ALL CHRYSLERS

When Chrysler introduced the auto
matic overdrive In It Airflow models
two years ago and again when It
made this feature available In Its
lower-priced cars In 1035, the public
found Itself In possession of a new
and Important adjunct to fine per
formance and eoenomy In motoring,
according to H. P. Langs of the Lange
Motor Car company. The overdrive
Is retained In the 1037 line and Is
available on all models.
The overdrive la In effect a fourth
gear, which automatically comes Into
action at a predetermined speed of
from 35 to 45 mites an hour, depend
ing on the car model In which It Is
Installed. The engagement Is effected
merely by lifting the foot from
the accelerator for a moment. Noth
ing else la required of the driver to
engage or disengage It.
Mr. Lange aaya:.
"It Is obvloua that by the reducing
engine speed required to maintain a
given car speed, a great saving In
fuel, oil and engine wear Is effected.
Roughly speaking, a Chrysler In over
drive at 75 miles an hour turns up
no faster than a car In conventional
drive would have to turr. to maintain
50 miles.
"Not only does the engine save
fuel and oil. but vibration Is lessen
ed at the lower engine speeds tn
overdrive, which means that every
unit of the car will last longer.
"The quality of performance in the
Chrysler In overdrive Is the finest
yet attained . It is smoother and
quieter, producing a sensation that
Is more like flying than rolling along
the road."

NEW YORK. This will be a
banner automobile year, Judging
from the enthusiasm of New
York crowds that have been
pouring Into the Automobile
Show here. Experts say all in
dications point to sales rivaling
boom-time records.
r Safety is the keynote this year,
with manufacturers stressing
new safety , developments. In
general, the cars themselves are
more powerful and more luxuri
ous than ever, with definite price
reductions in some cases and
revolutionary changes in design
on certain makes. Streamlining
is advanced anomer step, wun
last year's sloping windshields
and nowing ooay unes lurinei
accentuated Hoods are longer
and radiators more suggestive of
speed.
The interiors have been plan
ned to meet thu demand for
more and more spece u.. lux
ury. Luggage compartments
have been Increased all down
the line, with built-in trunk
compartments the rule rather
than the exception. Interiors
are .more luxurious than ever,
with smart mohair velvet uphol
steries in new lighter shades giv.
ing a luxurious finish to even
the lowest price models. More
than seventy-five per cent of
the cars have now adopted this
rich Interior finish. Finally, the
accessories which once were
bought separately have increas
ingly been made standard equip
ment. Automotive observers agree
that the new cars give more
value for the money than ever
before, and that the increased
purchasing power of the country
will result in record-breaking
sales.
Packard Official
Predicts Biggest
Automobile Year
The automobile Industry In IU37
Is going to see one of Its biggest
years, if we can Judge at all by pres
ent Indications, according to W. M.
Packer, general sale manager of the
Paclcard Motor Car company. Mr.
Packer saya:
"Demand for our cars for exceeded
our expectation. It has kept up and
aotually progressively increased from
day to day. During the first two
months we could have sold twice
as many cara as It was possible for
us to build. Despite our most in
tensive efforts to turn out more cars
we were able to fill only half of the
orders we received from our distrib
utors and dealers In September and
October. Important In using our ex
perience to form some Judgment of
what can be expected by the Industry
In 1037 is the fact that these orders
are growing in volume, rather than
decreasing.
"It la true that we have had many
things In our favor. Wo have a com
pletely new car In a new lower price
field, the Packard six, a greatly Im
proved One Twenty, another com
pletely new car In the. Super Eight
and a much Improved Packard
twelve. However, there can be no
question. Judging from oir exper-

Mr. C. M Hurd, Manager Medford, Ore., Nov. 28
Rogue River Chevrolet, Inc.
Sparta Bidg., Medford, Ore.
Dear Mr. Hurd
Aa a Chevrolet Dealer, I believe you will be very much Interested in
the performance of my new 1937 Master DeLuxe Town Sedan,
I, bought this car at Philip, South Dakota while back east. I helped
unload the car and as soon as it was serviced I started -for Medford. On
the way out I ran through snow and soft roads for first 250 miles, and in
spite of ihe fact that the car wag new and weather conditions far from ideal,
the car peiformance far exceeded my expectations; although I have driven
Chevrolet; for the past ten years.
On the trip the total of 1730 miles, averaged 24 plus miles per gallon;
there was no precipitable oil used.
As I did not know you. I volunteered to Mr. Brittsan to give you
letter, or to give the above information to anyone interested.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES P. RISSE.
