Ford F-3 Stake. Truck for 1936 Is Shown
In the new models presented by
the Dodge division or Chrysler cor
poration, the company's designers,
engineers and body stylists have quite
evidently outdone all previous efforts
In the creation of a new series of
cars emphasizing the qualities of out
ward charm and inherent value.
Viewing the 1936 Dodge from 'the
front, one becomes Impressed by the
gracefully tapering lines of the null
ator grille to which a raised center
section gives a Gothic effect of clas
sic beauty.
Hood lines, fender contours, "cat
walks" which bridge the fenders and
hood and carry the horn grilles in
which the radiator pattern is repeat
ed In miniature, alr-Uned windshields
the lower corners of which are made
to follow the cowl lines, refined body
sides, rear quarters and roof present
an ensemble of racy alenderness in
dicating elegance, power and speed.
Many Mechanical eFatures
Beneath the distinctive trim of the
new Dodge bodies, the motorist bent
on mechanical research finds much
to Interest him an Improved spring
suspension that contributes new ele
ments to the Dorge air-glide ride: a
new steering geometry that relieves
the steering mechanism from road
and wheel disturbances; an Improved
"ride leveler" which synchronizes the
action of the springs; a further
strengthened bridge-type X-frame; a
steel construction which makes Dodge
safety steel bodies structures of even
greater rigidity and safety; automatic
control features that exempt the
driver from many manual operations;
a finger-tip speed -changing mechan
ism; genuine, self -equalizing hydrau
lic brakes and many other details
through which driving and riding
ease, safety and economy are promot
ed to further heights.
Refinements are also embodied In
the patented floating power engine
mountings In which the Dodge power
plant la suspended; these mountings
permit the placing or trie engine low
In the frame so that there Is practi
cally a stralght-llne drive from the
engine to the rear axle, with the en
gine oscllating on a line which forms
the combined center or weagnt ana
mass of the power plant. The actual
mounting surfaces are of special, live
rubber applied in such a way that the
natural engine reactions due to pow
er impulses are absorbed by the rub
ber Instead of being transmitted to
the car and its occupants.
Power Developed With Economy
The 3lix4-inch Dodge engine de
Telopa 87 horsepower with 6.5 to 1
compression. A detail worthy of spe
cial mention Is the manner in which
the combuslon spaces of the cylinder
bed are shaped to give the indrawn
fuel mixture a whirling motion that
' result In perfect ignition and com
plete conversion of the fuel into
power.
Exhaust valve seats of special steel
alloy, pioneered by Dodge, are also
employed for 1936; their advantage
Is a remarkable resistance to heat
f that keeps them from heating and
' warping and postpones the need for
valve grinding for extra thousands of
miles. An additional factor tending
to lengthen the compression life of
Dodge exhaust valves is a system by
which the exhaust valve seats are
"spray cooled" from a steel tube ex
tending though the cylinder block
and connected to the belt-driven cen
trifugal water pump. Water Is de
livered through holes In this tube,
and sprayed against the exhaust valve
seats under pressure.
Efficient engine cooling U obtain
ed through an Improved system in
which the water packets extend
downward and around the full length
of the cylinder barrels. This Jacket
ing is Important because, together
with the spray cooling of the exhaust
valves. It results In equal expansion
of the cylinder bores, especially when
the engine is operating at high speed.
The bores remain cylindrical, a fact
that le of material aid In promoting
fuel and oil economy.
The Dodge engine crankshaft has
seven balancing weights for reducing
load on the four main bearings. In
addition, an Impulse neutralize Is
mounted on the forward end of the
crankshaft.
The aluminum steel-strut pistons
of the Dodge engine are of an Im
proved con trolled -expansion type giv
ing an effective compression seal re
gardless of whether the engine Is hot
or cold. Four piston rings are em
ployed all situated above the piston
pin.
Shock-Proof OH Leads
Engine lubrication Is by force-feed
which raises the oil from the crank
base passes It through an oil mani
fold running through the cylinder
block and along passages drilled into
the walls of the cylinder casting. .
Through theae shock. proof leads the
lubricant Is forced around main, cam-
shaft and connecting rod bearings, I
The timing drive chain is kept lubrl- I
cated by a directed oil stream !
thrown off the camshaft.
All engine oil Is aenwned before it ;
enters the pump housing and In-returning
to the base reservoir is drawn
through In ov.talde-mounted oil pu- '
rifier which keeps It free from im- ;
purities.
The asbestos -lined clutch of the
new Dodge Incorporates a cushioned :
hub In which spiral springs absorb
the shocks arising from variations In
power transmission. The clutch houi- '
log is ventilated. I

Dodge, as direct-acting through In

REFINEMENTS of design r.a the chief changes

The stake truck on 131-inch chassis Is shown above.

proved. Eight needle roller bearings on the universal
joints are new, making the total of anti-friction bear

sorbers, with the result that the car
la kept on an even keel in rounding
corners, in traveling over uneven
roads, and under other conditions
tending to cause chassis and body
sway. Being located behind the radi
ator grille, the ride leveler which
requires no adjustment during the
hte of the car remains permanently
out of sight.

IN SAN FRANCiSGO
San Francisco is going to have
its great annual auto show artcr
all!
That was the announcement made
yesterday by Don Gilmore, president
of the Motor Cnr Denier association,
following the settlement of the
auto mechanics strike, which caused
a cancellation of the twentieth an
nual Pacific show.
Gtlmore said that labor leaders
had pledged their assistance in mak
ing this forthcoming automobile
show the greatest in the long list
of successful exhibits which have
prcccedcd It.
George Wahlgreen, veteran show
malinger, plans a dny and night
schedule of work In the few days
remaining before the scheduled open
ing date of the show in an effort to
line up entertainment and arrange
decorative effects In the large San
Francisco civic auditorium where the
show Is scheduled to opon Satur
day, November 2.
The denier, auto show committee
which is headed by LeRoy Spencer,
mnnn;rer for Enrlo C. Anthony, Inc..
Is active with the denlers and the
eastern factories in rearranging for
sperlnl shipments of show cars from
Detroit and New York.
Orders for these cars had been
cancelled and many of the special
show Jobs and show chassis exhibits
will now have to come to the west
coast by express In order to be here
In time for the opening of the dis
play. Automobile men declare that this
year's automobile show will have
more new models on display than
any previous exhibits, due to the
fact that all models this year are
being Introduced concurrently wttn
the November show dates.
San Francisco now will hold T?B
automobile show at the same time
as the New York and Los Angela
shows. These three automotive event

PONTl AC'S OFFERING FOR 1936
Shown "here are two of the striking 1936 Pontiacs which carry on the tradition of being
"The Most Beautiful Thing on Wheels." Although jhe familiar "Silver Streak" is still
the major motif, refinements both to the exterior and interior, as well as to the chassis and
motor, make this the finest Pontiac yet built, say the Company's engineers.

An Interesting Dodge feature,
achieved with the utmost in mechan

which incorporates a transversely

Controls Are Automatic .
Driving case of the new Dodge is !
further realized through automatic
features performing certain control
functions without depending on the
Intent or skill of the operator. For
Instance, an automatic choke, incor

ever carburetor "choking" is neces
sary. The task of advancing or re
tarding the ignition spark In accord
ance with varying operating condi
tions. Is given an automatic vacuum
spark control attached to the ignition
distributor. Engine, cooling is regu
lated by a thermostatic control which
automatically retards or accelerates
water circulation as conditions de
mand it. An automatic carburetor
