Improvements Suggested
POINTS FOR 1939 MODELS What owners want in the new models for 1939 is the subject of a series of suggestions addressed to an English motoring journal. The following recommendations of a general nature are made for the consideration of British manufacturers: — Fit tyres with white-coloured sidewalls, also of lower pressure. Present your models in six standardised colours obtainable everywhere. More and better streamlining, starting from the radiator and continuing in unbroken flowing lines to the tail. Lower bonnets, allowing increased windscreen area, resulting in better road view. . Independent front-wheel springing on all cars. Larger and stronger bumpers at standardised heights, free of lamps and number-phites. Sink all lamps and horns into radiators or wings. Width of body in centre of car should be sufficient to seat three people easily. Increase area of glass in saloons by narrowing window and roof supports and bringing windows lower. Include wireless set in standard specification. Automatic oiling of chassis parts; the use of one oil only throughout tlio car
