MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOUD, OREGON. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1936. PAGE FITB CARS OF LUXURY I American Influence Puts Midget Models in Back groundHigh Tax Cost Is Overcome by Comfort LONDON (UP) British automo bile manufacturers, faced with a flood of six and eight-cylinder "lux ury" cars from the United State have scuttled the bugaboo of high motoring taxes and are producing an array of larger and finer models. Henry Ford can be credited to a large extent for this revolutionary trend In the British Industry. Years ago the British government identified the owner of a motor car as a man of superfluous wealth well able to pay a tax on hla luxurious living. A horsepower tax was placed on automobiles and this policy has been expanded until, .according to one manufacturer's statement, the British motorist Is the most heavily taxed In the world. Smull Cars Appear. Auto makers, seeking volume sales, responded by concentrating on small but ordinarily efficient cars. The streets were well filled with 11111 putian four-cylinder cars of about seven horsepower. These small cars also gave the motorist relier from the high cost of gasoline In England about twice the price In the United States be cause of heavy taxation. The British tax on a tiny seven horsepower car ts about 26 a year, not Including license and compul sory second and third party liability Insurance. In the United States, 'meanwhile, engineers developed low-priced six cylinder models of about 20 horse power for around 8500 and four cylinder cars became a rarity on the highways. Then Ford stepped Into the Brit ish picture. Two years ago he Introduced into Great Britain his eight-cylinder mod el, listed at about 81250 and capable of 80 miles an hour, to the amaze ment of British motorists. Its body was spacious and beautifully out fitted. Tuxes Red need Some. Many English people, Ignoring Its high tax and comparatively heavy gasnline consumption, purchased this model, thereby creating a new vogue which British manufacturers were challenged to meet. The government eventually made a reduction In auto mobile taxes and the United States responded with several models of 20 and 25 horsepower, six-cylinder cars selling in England for slightly more than $1500. The prices were higher than for the same cars In the United States because of tariff, freight, insurance and middlemen's expense. American-British competition be gan on a real scale with Lord Nuf field launching four new types of Morris six-cylinder cars. Ford re sponded with a smaller model of 22 horsepower, carrying a British tas of $82.50. The whole industry began to take notice of this new competition war and began to Join It, one by one. realizing that tax and fuel con sumption were not the stumbling blocks they once had been. American Influence Prevails. The recent International motor show at Olympla revealed the rapid Americanization of Britain's auto mobiles. Insofar as size speed and horsepower are concerned. "If we are compelled by sheer honesty to admit that the original Inspiration for these new models Is largely transatlantic we can say that the copyist unquestionably has im proved on the prototype," one maker said. The larper English cars mean higher operating costs, but salesmen have found that the additional cost of a 20 or 25 horsepower car Is not so great as to obscure Its merits of speed, comfort and silence with the buyer. Buyers have been made to realise that the large engines, rarely worked to capacity, have an endurance not to be found in the tiny runabouts and may be expected to last, with benefit of reasonably good care, for 10 years or more. Ono of the most frequently seen examples of the new British "lux ury" cars is a 21-horsepower model. carrying a tax of about 7f. accom mcdatlng five passengers and done In excellent leather upholstery. The car has a speed of B0 miles an hour. Reclamation Chief Given Promotion KLAMATH FALLS. Feb. 7. -f API B. E.
