ml Cite * How Many Parts in a Motor Car? J^NGINE— axles—gear box—frame—body tops—what, a maze of parts to be put together before a motor car is ready for the owner to drive away. In the assembly of Chevrolet cars at the General Motors works at Petone, for instance, there will be nearly 3,000 separate pieces of work to be done on each car. And when it is considered that Buick, Oldsmobile, Oakland,. Pontiac and Vauxhall Cars, and General Motors Trucks will all have to be unboxed and set up—or assembled —one can readily appreciate the amount of work which will be available for New Zealanders and the amount of wages which will be paid to New Zealand workers. Thus does the localisation of manufacture at the point of distribution give the New Zealand car buyer an opportunity to contribute directly to the economic welfare of his country. A car for every purse ' and purpose.

Never has a commercial vehicle created such wonderful records for staunchness, adaptability, and never-faltering service at remarkably low operating costs. With more engine power than any other vehicle of its carrying capacity —with the most rational distribution of weight on the wheels —with a chassis weight lower than any^other—with a liberal use of forgings instead of castings and stampings—with oversize bearings—with a policy “50 per cent, oversize all through ’’—the Speed Wagon is commercial car stamina personified. Reo Speed and Reliability were demonstrated when the big Heavy Duty Reo Speed Wagon accomplished the cruelling Reliability Trip from Kaitaia to Bluff and back in 17 days—and without any mechanical trouble whatsoever !
