J V MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, April 14, 1959 1 fl itUt - ist - ' r a. . t NEW LARK AVAILABLE-The 1959 Studebaker Lark station wagon, above, available at DeLeigh Motors, 134 South River side ave., features a new "flight stream" roof panel accentuat ing the lower silhouette. It provides a lower center of gravity for a better ride and greater stability and is available in both Deluxe and Regal trim with either the new 6 or V-8 engine. It is nearly three feet shorter than the average American car. Major Engineering Advances Seen in New Lark for '59 , "The greatest major engin eering advances in 20 years" are credited with providing the 1959 Lark by Studebaker with greater maneuverability, Improved handling ease, a smoother ride, better econ omy, increased engine per formance, greater structural rigidity, improved heating and defrosting. Chief Engineer E. J. Iardig reported that the corporation has "gone all-out to make the 1959 Lark series the- best en gineered, most driveable, most practical car on the road to day." They are on sale in Med ford at DeLeigh Motors, 134 South Riverside ave. Important improvements in the 1959 Lark center about its substantially reduced ex terior size, especially over-all length, while maintaining "big car" interior roominess. The Lark's shorter length results in over-all maneuver ability unexcelled among six passenger cars, DeLeigh Mo tors reported. - Other special features of the current model include a new variable-ratio gear, pro viding faster steering re sponse; elimination of "dead" weight; economy of operation, including more efficient two barrel carburetion; and Stude baker engines designed to op erate efficiently on "regular" gasoline. 4 COMPARED TO A CAR.

DeSoto Plans Large Investment in Cars New York-DeSoto is invest ing nearly S25 million in en gineering and styling of its future models in preparation for the expanding auto mar ket of the '60s, according to General Manager J. B. Wag staff. Addressing DeSoto dealers at a luncheon meeting, Wag staff said that commitments have been made on the '60 and '61 DeSotos, that develop ment work is in progress on '62 models and that the '63s are on the drawing boards. "DeSoto is looking forward to a rising long-range demand for its cars, spurred by the rapid growth of the Ameri can population and thesteady increase in the standard of living," Wagstaff said. Trend Continues "As the trend into the sub urbs continues to grow, with about 24 million of an anti cipated 30 million population increase in the country in the next eight years expected to live outside of the city limits, DeSoto's market poten tial will also increase. He said that it has been established that the growing trend toward multiple car families is directly related to the desire to reside in the suburbs. "DeSoto's present product is aimed principally at this specific burgeoning market of the future," he said. Forecast Increase Wagstaff forecast an in crease in the intense competi tion in the medium-priced class. "There is no question that the battleground in the auto mobile industry is centered here," he said. "Our products compete in price classes which account for 57.8 per cent of all car sales." Wagstaff expressed confi dence in DeSoto's continuing to be an important factor in the sales competition of the future. ' ' "There are good opportuni ties ahead for all car manu facturers to sell more cars,' he said. With resumption of full scale production, DeSoto is anticipating record sales for the model year in March and April, he added. He said that in the first two months of this year, the production of '59 DeSoto models was nearly 15 per cent higher than in the first two months of 1958. i a ff I L." -.ttfe: i EYEBROWS The dual headlight "eyebrows" of the 1959 Dodge are gracefully arched for a refreshing new look.
