(UP) That portion of tha motor ear indus try which hi eatred to th moder ately wealthy hat bwn faced alnc th depression with a "Mohammed and the mountain" dilemma. It is now settling that problem in charac teristic manner. Builders of fine motor cars, robbed of their marfcsta by depleted Incomes and depreaslon tastes, have urged Mohammed to the mountain. They have adapted their offerings to the pocket books of thlr former patrons. Two distinguished lines Packard and La Salle announced drastic price reductions and new models this year. Public response was far healthier and enthuslastlo than had been antici pated. The Packard factory waa forced to speed up production in an almost vain effort to keep up with ales. La Salle, product of General Motors, appeared on the street in ver Increasing number. Both formerly high priced ma chines, they were offered to the pub 11c at unbelievably low prices. Pack ard, while retaining its expensive cus tom models, presented a light eight at less than $1000. La Salle came In the $1300 division. With the reputations of other ex pensive predecessors behind them, these new cara caught the -public fancy and the orders came rolling In. Butck's announcement yesterday hat it had reduced the price of Its 1930 models from $40 to $385 brought the first builder of medium priced machines Into the lower brackets. The move, la significant. People will not pay the same amount of money money for a machine In 1936 as they did seven or eight years ago. The market In the $1600 to $3000 range has faded with the advent of the Improved low price machine. These cars offer too much value to bridge the gap between $750 and $3000. The Bulek Motor Car company ad mits frankly that It is appealing with Its 1930 line to that broad market of wage and salary earners who want an automobile under $1000. The company anticipates a $0 per cent increase In sates for the coming year and has set. Its production gosl at 135,000 cars. "Fundamentally, our operations for next year are the result of objectives set up nearly two years ago," Harlow H. Curtice, Buick preBrflent, aald re cently. "The first of these objectives .was to put our cars In the lower price market. The second was to return to mid-year announcement of models." Buick's production schedule for September has been stepped up to between 000 and 700 cara a day for the remainder of this month. It will continue In October at an accelerated rate In view of the expectation that the public will buy this automobile of excellent reputation at Its new low price. Rumors In automotive circles dur ing recent months have centered around the expected announcement by another fine car manufacturer a builder of eight and 12-cyllnder ma chines that he would shortly Intro due a model In the price range of Packard and La Salle. While these reports have been de nied, reliable sources report this manufacturer's staff of research engi neers hard at work behind the care fully guarded dcxars of their laborato ries and testing plants. With Buick the only producer to have announced It 1936 price range, peculation has turned to other man ufacturers and their possible offer ings. The concensus la that changes throughout the Industry will be lim ited to the Ironing out of kinks In the present models, with perhaps a builder here and there Introducing some radical Changs In a bid for pub lic support. Observers feel, however, that the new models will follow gen erally the trend of this year'a highly successful offerings- Retains World Speedboat Championship X 7 I M ..... . ill I Little MIm Canada IVH powered with a Ford V4 marina eonvcrilon angina and drlvan by Harold Wilson of Ingaraoll, Ontario, won tha world'a eham plonahlp In tha 225 eublo Inchoa apaadboat elaaa at tha Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto.
