Auto manufacturers and dealers admit freely that men, who ac- eount for most of the traffic on the roads, can thank women for num- erous motoring conveniences -- from the selfstarter and the clos- ed car to the Zugmaie clutch and power steering. omen, &s pas- sengers or drivers, were first to demand "living room comfort" on the highway. The comfort and convenience features are being promoted en- thusiastically in this year's com- market.

"But women are much better posted now than they used to be on mechanical features, especially if it affects the cost of maintain- ing the car," added one veteran of 30 years in car selling. Two dealers stressed the "safety consciousness' of women and cred- itied their influence in the buying public for improving visibility.

HAVE EYE FOR COLOR Trained in home decorating and clothes buying, women enter sales- rooms with more decided views on color than most men, the dealers said. Manufacturers are catering to them with ever greater color and fabric choices. One, for ex- ample, offers 17 basic body eolors, 17 two-tone cominations and 32 choices of interior color and trim.
