Twenty -Two Models in 1939 Nash Line Chevrolet Scoring Hit With '39 Models OF MOT CLAIM HASH HEAD SALES INCREASE. i fti& . M mm Style Is the watchword of today's motorists. Not only are America's discriminat ing car buyen demanding flashing performance, mechanical excellence, economy of operation and luxurious comfort, but they are Insisting upon beauty of design and grace of line In the automobiles of their selec tion. That's why much accent has been placed on style In all the 'new cars this year, according to George W. Walker, consulting designer of Nash Kelvin a tor corporation. In keeping with the trend toward more truly modern lines, the 1930 Nash has been re sty ltd from stem to stern, declared Walker, who col- la bora tod with the company's engi neers In giving the new oar Its streamlined appearance. "We sought, In designing the oar, to establish a feeling of swift transi tion," he said, "and we strove to keep the exterior lines clean and unembelllshed. In keeping with the best principles of aerodynamics. We kept before us at all times the well known principle that true beauty can be found only In utter simplicity of design. "The principles of aerodynamic streamlining, which give the modern airliner Its bold, breath-taking beauty, were closely followed In the design Ing of the new Nash. Not only does this itype of design ing result In beauty and grace of contour, but It serves a functional purpose. It makes for a far quieter highway ride." Aerodynamic design, Walker ex plained, causes a body to slip through the air with a minimum of wind resistance. There are scarcely any projections to mar the flowing lines and to set up additional wind re sistance and nerve-wracking wind roar. "In the new Naah, for Instance, the headlight has been designed as an Integral part of the massive front fender," he continued. "There is no projection whatever. The tipper front door hinge Is a concealed one and ' thus the cause of operating quiet ness Is again served. Even the tail lights have been sunk smoothly Into the rear fendeiv. "It can readily be seen thai the elimination of these and other pro jections, besides contributing to quietness of operation, accent the smooth and flowing lines of the car, bringing out their true aerodynamic characteristics.' 4 There are 4,68o producing oil walls In Webb, Duval, Kim Hogg and Zap ata, Star, Brooks and Hidalgo coun ties of Texas. Since 1031 the area has produced 187,7fiO,6B7 barrels of oil. i 4 Cotton bales wrap pod In cotton Instead of Jute Is gaining favor I throughout the cotton belt. i I - ...M....I ... i i II )".' )'i .. .'JH ! '...). 'I. . I Pour aeries of cars, 23 models In all, will comprise the 1930 Naah line, aocording to Walter W. Abbey, Nash dealer here. All have been completely restyled from bumper to bumper, and In de sign follow a new conception ( of the modern streamline motif, W. A. Blees, general sales manager, re ported. The new body and hood lines, and the slenderizing treat ment of the front-end give them a longer, lower, wider and racier ap pearance. Many new features will be seen In the new models, Blees announced. One of tho foromost new features, Blees said, is the "Weather Eye" conditioned air system for winter driving. This Is an advancement of the car comfort system pioneered In 1938 by Nash, and makes car condi tioning automatic all winter longr Another Important advance Is the "Hurricane Power" engine of the Nash LoFayette, or low priced, aeries of cars. It Is described as the most simple gasoline engine yet designed, and has many parts leas than con ventional automobile power plants. It Is made up of two major parts engine block and engine head. The manifolding Is cast into the engine block. It Is an L-head type motor, and dual Jet carburet! on Is used. BRILLIANT ARRAY (continued from page two) be utilised by the Lions In carrying forward their charitable work. Aid To llllnd The funds will be used for pur chasing radios, Braille literature, and standard red-tipped canes for the blind, radios for aged couples u liable J to buy their own and milk for under-privileged children in the city schools. The club has a milk project In co operation with Wis Lady Lions. For the past two yews these organiza tions have provided half a pint of milk dally for each of the needy school children. In addition to this the Lady Lions co-operate with city firemen In dis tributing toya to poor children ai Chrlfitmns, old and discarded toys be ing converted Into ' new playthings by the firemen.

It comprises frame front crossmember. new short-and-long arm "wishbone" type knee-action, new ride stabilizer and double-acting nd-to-end discharge hydraulic shock absorbers.' Complete sales returns from this area indicate approximately 28 per cent more Chevrolets were ordered during the first 30 days of the 1939 announcement, as compared with the 1938 presentation, declared O. M. Hurd. head of Rogue River Chevrolet. "Since the announcement of the new 1B30 Chevrolet late in October we have been giving demonstrations constantly and we think this public Interest in the new car presumes a year of very good sales." continued Hurd . "Because of the splurge of business the Chevrolet factory was unable to produce cars enough to take care of tho first month's de mand but by the addition of men to the payroll in the Pacific const plant at Oakland back orders have been fill ed and we can now make immediate deliveries. "The public Is particularly interest ed in the Chevrolet new vacuum gear shift," continued Hurd. "More than 90 per cent of the cars ordered will have the vacuum gear shift. We Interpret thLs to mean that the pub lic, first, regards the vacuum gear shift as a necessity on any modern car; second, that the public is con vinced that our type of vacuum gear shift Is mechanically sound, foolproof and will be an IntCRral part of every automobile by 1940. Women, parti cularly, like the vacuum gear shift because of Its ease of operation. We are finding many people who believe tho new gear shift Is the sole reason for Chevrolet's amazing magic carpet ride and ease of handling. Chevro- (Continued on Page Seven ) .'X-.''
