NOVELTY IN CARS
REAR-ENGINED VEHICLES.
PRODUCTION RACE EXPECTED. (United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) London, January 9. The Daily Mail anticipates a war involving rear-engined cars. America had planned a secret campaign featuring stream-lined, smooth-bonneted cars swept back over the rear axle and designed to accustom the public to a far greater novelty than the rear-engined car which two leading groups had agreed to produce exclusively during 1935 in the hope of making obsolete 9,000,000 cars. The Daily Mail points out that a British firm exhibited a rearenglned car at Olympia and that now Germany is marketing a mediumpowered rear-engined car. Accordingly an immediate production race is expected.
