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.'

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.

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-
