1937 NASH CARS
i Bigger and roomier and designed to
ftris public tut In streamlined
beauty, three new series of 1937 Nash
and LFs.ytte automobiles are offer
. ed by Walter W. Abbey, Inc.
The three series announced by Mr
Abbey are:
The Nash Ambassador Eight, aristo
cratic leader ot the Nash line, built
en 125-inch wheel base, powered by
the Nash eight-cylinder, valve -inroad,
twln-lgnltlon motor which de
velops 109 horsepower, and fitted
with luxurious appointments.
The Nash Ambassador Six, gener
ously designed on & 131-inch wheel
base, equipped with the Nash six
cylinder, valve-in-head, 95-horsepow
r, twln-lgnltlon engine, and, like its
: companion Ambassador, a quality
built car.
The Nash La Fayette "400' with a
117-inch wheelbflse, 90-horsepower
Monlto-sealed motor, a bigness and
roominess rare In automobiles of the
' lowest price field, and appointments
in keeping with the high Nash stan
dard. Although all of the 1937 Nash of-
ferlngs are readily recognised aa
i members of the Nash family, each has
distinguishing characteristics.
The Nash Ambassador Eight and
the Nash Ambassador Six are Identi
cal In many respects. Radiator orna
ments and treatment of headlamps,
however, give different front end ap
pearance, while In decoration of the
trunk In the rear also makes for eaae
of Identification.
The Nash LaFayette-"400" Is easily
recognized because the bars of Its
die-cast radiator grille run horizon
tally instead of vertically, as on the
two Ambassador series.
General design Improvements on all
three lines are many, and bring a
new and smart styling to the auto
motive field. Each of the new 1937
Nash series has been designed to eon
form to accepted streamlining principles.
Handsome stainless steel strips on
the hood are for decoration only, ex
haustive testa by Nash engineers hav
ing proven that hood louver openings
add nothing to engine ventilation.
One-piece seamless ateel tone not
only greatly Increase body rigidity
and serve as added passenger pro
tection, out also make possible a
new beauty In top treatment.
Increased comfort has been engi
neered right into the 1937 Nash La
Fayette series by several design ad
vances. Seats re wide, and provide
amplo room for six passengers with
out crowding. Recessed arm rests In
rear seats Increase comfort of back
seat passengers. Head room has been
increased to a point where it from
one to two Inches greater than usu
ally found In a modern motor car.
Floor tunnels have been eliminated,
providing greater footroom.
In the front seat compartment,
roominess has been increased by
mounting the hand brake on the
dash.
The popular "sleeping car" feature
of the Nash of 1936 has been placed
on the Ambassador series for 1937.
improved and refined.. In all 1937
Nash La Fayette cars a six-foot four
inch double bed may be made up in
the back seat In ten minutes. The
cushions serve as a mattress, and the
back of the "rear seat lifts up to pro
vide a clothing shelf, similar to those
in Pullman berths.
To protect passengers entering or
leaving the cars during rainy weather,
drip mouldings have been placed
over the doors In all models.
Interiors have been designed with
an eye to luxury and comfort. High
quality upholstery and upholstery
trim, modernistic hardware, conven
ient ash receivers, beautiful Instru
ment panels. ... all blend Into the
harmonious treatment of tho inside
of tho new Nash La Fayette models.
Many mechanical Improvements and
refinements are added to cars al
ready considered models of mechani
cal excellence. Important among them
Is the ride stabilizer, eliminating
body sway on curves, providing Im
proved steering ease, and serving to
straighten the cars out after s turn

has been made.
An Improved synchro-shift trans
mission on the Ambassador llnej gives
extremely quiet operation in all gears.
Synchronized springing has been
further improved on 1937 Nash La
Fayotte cars. The springs are devised
to oscillate at tho same rate, fron',
and rear, and have pre-lubrlcated in
serts between the three long upper
leaves at their extreme ends. To
prevent squeaks, springs are packed
with a special compound at the fac
tory; this compound Is unaffected by
temperature changes.
A new three-point mounting has;
been developed for the Ambassador
six and the Nash LaFayette-"400.M
This new mounting results In
smooth and quieter engine operation,
and Isolates motor vibration from the
body.
'No-draft ventilation has been built
into all Nash cars.
The cruising gear, so popular wltn
motorists since Introduced by Nash
two years ago. again Is optlonsl on
all models. In addition, engineers
have devised a speedometer for cars
equipped with cruising gears, whlcn
demonstrates to the driver the dif
ference In car speed and motor speed
while in this gear and permits him
to see for himself the savings ef
fected by this device.
Instrument panels on all three se
ries are of mahogany grain. In the
Ambassador series an oxidised silver
thread Is used to accentuate the ma
hogany finish. Instruments on all
models are grouped conveniently di
rectly in front of the driver. At the
right la an exceptionslly large pack
age compartment. A red light on
the speedometer notifies the driver
when hit upper driving beam is on.
Mr. Abbey reports that they al
ready have orders for eight of the
new models which will be delivered
as soon as a large shipment, due
here In a few days, arrives.
CHRYSLER ROYAL 6
! Wool Market Stronger
j BOSTON, Oct. 24. (AP-U. 8. Dept.
I Agr.) A strong market for wool de
veloped In Boston during the psst
j week. The Increased volume of sales
was sufficient to create an upward
price trend which started on medium
grades and later spread to the finer
wools.
IN MILEAGE TESTS
The now 1937 Chrysler Royal six I,
proving to bo the most economical
oar ever produced by the Chryaler
corporation, according to H. P. Lanffe
of the Lange Motor Car oompany. On
actual testa conducted by Mr. Lange.
the average mileage made at 45 miles
per hour was 23 miles per gallon, nnd
18 miles per gallon at 00 miles per
hour.
Mr. Lang stated yesterday, "Any
one wanting to verify thts fact can at
any time drive this car and make his
own test. Seeing Is believing. This re
markable mileage In a car of the size
of the new Chrysler Royal with a 08
horsepower motor Is entirely due to
the genuine Chrysler automatic over
drive which has been used by Chrys
ler In the Airflow models since 1934."
Chryelcr originated this device and
the automatic overdrive was first
used by Chrysler in the sensational
new streamline Chrysler Airflow cre
ated by the Chry,ler corporation, ac
cording to Mr, Lange.
"Tha automatic overdrive makes It
possible to get aa high as IS to 19
miles per gallon on the Imperial
Chrysler AlrHow at average driving
speeds. In the first shipment of three
carloads of Chrysler cars due to ar
rive by next Baturday there will be
some of the new Imperial 80's. This
psrtlcular car is a new addition to
the Chrysler line and can be nad in
the deluxe models In 131 Inch wheel
bsse, and the custom built seven
psseenger models In the custom Im
perial with 140 Inch wheel base." Mr.
baruce staUd.
The new Imperial Eight will have
the same motor, transmission, over
drive and hypold rear axle aa used
In the 1938 Airflow eight. This new
motor develops 130 horsepower and Is
beyond a doubt the fastest and most
powerful car of Its alls and weight
on the market. The bodies are built

TALK CLOSE
HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 24. ;p)
Bain bridge Colby, secretary of state
under President Wilson, left Hart
ford today under a police escort fol
lowing a telephoned "tip" that an at
tempt would be made to "knife'' him
at the close of a Republican rally.
Colby, addressing himself to "con
science -Democrats," at the rally last
Olght charged President Roosevelt
with being a voluntary or tnvoluuUry
recipient of communist support and
asserted "If his plans succeed, thor
will be no Democratic party."
The tip, one of several received yes
terday, was telephoned to Buehnell
Memorial hall where Colby spoke.
"Will you get word to somebody
that there la someone In the fourth
or fifth row who will knife Mr. Colby
at the conclusion of his address?" i
women's voice said over the tele
phone, which was answered by one of
the attendants at the hall.
Two police officers and the crew
of two police cruiser cars went to tho
hall, reinforcing two policemen al
ready on duty there.
Policemen were stationed so they
could observe any acts of the audi
ence without being seen. The audi
ence remained unaware of the situa
tion.
At the close of Colby's address,
nothing untoward happened.
Police escorted Colby from the hall
to the Hartford club and then to his
train.

has not had the question presented,
but a candidate in one eastern coun

the same point in personal letters to
two dtfferent state officials. A study
resulted, the finding of which would
prove highly susceptible to court
challengers.
Before the matter can corns to the
official attention of the attorney
general, the question must be put to
him, under the state law, by a state
or district official. In "these two coses

overruled by a court.
