Detroit - fllPD - An industri
al designer who two years
ago blamed poor design for a
drop in American car sales
says the styling of the 1D61
models is good enough to
boost sales.
Designer Carl Sundberg of
Sundberg Fcrar Inc., an in
dustrial design firm which has
many former automobile de
signers on its staff although
it doesn't do automotive dc-

sign work, congratulated the
designers of the 1001 models.
"Two years ago I criticized
the design of cars because I
thought they deserved criti
cism," Sundberg said.."No-v
I think the 19(11 models arc
deserving of praise and I
wish to congratulate the de
signers." Improvement Need Noted
Sundberg toured displays
of the 1061 models at the Na
tional Automobile show in
Detroit last month. As he
walked among the displays,
Sundberg noted a few places
where he thought there could
be improvements in the new
cars.
"But every designer has
different ideas and I can't be
critical of these cars general
ly," he said. "I would say they
have done a remarkable job
this year. These designs are
good enough so they should
stimulate sales."
Two years ago, Sundberg
accused the auto designers of
"slapping chrome on cars in-

discriminate." Now, he
says, the designers are using
chrome tastefully. He even
criticized a few cars for not
using chrome where he felt
it was needed.
"Chrome is a beautiful sur
face if It is used right," he
said. "It should be used to
highlight the natural contours
of the car. For the most part,
that's what is being done this
year.
"But a few car makers ap
parently have been scared off
by criticism of the Indiscrim
inate use of chrome a few
years ago and have failed to
take advantage of it to the
fullest this year," he said.
Critical of Aluminum
Sundberg also was mildly
critical of extensive use of
aluminum for decorative
parts, particularly the plan
ned use of bumpers, next
year.
Chrome has much greater
depth of finish than alumi
num, he said, and it is much
stronger than aluminum when
placed on steel. For this rea
son, he felt chrome plated
bumpers were more practi
cal than aluminum bumpers
and other trim parts around
the grille.
"Aluminum is a good ma
terial and has its uses in the
auto industry," he said. "But
it has caught the fancy of the
auto makers this year and I
believe a few of them have
gone overboard with it."
On the positive side, Sund
berg particularly like the
rear end and roof line treat
ment of nearly all of the 1961
models.
"On many cases the fins
have been done away with,"
he noted. "And in cases where
the fins have been retained
they are part of the overall
design of the car, not just aft
er thoughts that have been
tacked on.
No Objection To Fins
"I have no objection to fins,
I think Ihey can really add to
Ihe beauty of a car, but they
must be integrated into the
overall design of the car, not
something just tacked on be
cause they happen to be pop
ular." Inside the cars, Sundberg
said, the aulo makers have
used synthetic materials 1n
some ' cases which do not
blend with the overall design
but generally here too he felt
the total result was good,
"The real, challenge for the
auto designers will come next
year," he said. "They have
good designs now, probably
the best they have ever had.
"But next year there will
be pressure to bring out a
new look with the same basic
design. This will lead to a
temptation to merely add a
few pieces of decorative ma
terial here and there to make
the car look different.
"This simple adding of
chrome without consideration
for the overall design is what
ruins a good design," he said.
"It will be interesting to see
if they can change these beau
tiful designs without ruining
them."

PARE YOU PREPARED TO PAY HIGHER REAL
. PROPERTY TAXES?
ALait yoor Jackson County received .tout J.300,-
000 directly from the Federal Government. These
were so-called 0 & C funds which were received
in ploc. of real property taxes on federal lend.
An attempt is being mod. to take oway part of
Jackson County 0 & C monies. Based on last
year's county expenditures, if we hadn't received
these funds ond vour house and land had been
appraised at $3,000 your real
property taxes would have been
about $75 higher than they
were. I am against this raid on
0 & C funds. As your represen
tative I pledge to fight against
this raid and to fight for real
property tax relief for Jackson
County.
