road clearance, for rural districts.
This Is the third year that Plymouth

AUTO
WAY-
By Cyril Sander
We have finally received the for
eign literature we said we were ex
pecting. This particular data la con
cerning the cara built by the Daimler-Bens
Motor company of Ger
many, which Is probably the oldest
automobile company In the world.
It has been working on automobiles
for some fifty years. The Mercedes-
Benz automobiles which It builds are
noted all over the world for their
speed, dependability, and perfection
of workmanship, but we shall now
discuss only one of the various models
which the Daimler-Bens company
builds. This shall be the Mercedes-
Benz "type 500" with supercharger.
It la an eight cylinder car develop
ing 160 horsepower, with 129 14 -Inch
wheelbase and an over-all height of
only five feet two Inches. This last
statement about the height we con
sider Interesting because It la a great
deal lower than most American cars
of comparable size. Its maximum
speed is advertised to be 109 miles
per hour and It can be supplied In
seven different body designs. An ex
ceptionally noteworthy feature of
this car Is Its wheel suspension all
four wheels are Independently sprung
which means that this car la capa-
bel of traveling over very rough roada
at cruising speeds of 75 miles per
hour and more. This car is supposedly
the fastest touring car In the world!
Some of the other mechanical fea
tures are hydraulic brakes, four-
speed gear-box. double carburetors.
dropped box-section frame, and super
charger.
Though the bodies of these cars
aren't as "stream -lined" as some
American cars, we must say they are
about as smart as any we have seen.
They have long sweeping fenders.
slanting windshields, and very good
looking radiators which one must
see to appreciate. One model which
caught our eye was a special stream
lined coupe. It has a rakish V-type
windshield, beautifully moulded fend
ers, and a flowing top which em
phasizes Its swift lines, and we are
sure that anyone that sees the Illus
trations of this model will agree that
It can compare favorably with most
any American made car. The amount
of standard equipment on this par
ticular model is: Fine cloth or genu
ine leather upholstery, adjustable
front seats, chromium plated window
frames, rear-view mirror, adjustable
windshield, two electric windshield
wipers, electric direction- indicators,
patent roller blinds, two spare wheels
and tires, finder lamps, fog light,
ash trays. Inside pockets, velour car- i
pots, anti-theft steering wheel, spec- I
ial Jack, two Internal trunks with :
the cabriolet models, and a complete
tool outfit.
The other models which the Daim
ler-Benz company builds and which
we shall discuss later Include a super
charged sports ear by the way, it
has a top speed of better than 120
miles per hour: a type 230 which
compares In size to the low priced
American cars; a type 200. a small
car: and a type 130. which has Just
been introduced this year. This last

Byrd Expedition
Members Places
Order for Dodge
The world's longest-distance au
tomobile sales record Is claimed, with
little chance of protest by Dodge
Brothers Corporation of Detroit, ac
cording to w. W. A Her!, local Dodge
dealer. The order, for a 1935 coupe,
came of all places! from Admiral
Byrd's flagship, then In the Bay of
Whales, An tart lea. It was wirelessed
by Clay Bailey, the expedition's radio
operator after he had "picked up" a
broadcast description of the com
pany's new line of cars.
With preparations going on for the
homeward Journey, Bailey sat in the
wireless room of the S. S. Jacob Ru
pert, flagship of the Antarctic expe
dition, his ears, trained to hear the
faintest of radio signals, glued to his
head set.
Faintly at first, then more dis
tinctly, came music, then a voice and
the description of a new automobile.
The car bore a familiar name. Bailey
owned one of the make. Had operated
It until he Joined Admiral Byrd and
his band of adventurers. The car,
now several years old. was in Boston,
awaiting Bailey's return. The story
of that automobile sounded good to
the man whose speed urge for nigh
a year and a half had been appeased
mainly by Journeys on dog sleds and
floes of Ice. j
"Action I" as the movie directors
say. In a moment the generators
started. The transmitter began to
hum, with the result that a wireless
ed order for a new . coupe the old
one to be traded In reached the
Dodge factory the following morn
ing, having been relayed to the mo
tor capital by Mackay Radio and Pos
tal Telegraph. The car will bo there
when Bailey's ship throws its haw
sers at the Boston dock.
