Show New Oldsmobiles I SATURDAY SHOW 0 TUEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MEPFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7. mi fa tr. 5 VSKT A nsw series of Lincoln-Zephyr mo ( tor cam, longer and .more dashingly 4 sleek than their predecessors and dls ' playing an entirely new Impression of modern motor car styling, went on display yesterday at the showrooms of the C. B. Gates Auto company. Med ford Ford-Llncoln-Zephyr and Lin coln dealers. A large crowd of south ern Oregon people were on hand to view the smartly-styled Lincoln-Zephyrs for 1038. Two racy new convertibles, a sedan and a coupe, make their debut among the six smart body types which com prise the 1938 Lincoln-Zephyr group. In addition to the new convertibles, the line Includes a sedan with four door6, a coupe-sedan with two doors, a three-passenger coupe and a town limouslne. A wide range of choice In colors In a new baked enamel finish Is available. From front to rear bumper, the styling of the ne cars Is modern i and well-groomed, displaying a fresh approach In the development of the " streamlined design created only two years ago when the Llncoln-Zepryr first waa presented to the public aa f the Lincoln Motor company entry In the medium-price field. The new styling permits substantially ampli fied body roominess. The "tear-drop" front end, which suggests the highly streamlined front of a racing plane, blends harmon iously with the balance of the de sign. The conventional radiator grille has been subordinated. The front Is closed except for two openings near the bottom, through which air is &A mltted to the engine compartment. The "alr-atream" treatment is car ried out smartly. In the long sweep of the hood, the rakish tilt ot the windshield, the graceful body con tours and the new fenders and lamps. The fenders are massive, gracefully formed and give an air of strength to the design. The headlamps are streamed Into the front fenders, the combination tall and stop lamps Into the rear fenders. The license plate bracket la In the center of the rear deA door. Luxurious new fittings, wide, deeply-cushioned seats and a general air of roominess characterize the new car Interiors. The driver compartments ,. have been 'enlarged. A new Instrument panel, which al ' so Includes a closed grille extending down to the top of the transmission housing to conceal radio and car heater Installation, la flanked on either side by a glove compartment. Controls, Including throttle, choke and light switch, and a cigar lighter are grouped around the speedometer located above the grille In the mid dle of the panel. Engine recording Instruments are arranged around the circumference of the speedometer dial. Below the speedometer la a large electric clock. The panel, and grille are finished In beige. Garnish mould ings are In "allver glow" walnut fin ish. The new seat are deeply-cushioned, unusually comfortable, upholstered In broadcloth or cord. There la a soft edge cushioned with sponge rubber on the back of the seat above the robe cord, replacing the chrome rail of the 1037 modela. Deeper, more restful arm rest are provided in rear com partment. The Lincoln clear vision ventilating system It continued, tti design pro Tides adequate freeh air at all tlmea without draft. Rear quarter windows i. of the sedan are of the casement type, opening outward. ' Exceptionally large luggage com partment are provided In all new body types. The compartment, reach ed through the rear deck hatchway, also encloses the spare tire and It upportlng frame. When the deck Is lifted tire and frame are revealed. These can be awung down out of the way to give access to the luggage pace. The compartment la lighted automatically. Additional luggage , space Is found back of the seat In the coupe and convertible coupe. A number of significant engineering advancements have been made to Irr prove the already brilliant perform ance of the car. They are the result of research by Ford and Lincoln en gineer, plus the experience of the " iir,t 46.000 Lincoln-Zephyr owners. Amone the important improvement In the chassis Is the Increased wheel base, now 125 Inches, three Inchea longer. Thl lengthens the spring base to 13 Inches. ' Owners during the last two years have commented repeatedly on the unusual riding qualities of the Lin-roln-Zcphvr and particularly on It ability to give a single passenger a "Mill-load" ride. The lengthened whelbae tends to Improve the "ride." The 110 horsepower V-type U-cyl-lndr engine and the transmission have been moved forward in chassis. The additional space thus provided increases the depth of the driver compartment. The transmission la now located under the cowl, rhe houslrw his been lowered and the gear-shifting mechanism moved out of the way of driver and front seat passengers, thus leaving the compart ment unobstrtKted. The new Lincoln-Zephyr bodies owe part of their roominess to their un usual width, the result of the elim ination of the conventional running hoard Passengers may atep directly nto the floor of the car.
