for making it tremen dous success We are all deeply grateful and proud And let me specially compliment Arthur Harris and Mac Fendley for their beauti ful floral display in the centre of the Arena We can indeed assure you that you will see more shows of this calibre in the future the president concluded Opening Ceremony Prior to the official opening Pris day night by the Mayor Mrs Mar jorie Hamilton the chairman of the Motor Show committee Chittick paid tribute to the finan cial support which the Chamber of Commerce had received from the car dealers in the town Through their efforts the community would be able to see the latest productions in the automobile world It was indeed privilege said Mayor Hamilton to be present on behalf of the town and the council think this is just wonderful she said As came in the door thought This just looks like the Coliseum at the Toronto Exhibi tion do not think they have anything we have not happen to be chairman of the ArenaC0mmlssl0n and it is one of our fondcst hopes that the Arena will be the centre of praiseworthy activities in the Town of Barrie feel very happy as chairman of the Commission to see this lovely show being staged in our Arena Words fail me when it comes to saying how was impressed with the display of cars she added In humorous vein the Mayor re ferred to the fashion show due to be staged later in the evening with the words believe there is to be most interesting show bit later know the boys will stay hope the ladies will also It affords me great pleasure to declare the Motor Show of Barrie officially opened lovely corsage of red carna tions was then presented to Mrs Hamilton by nineyearold Lynne Walls younger daughter of Mr and Mrs Walls The president of the Chamber of Commerce then drew the visitors attention to the fact that motor accessories display had been ar ranged under the seating accommo dation on both sldes of the Arena For the children and grownups there would be film shows screened during the evening and there would also be the fashion show There would be plenty of entertain ment as well as the opportunity to spend time making general sur vey of the cars on display Highlights Of The Show There can be little doubt that the most controversial model on dis4 play in the gailybedeckd Arena was the colorful Chevrolet Belair featured by Dangerfield Motors on the revolving platform in the north west corner of the auditorium The car hardtop with power glide transmission is only one of 12 in Canada It was delivered to Dangerfield Motors just prior to the opening of the Show but as it was the latest model to come from the production line the local deal ers did not even have time to check the officigl manufacturers name of the orangepink paintwork on the body It was christened simply The Shrimpboat gt Within half an hour of the open ing on Friday night it was sold by Ken Bell sales manager to young lady whose name has not been divulged at her oWn request An interesting little story how ever lies behind the showing of this muchtalkedabout car and it was disclosed byKen Bell himself When it arrived decided just to put it right into our showroom The ear had chosen for exhibition at the Show was red convertible Howevertwo of the girls in the office Ruth Haines and Joan Askew had us take The Shrimp boat out of the showroom They said that it was womans car and that it should be our main attraction The girls certainly know their business Within half anthour of the Show starting sold it outright to young lady he explained gt Also on display at the Danger field stand was aChevrolet Star line Special coach Starline Special sedan Starline DerLuxe coach and an Oldsmobile 88 se dan Sid Justin was perhaps the most disappointed dealer at the Show due to the fact that model ofthe new Austin car which he had hoped to feature could not be deliveredrin time for the opening His stand wasoccupied by the Nash Canadlan statesmen sedan and the Canadian Statesman coach RConsiderable interest wits also Shown by boating enthusiasts in the Christraftgoutboard motors which were also featured in this display Over at Harold Hills fourAcar show considerable public interest odels for Graham and Flemln Were fJane Badgley Catherine harden Birdie Mulholland Joan New for Sumner weac werewitllorla balsam gt unbound Gloria Swan ande was evinced in the Chrysler and Salonens Comments The general impression of Wm concerned with the Shoo was that it had been an uziquaizfzti success and would undoubtedly lead to the event being layman3 annually Commented Sid Justin Motors think this as the Justin Llft atoga sedan which embodies Ml of something which is going to widelyacclaimed Firepower engine and the Hydraguide power steering said to eliminate four fifths of the drivers work One of the most popular Plyl mouth models the Cranbrook sedan was also featured with the becoming greybody blacktop colv or combination For those who favour the station wagon type there was the Ply mouth Concord with washable leather upholstery and capacious interior ALso shown was the eyeappeal ing Plymouth Belvedcre hard top with twotone green coloring mist green coachwork with Bolivia green above 100 Catalogues Opening Night Landry Motors attracted great deal of interest with their display featuring the Pontiac Chieftain fourdoor sedan and the Flathead er Special Their Buick Special twodoor convertible with electric al window operation and green coachwork with red leather uphol stery was another in the group Also from the Buick range was the fourdoor Iownback sedan with the dynaflow transmission 80 great was the interest in thesel models that over 700 catalogues the1 entire stock for the show were re moved on opening night The very dignified styling of Packard was shown in the Hart stand which featured the 200 touring sedan with its Thun derbolt power unit and the largest luggage compartment of any sedan on the road Undoubtedly one of the sleekest of the 1952 models was the Mon arch Montcrey hardtop with the curved onepiece windshield and 125 HP V8 engine Also featured was the Monarch fourdoci sedan with Fordomatic transmission the Ford Customline fourdoor se dan and the smaller Ford Pre fect Economy Appeal For the motorist with an eye to economy the Henry shown by Barrie Motor Sales was an exhibit of great interest This car fitted with the new Supersonic engine will deliver up to 30 miles to the gallon while individual owners have reported getting as much as 40 miles This model incidentally won the Fashion Academy Award for 1951 Its big brother the Kaiser which won the Grand Prix dHonneur at the Concours dElegance Cannes France was also shown on the same display and being the only car with the Anatomic design naturally caught the eye of those interested in the styling advances of the automobile indutry The sweptback aerodynamic de SIgning of the 1952 Studebaker models shown by acksons Motors also caught the discerning eye of the visitor Exhibited were the State Star liner hardtop the Regal Star light coupe and the Custom fourdoor sedan In the centre lane of the auditor ium Harold Jory showed the Bri tish cars the Triumph Mayflower and the Standard Vanguard De Luxe fourdoor sedan both of which provoked quite great in terest to the economyminded mo torist The only other British exhibit the Hillman Minx fourdoor se dan was displayed by 8c Motors SPECIAL SPECIAL SPECIAL 50 FEET ONLY SPECIAL V8 really worthwhile all in favor of it HRPOLd Hill Harold Hill Lllntlcu It is nice Show We have had quite number of people railing who will be eventual buyers it is good place for the people to compare all makes of cars at one time Ken Bell Dangerfield Minors think the Show has been im mendous success We have com tabled many prospective buyers through it and are all in favor of repeat Clarence Wingrove Londry Mo tors It has been marvellous am all in favor of the Show and if am cm tau1 lone is held next year We Will be able to cope more easily with some arrangements which are rather difficult to handle when new venture of any kind is introduced Orville Wilson Corby Motors think the Show is good thing In this way the salesman can con tact more prospective buyers than by making individual calls Giorgianni BarrieMotor Sales was surprised and delighted when first saw the Show think it is very good and is ahead of the oldstyle fair ground motor show Jack Bouncy Jacksons Motors think it has gone over very well People will come to look at cars in an exhibition like this where they might not go into the car dealers showroom Here they dont feelthe obligation to buy and it gives them fine chance to com pare me make with the other Harold Jory think it is rcallv smart The Show gets all the cars out together and the public have fine chance to compare them Gus Viau Motors The Show has certainly given the pub lic fine chance to note the dif ferences in the makes of cars It is very fine idea and the Show has undoubtedly clone great deal for the industry locally VALUABLE ASSET On two recent occasions the value to the community of having its own band has been well demonstrated There will be other times through the year when this organization Humboldt Lions Junior Band will be called on for services which only band can supply and we will come to appreciate it more fully as time goes by LHumboldt
