Sing, burnished until a lad; could
.powder her now using the hoods tor
mirrors, the 1937 motor cu models
mere unveiled at the National Auto
mobile show today with great ado
about over-drlvea. hypold gears, re
cessed buttons on the Instrument
panel and other things which tempt
man to part with hit money.
There la more power In proportion
to weight, more room in the -nter-5ors,
rubber covers for running boards
tinted to match the body and, In
one manufacturer's output, a system
of "floating" the body on the chassis
with rubber cushions.
Trailers Interest
But the part of the show where
the customers stood three-deep was
the fourth floor trailer exhibit. Home
sweet home has been put on a ball
bearlng-and-rubber foundation. The
more ambltloua of the 24 manufac
turers exhibiting free-wheeling cot
tages have produced parlor, bedroom,
kitchen and bath for the motor no
mads. Here la a glimpse of the machines
In the lowest price ranges:
Plymouth The front seat measures
4 Inches. Five different kinds of in
flation are used to reduce nolae such
as the familiar "drumming" of the
steel body. Soft-roll upholstery Is In
tended to prevent Injury to rear seat

provement In design has eliminated
the metal post between the vent
shield and window proper when the
front window la down. Tho body la

the Chryaler "floating power" engine

to the heart of the salesman with a

New Scenic Delights Opened
to Pacific Coast Motorists ,
Says Mobilgas Scout
New scenic delights, greater ease and satisfac
tion tn driving, new travel thrills, have been made
available to motorists in the Pacific Coast states
in recent months.Thia condition has been brought
about. by expenditure of large sums for highway
work in Washington. Oregon and California.
The result is, according to officials of Genera!
Petroleum Corporation, that motoring is estab
lishing high records, new car sales are up more
than 30 per cent, gasoline and oil consumption
has shown marked gains, while business general
ly has benefited from this travel activity.
Today, motorists are seeing the entire Pacific
region, and enjoying its matchless scenic gran
deur as never before. Pictures herewith, show just
a few of the highway projects which more firmly
establish the Pacific's right to the title "America's '
Playground.
