REFINEMENTS IN 1939 CHRYSLERS
-T'ffl,l Tht 1939 Chryriw Royal, 4-door tedan. This ear hu whelbM
P H of 119 inches and 100 horsepower. Tha gearshift is placed on tht
Tj a'J wm stearin, wheel column in this and ill Chryslers
. Increased horsepower, thor
oughly modern appearance, an en
tirely new transmission, a steering
column gear-shift, added roominess
and a large number of refinements
that contribute to performance,
safety, comfort, handling ease and
readability feature the Chrysler line
for 1939. Chrysler again offers three
lines, the Royal, the Imperial and
the Custom Imperial, with a total
of 13 body styles.
The Royal, on a wheelbase of
119 inches, and the Imperial, of 125
f inches, come in four body styles,
namely, four-door sedan, two-door
sedan or brougham, coupe and vio
. toria coupe, the latter seating four
persons. The Custom Imperial has a
wheelbase of 144 inches and is built
in five-passenger sedan, seven-passenger
sedan and sedan-limousine
body styles. In addition to the stand
ard Royal, Chrysler has introduced
a "Royal Windsor"' on the same
chassis, with two-tone upholstery,
refinements in trim and various
items of extra equipment. The Royal
is available also to those requiring
an exceptionally commodious car in
a seven-passenger sedan and sedan
limousine on a 136-inch chassis. The
standard Imperial line is supple
mented by the "New Yorker , an
improved version of the popular 19H8
"New York Special", and the "Sara
toga", a car designed especially for
men and upholstered in leather and
Bedford Cord. No convertible models
are listed in the 1939 Chrysler line.
HORSEPOWER IS INCREASED
Horsepower of the Royal has
been raised to 100 by means of an
increase in compression ratio from
i 6.2 to 6.5 and an improvement in
manifolding and carburetion. Bore
snd stroke remain the same as last
year, by AH, with a piston dis
placement of 241.5 cubic inches.
This engine not only gives addi
tional horsepower but delivers it
with more smoothness and flexi
bility than ever before.
An entirely new eight-cylinder
engine of 130 horsepower is used in
all cars built on the imperial and
Custom Imperial chasses. This engine
has a bore of 3l inches and stroke
of A'i inches with a piston displace
ment of 323.5. Dimensionally this
engine is the same as that installed
in the very large and heavy 1933
Custom Imperials, but the compres
sion has been increased to 6.8 to 1
and the valve design improved to
produce more power and a smoother
performance. The new engine has
been equipped with a full-length
v water jacket, a water distributing
tube and a new five-bladed fan, in
( suring an efficient operating tem
perature under all conditions.
Exhaustive tests conducted by
Chrysler Corporation engineers dur
ing the summer established that
both the Royal and Imperial engines
produce increased top speeds, greatly
f improved accplrration and a marked
derrase in furl consumption. This
holds true both in conventional
MANY CHANGES IN
NEW 1939 BUICK
Bulck nteTs the 1PW ason with
th full momentum of an outstand
ing buiiness year for 1938 and four
new elEht-cvIinder cnra styled m an
entirely new and striking beauty,
according to R. A. Skinner of Skin
ner's garage, loral Bulck dealer.
The four models are respectively
the Series 40 Special, on 120-inch
wheelbase: Scrle 60 Century, with a
heelbae of 126 lnrhs: tjcrtea 80
Roadmaster with 133-mrh whI
base and 5rles ftO Limited, w:th MO
mches.
An innovation which contributes
v the striking appran-e c-f the
' cn tnd which also hsa important
engineering advantages is the adop
L
The 1939 Chrysler Imperial. The wheelbase U 125 Inches and the 8 -
130 horsepower. The "New Yorker" and "Saratoga" are built on
drive and overdrive.
One of the most important ad
vances in the 1939 line is the intro
duction of an improved type of
transmission, known as the "Cruise
and Climb". In general principle this
transmission is similar to the over
drive previously used in Chrysler
cars but it is vastly more valuable
to the average driver in that it cuts
in at speeds of from 23 to 28 miles
an hour, instead of above 40.
ACCELERATION 18 BETTER
It is further improved by an
entirely new solenoid device which
causes overdrive to cut out and con
ventional high gear to cut in when
the driver pushes the accelerator to
the floor. This feature gives the car
a pick-up that is impossible in the
lower gear ratio of overdrive and is
invaluable in overtaking cars on hills
or at a smart traffic speed. When
pressure on the pedal is released,
the overdrive again cuts in. This
transmission is standard on the
Custom Imperials and extra equip
ment at slight added cost on the
Royal and Imperial.
The long life and satisfactory
operation of engines used in the 1939
Chryslers is assured by a new and
exclusive superfmishing process to
which all of their moving parts are
subjected. This process, developed
by Chrysler's production research
engineers, under the direction of
David A. Wallace, president of the
Chrysler Division, results in a sur
face finish whose variation from per
fection is less than two one-mil-lionths
of an inch when required for
the proper functioning of the part.
By means of hard abrasives, slow
operating speeds on cold metal, light
abrasive pressure and a multiplicity
of motions, superlinishing treats the
surface right down to base metal and
all remaining scratches are below
this base metal line. When moving
parts with these perfect surfaces are
kept properly lubricated, there can
never be any metal-to-metal con
tacts and wear is thus virtually
eliminated if remaining free from
dust and dirt.
NEW TYPE OF SPEEDOMETER
A new type of safety speedome
ter will contribute to driving safety.
The indicator is illuminated when
the instrument lights are on. From
a standstill to 30 miles an hour the
legal speed in most city driving the
light shows green. From 30 to 50
miles it is amber and at 50 it changes
to a brilliant red. Thus the driver is
constantly reminded of the speed at
which he is traveling and warned
when he reaches a dangerous pace.
The gear-shift lever has been
taken off the floor and moved to the
steering column on all 1939 Chryslers.
In its new position not only is it
more conveniently located right
under the driver's hand, but the
shifting operation Is much easier,
being accomplished by a mere flick
of the wriat. There is nothing new to
learn, as the various shifts are madp
exactly as before, except in a vertical
tion of "cat-walk cooling" employed
extensively on European racing cars.
With this construction the grilles
are set low. In rakish contour, In
the cat-walk section between hood
and fender. This not only results
In better streamlining while empha
firing the low lines of the car. but
also provides a narrower hood with
consequent improved vision and bet
ter cooling, because sir la admitted
under greater preaaure.
An entirely new frame design
brings the Series 40 and 60 ears two
Inches lower st the r"ar while main
taining a Tat flonr wlthoct a tunnel.
This lowers the center of grav.ty of
the car, increasing nubility, while at
the same time contributing to the
Ions, low lines. For those who wish
to even further emphasTe the rakish
streamline nf FtI'S 40 and 60 cars,
stream board may he had In place
of running board These are narrow
trim mips and their use gives added
r-y effect.

instead of a horizontal plane. The
hand brake has been moved to the
left side of the driver under the dash,
leaving the front compartment with
a level and unobstructed floor that
makes it possible for three persons to
ride on the front seat in comfort.
Constant-speed electric wind
shield wipers are a feature that will
be greatly appreciated. These wipers
are entirely independent of engine
action and thus are free from the
vagaries of the vacuum type.
The design of the 1939 Chryslers
is a development of the Airflow
principle so successfully pioneered
by this company. The front end
cannot be described in terms of any
previous conception of automobile
design. For about half its depth,
the rounded nose of the radiator
shell is set off by horizontal vents
protected by chrome bars. This
gives way to a cascade of vertical
chrome bars projecting several inches
from the front of the shell proper
and filling in the space between
the front fenders. A massive bumper,
with ornamental protective grille
surmounting it, completes a front end
effect that is startlingly modern.
Fenders have been newly de
signed with a sweeping flow of line
and an impression of rugged swift
ness and thorough competence.
Headlamps are built into the fenders
and conform to their front end con
tours. Windshields are of the modern
V-type, 4 inches wider and 1 i
inches higher than those used in the
1938 cars. This brings increased
vision and contributes to safety.
Rear-end lines are characterized
by a majestic sweeping curve. The
trunk has entirely disappeared from
all models, in favor of a very large
concealed luggage compartment, so
there is nothing to mar the symme
try 'of the rear panel.
NEW ENAMEL FINISH USED
A new synthetic enamel finish
is now used on all Chrysler cars.
This enamel is harder and more dur
able and holds its color and lustre
longer than any other paint ever
offered by this company.
Interiors have been refined and
improved in many wayB. The instru
ment panel is of entirely new and
modernistic design, done in chrome
and ivory plastic. On the extreme
left the instruments are grouped in
an ornamental dial.
The body is 4 inches wider at
the "A" post than it was last year
so it Is possible to make the front
seat one of the widest ever found in
a motor car. The rear compartment
floor is wide and level and additional
leg room is provided by a foot rest
in the back of the front seat.
One of tire new safety features
is a rotary type of door lock which
prevents rattles by maintaining a
constant tension. This can be locked
from the inside by pressing a safety
button in such a way that the door
cannot be opened either from the
inside or outside until the button is
released.

FOR 1939 SEASON
'There's no question about It. Lincoln-Zephyr
is the style leader of
the Industry."
This Is the remark of George Gates,
official of the C. E. Gates Auto com
pany. Ford and Lincoln -Zephyr deal
ers, upon his return to Medford from
Portland where he attended a pre
view of the 1939 line of Lincoln
Zephyr cars. Dealers and newspaper
men assembled for the first glimpse
of the new, smarter, more stream
lined models which promise to be
come fhe talk of the industry. The
local showing will be held before the
first of the month, simultaneous
with other public displays In Ore
gon, Mr. Gates said.
Bendlx hydraulic brakes become
standard equipment of Lincoln
Zephyr cars. Oeorge Gates announced
upon his return here. Bodies will be
smarter than ever with higher front
of hood and vertical Instead of hor
izontal radiator grill. Added steps
have been taken to eliminate all mo
tor noise and vibration through rub
ber Insulation.
Lincoln-Zephyr feature the only
unit body and frame construction
found In the Industry, George Gates
pointed out. This type of rigid con
struction assures greater strength.
New colors will be offered to Lincoln-Zephyr
buyers for the coming
yeiir with upholstery, head-lining,
door panels and floor mats In colors
to match If desired. An Innovation
In body styling provides a skirt as
part of the door which cover and

T
PACKARD FOR '39
A 1939 Packard was placed on dis
play yesterday at the Perry L. Ash
craft showroom. Many Improvements
which Mr. Ashcraft says add comfort,
driving ease, longer life, economy and
beauty are listed in descriptions of
the new cars.
As In the preceding models there
are the Six, the One Twenty, or Eight
as It is also known, the Super Eight
and the Twelve, occupying price
groups In this same order from the
so-called medium low price class, as
represented by the six, to the tgh
priced classification In the Industry,
as represented by the twelve, "flag
ship" of the Packard, fleet.
The super eight, while retaining
Its big 130 horsepower engine and
luxurious refinements of Its predeces
sor. Is a completely new car with
which Packard hopes to broaden Its
market In the fine car field through
a considerably lower pricing thon
that of the 193S super eight. .
All of the 1939 models are char
acteristically Packard in appearance,
carrying, basically, the well known
hood and radiator lines. Outstanding
In a long Hat of mechanical Im
provements, standard equipment on
all four lines of cars, is a new sys
tem of shifting gears. Speed changes
are made with a smsll lever conven
iently placed on the steering column
Just under the steering wheel. Pack
ard has given this system the name,
"Handlshlft."
A new simplified fourth speed, or
overdrive, called "Econo-Drive," aut
omatically actuated by simply de
pressing and releasing the accelerator
pedal, is available at low extra cost
on the six, one-twenty and super
et?ht. Chief advantage claimed for
Econo -Drive Is that It reduces engine
revolutions 27.8 percent, saving great
ly In motor wear and Increasing fuel
economy as much as 30 percent. OH
economy is said to be improved to
an even greater extent.
Engineers explain that a button
on the dash can make Econo-Drtve
available for operation or lock It out
of service. A newly developed con
trol feature, they also point out, per
mits changing Instantly to third
speed gear for quick acceleration or
hill climbing by simply depressing
the accelerator pedal.
Packard this year . Introduces a
fifth shock absorber, something new
to motor csrs, on the six, one-twenty
and super eight. Its purpose is the
suppression of sldewiae or transverse
road shocks.
The well known Ssfe-T-Plex sys
tem of independently springing the
front wheels Is continued on all four
lines with a number of Important
Improvements. Safe-T-Plex rear
spring suspension is slso continued
on the six, one-twenty and super
eight. One of the Important Im
provements found on these csra lies
In the addition of what has been
called a transverse shock eliminator
Incorporated In the front suspension
linkage. Thla ts said to further damp
any road vibrations.
DEALER PREDICTS

"The general feeling expressed at
the meeting." Mr. Humphrey said,
"was that business, steadily on the
upgrade for the past few months,
will continue to get better.
"The automobile dealers represent
ed believed that people In general
have more confidence in the future
now and are more willing tb spend
than at any time during the last 13
months.
"The automobile buying trend that
has been so marked during the past
few years that of graduating to cars
In the price class Just above the low

DeSoto, with Its beautiful 1939 car,
soon to be announced, ts prepared
to take full advantage of this grow
ing market,
"When prices of the new De Soto
models are ' announced, American
motorists will readily see what the
Industry has accomplished this year
in creating greater values than ever
before. As a direct stimulus to new
car sales, auto manufacturers have
gone to unusual expense to provide
greater 'eye' appeal and Important
new engineering features for more
comfort and luxury.
"The 1939 De Soto offers an out
standing example of this. The car
is completely new from bumper to
bumper and packed with a large
number of unusual Improvements
and features."
