cars The new 1B38 01lmoblle has ar rived In Medford and I on display at the J. J. Osenbrug salesrooms, located at 132 South Riverside. "The new Oldsmoblle line for 1J3S," ald Mr. Oecnbn(e, "1 rep resentative of Oldsmoblle's belief that the public Is entitled to all that ti new and better. Rather than remove from Us products features that have proved their worth and desirability In millions of miles of service. Olds mobile has elected to keep these feat urea, and add all the latest Import ant engineering advancements. "For example." Mr. Osenbrucge continued. "Oldsmoblle la retalulat auch features as knee-action wheelj, uper-hydraullc brnkcs, ride stablll fjer, center-control steering., and all allent syncro-mesh (rear shifting. "fn addition to these and many othera time proved fundamentals of design." said Mr. Oscnbnyjge. "the 135 Oldsmobllea offer the purchaser that greatest of all body advance ments since the Introduction of the closed car. This Is the new solid teel 'turret top' body by Fisher, with steel above, stsel below, and steel al! around for the extra safety of drlvor and passengers. The new top, a a'.n flo piece of seamless steel built Integral with the body proper, con tribute. Importantly to the advanced new streamline beauty which charac terizes the new Oldsmoblles." "it Is Important, too, to the buyer seeking the maximum for his money, that tile new Oldsmoblle sixes and eights are larger, more powerful and even more economical. The wheelbase of the six has been Increased to 116 Inohes. The eight la Increased to 121 Inches. An Idea of the roominess may toe gained from the fact that the front seat In the six Is now three Inches wider than that In last year's Ight." a m X REVOLUTIONARY type of Heel that has enabled automobile mginccrs to develop new tapered-leaf ipringi or the 1935 Plymouth, has been perfected In Detroit, It was revealed today. The new spring material Is called Mola steel. It Is a carbon molybdenum steel, combining unusual flexibility with great tensile strength. With the development of Mola steel, automotive engineers were able for the first time to create a short serine that ts soft and resilient, as well as durable. The metal produces a spring leaf that can be used thin enough to give the re quired flexibility. The above picture shows the new springs and the front-and side-sway eliminator or ride-stabilizer. The springs have the unusual characteristic of two main leaves, each 'of which Is wrapped around the shackle bolt. The lower leaf is segmented at the center to allow for elongation. The leaves are tapered down at the ends, so that more area comes lirto contact with the adjoin ing leaves. The entire weight of the car has been-re-distributed. It Is the same on both axles now, whereas previously the rear axle supported 60 percent and the front axle 40 percent. Front end bounce is controlled by new double-action shock absorbers, which definitely add to the comfort of rear seat passengers. The side-sway eliminator is a torsion bar which acts as a third spring when it is needed to keep the car on an even keel.. THE AUTO WAY (continued from pagt 6) A new 1935 Chrysler Airflow 8 ee dan arrived In Med ford yesterday, driven from Portland by H. P. Lano of Armstrong Motors Inc., Chrysler and Plymouth dealers In Medford and Klamath Falls. This new Airflow Is equipped with the famous Chrysler overdrive which gives the car five speed ahead In stead of the usual three speeds. . Mr. Lango says: "This Is the finest motor car I have ever driven and It gives one the nearest aenwitton to flying of any automobile built. The new Chrysler overdrive transmission Is the only aucceaful overdrive ever built In the United States. This new device g!es the car a much greater gas mileage and it prolongs the life of the motor as much as 40 per cent." Ose Mall Tribune want ads distinctive hardware, and tv new dast board. The new Studebalcer which Is now in town has a new ype of Indepen dent Planar Wheel Suspension which employs the transverse springs In an entirely new way. This suspension Is coupled with automatic ride control shock absorbers and It practically abolishes side-sway and road bumps. The new car has many improvements such as automatic choke, automatic spark control, and new direct-action steering. The treatment of the radia tor and hood gives the car a very smart appearance, while the interior is Improved by a dash board of dif ferent design. Back from Pa widen a Mrs. J.

HIGH IN TRAFFIC Statistics Issued yesterday by Ward McReynolds, state examiner for driv ing permits. Indicate that Jackson county police are among the most vigilant In the state, in that this county ranks third, exclusive of Multnomah, In traffic violation con victions. Only Marlon county with 32 con victions and Columbia county with 36 had a higher record than Jack son. Klamath county had 8 and Jose phine only 4. This may mean, ac cording to McReynolds, that not as much attention Is given in those two counties to the small violations, such as failure to look In the rear view mirror In parking, signaling for turns, and similar violations. However, he pointed out, these lit tle things are directly responsible for an apalllng number of deaths In the state each year. Most of the failures In the tests given for drivers permits are due to non-attentton to these details, he stated, and that defect, is found In old drivers as well as new. There were 41 licenses Issued Fri day, and about that many yesterday. The average for the entire state Is between 40 and 50 a day, McReyn olds said, and pointed out that 40 per cent of the people applying for licenses in Oregon for the first time are from out of state, mostly from California.
