TOURIST TRAVEL
EUROPE GETS
PROMOTION HELP
WASHINGTON. D. C April 28.
Convincing evidence of the desire of
European countries to promote tour
lit travel It furnished in the an
nouncement that the German gov
ernment has Just completed an
agreement under which Americana
taking their ears to Germany may
secure all the necessary driving cre
dentials from the American Automo
bile aMrlatlon In advance of sailing.
A ilmilar agreement la already in
effect between the A. A. A. and the
Italian government.
In advising the A. A. A. that his
government had approved the new
agreement. Dr. Hans Luther, German
ambAJiftndor to the United States,
aald:
"I un confident that thla arrane
ment will greatly facilitate and ex
pedite the clearance at Hamburg
and Brcmerhaven of American
tourists, cars and you nmy be sure
that the German officials will ex
tend every courtesy to your members
and countrymen. May I take this
opportunity to extend to your mem- j
bers through you a most cordial In
vitation to vlalt Germany during
1935. A moat hospitable welcome
awaits them In my country-"
Outlining the terms of the agree
ment, Thos. P. Henry of Detroit,
Mich., president of the A. A. A., aald
the A. A. A. forrinn travel division,
under the direction of the German
consulate general, will issue the re
quired driving permits, circulation
certiriratea and German Internationa)
license plates. He continued:
"Agreements already worked out by
tlw A. A. A. with foreign govern- j
ments and foreign motor cluhs make
It possible for motorists to obtain .
customs documents prior to depart
ne and cross borders with a mini-
mum of red tape. The arrangements ,
with Germany and Italy are further
ateps In facilitating travel by motor
In foreign lands.
"Ability to secure both customs
papers and driving credentials be
fore leaving their home shores gives
motorists a certainty of freedom from
any annoying walta after their vaca
tion baa begun because of possible
delays In receiving their motoring
permits and papers.
"Motor touring to distant countries
now is faster and more pleasant than
ever before and the facility of this
type of travel, as well as the reduced
rates now In effect, has caused a re
markable Increase in the number of
cars shipped abroad. The A. A. A.
foreign travel division, which han
dles the major portion or all cars
transported to other lands for vaca
tion touring, reports a 60 per cent
Increase In business during the first
few months of 1936 as compared with
the corresponding period last year,
indicating the probability that the
approaching travel season will break
all former records."

The Plymouth Motor company re
cently announced two new additions
to Ha former line, these cars were
the convertible coupe, and the con
bertlble, commercial sedan. However,
the motor world received still an
other surprise from Plymouth Just a
few days ago when It announced
that a seven -passenger sedan and a
seven-passenger touring sedan would
soon be available. This is very un
usual, for the most part because
It has become an accepted fact that
If you want a seven-passenger car
you must pay around 93.000 for It
at the least. But this car will de-
liver for around I,100 according to
local dealers. For general character
istics of design, this new model Is
very similar to all of the other 1930
Plymouths, but of course It is con
siderably longer. The wheelbase on
this new model Is one hundred
twenty-eight Inches, which puts It
up Into the really large car class.
Even though this car Is called a seven
passenger sedan It will seat eight
passengers with comparative ease.
The arrangement la the same as the
conventional sedan except that two
auxiliary scats are placed between tbe
front and back seats. The two aux-j
diary seats fold very neatly into the
back of the front seat when not In
use and leave ample space for any j
type of baggage If dealred. We un
derstand that there Is also a lug
gage compartment behind the rear
sent In these models which will ac
commodate most of the luggage one
would ordinarily need.
These models were not originally
Intended for tho Amerlran market.
They were in the first place designed
and produced for the foreign market
where the seven -passe tiger car plays
quite an Important part, but the
Plymouth dealers heard about it and
Immediately sent In so many orders
that It has now been placed on the
market as a standard Plymouth
model. The main use for the car
will probably be for the large fam
ily, or for the car buyer that wants
We have Just received literature and
details on the British car. Standard.
, We do not know whether this la the
' car we referred to In a recent art
; tele or not. The car which we men
1 tloned and which supposedly Is on
j the American market was called the
f Standard Swallow; however. It la pos
sible that It was an entirely differ
ent make. We are sure of one thing,
however and that Is in our opinion,
this British csr certainly cannot com
pare with any American car of com
parable price. In the first place, rnost
of the models are so small that there
are only one or two cars In the Unit
ed States with which they could be
compared. The closest comparison
would probably be the Willys We
have found that for the moat part
they are very small in size and very
large In price. To bear out our
statements the following facts may
be of use: the wheelbase of the
smallest car Is S& Inches, the price
1725.00, and the horsepower Is 23;
the wheelbase of the largest car is
123 Inches, the price 92.500.00, and
the horsepower Is 561 Also, the maxi
mum speed of the smalt car Is 58
and the maximum of the largest car
Is 701 There is little doubt, many
other things are to be taken Into
consideration, but we are sure that
even after everything was measured
that the English car, for the most
part, would be found drastically
"wanting" as far as the American
public la concerned.

BUT IT PUTS YOU IN THE BIG-CAR CLASS
The Hudson Motor company added
another feature to its cap a while
back or perhaps we should say they
added several feathers. Anyway, a few
days ago a stock Hudson eight was
driven off a dealers floor In southern
California and taken to Muroc drv
lake where it was to be put through
some speed tests. As you may recall
Sir Malcom Campbell recently brok?
some speed records at Daytona Beach'
with one of the new Hudson cars,
but this time the car was put to
really serious work and proceeded to
break nbout every record from one
to a thousand miles In Its class. We
understand that even Campbell's
record was broken along with the
many others that fell as the Hudson
eight proceeded on Its way. One thing
that we can certainly say about the
Hudson Motor company, and that Is
they are certainly showing the
public that Its cars have real per
formance. We understand that one
of the chief reasons for ihe Hudson
and Terraplane performance Is the
weight per horsepower. In these cars
the weight has been kept down to
the very limit which will still per
mit a maximum of safety. By getting
rid of this excessive weight the car
has less to pull per horsepower and
of course the higher speed Is the
result. Another feature which Hud
son has been putting to the front
recently Is the all steel construction
of the car the body is steel fron
floor to roof, and from bumper t
bumper. The wood bracings and rr
InforcementA which are common li
the much publicized composition
bodies have been either entirely elim
inated or replaced by steel bracings
According to Hudson engineers this
contributes to a much safer and
stronger body.
