NEW OLDSMOBILE.

IMPROVED MODEL.

Ample head and leg room are provided in the roomy body of the 1936 Oldsmobile, while several features making for safer driving and more comfortable ridin" have been introduced. These include super-hydraulic brakes, selfequalising and self-energising, kneeaction wheels which smooth bumps from the road, solid steel "turret top'* body, centre control of steering, ride stabiliser which eliminates car sway while roundin** turns at high speed, and electrically hardened aluminium alloy pistons which reduce oil consumption, minimise carbon deposits, lengthen bearing life, and greatly lessen the possibility of scoi ing cylinder walls. Smooth engine performance is materially improved by the use of these lightweight pistons in conjunction with an especially heavy counter-weighted crankshaft, and tri-cushion engine mountings of rubber bonded to steel. The Oldsmobile six engine develops 90 horse power. An entirely new treatment of the front end has been obtained without sacrificing any of Oldsmobile's identifying characteristics. The die cast radiator grille adds greatly to the striking appearance of the new front end, while headlamps, mounted high, likewise add distinction. The solid steel "t'urrettop," the V'type windshield, the streamlined rear contours, the graceful lines of the doors—all blend into a harmonious design.
