WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ew-Model Race On In Earnest '(The Kinancial Post) Paced by Packard and Hudson, the new-model automobile race was well under way last week, Packard had a commanding lead with 17 new: styled. body types in production; Hudson was second with the biggest change In 38 years in the business, Tut overshadowing the field was the distinct possibility of a late dark-horse entry by Ford. If this materializes, Ford might take the 1948 or 1949 sweep- stakes going away. A survey Pd The Financial Post showed"a general feeling that the new postwar car promis. ed by Henry Ford II might be a reality early next year. This was confirmed by Ford this week, He said there would be little change in the '48° models and Indicated the radically new car would. go into production some time in 1948, The others of the "Big Three" are reported to be planning iden- ' tification changes only, This has already been announced by Genm- eral Motors,, Chrysler hasn't gaid anything officially but the feeling in the trade is that there won't be any major change in Chrysler models, First to -show Packard, Before a roomful of De- troit newsmen, Packard President George T, Christopher announc- ed his firm's 1948 models -- a group of 17 newly styled types powered by three new straight Sint engines of 130, 145 and 160 PD Wor Packard these new cars represent the most drastic chan- ges since the 1935 Clipper model. Siz-cylinder engines have been eliminated in all but taxicabs and for export, The new program represents the major share of a +20 million program begun by Packard at the end of the war. Hudson's New Models The new Hudson was shown for the first time in Canada this week, It was a closed showing at- tended' only by distributors. and the press in Toronto. Following similar closed showings in the Kast and West, the public wg! ret-its first look. Production of the old models was suspended Sept. 19. Since then, the last steps have been ta- ken in a $16-million retooling program, This week, the first fruits of that program began to appear; a car that stands only five feet high but provides more headroom tham any other mass. produced automob. > today, Furthermore, Hudson claims its new car has the lowest centre of gravity of any American car, the roomiest seats; rear seat not only ahead of rear axls but ahead of rear wheel which "cradles" passengers between - the two axles; new super-six engine with more horsepawer than any other six on the market and an improv. ed super-eight. Ford: For .ome time Ford peo. ple have been working on a "com- pletely new" model. Henry Ford II has said it will represent the greatest change between lines since the Model A succeeded the Model T, No one with Ford of Canada will say anything, which itsel? is considered significant, Last year, there was no hesita- tion in announcing that 1947 models would be only slightly dif- ferent from 1946. This year, they're mum, This change of at- titude is heightened by GM's an- nouncement that they're planning no major changes, Whether the new Ford wil] be 'alled a 48 or '49 mode] remains '0 be seen, Hudson has specifi- 'ally requested that its new car be not referred to as a '48 car but merely as the "New Hudson," Kaiser's New Custom Kaiser-Fraiz © added to $n Pramé wan the Auto new model interest by coming out with a Kaiser Custom, a de luxe version of the Kaiser Stand- ard. However, K-F are expected to stick with their present styles for at least another year. At the same time K.F began making money for the first time. The K-F financial story; during the first five months of the year, they lost $1.4 millions (1946 loss, | $19.3 millions). By June they were pulling out of the red and by last month had earned $6.3 | million profit, In the last quar- ter, they expected to earn another $12 millions, Coinciding with this report were half-page ads in papers all across' the continent announcing K-F was pow focrth largest pro- ducer of automobiles. Last month, they produced their 100,000th car. A feature r; the postwar trend in autos in the United States is the swing to the station wagon. To a lesser degree, this is true in Canada as well. The popularity of the station wagon is due to more than a postwar fad. For one thing most companies made the 'bodies out of wood which is much easier to get tham steel. Then too, station wagons fotoh more in dollars and cents than the standard sedan models. Expensive lines rum as much as $1,000 more, Most of the big gain in this field is due to Willys-Overland. Last year they hit the station wa- gon jackpot. Of the 59,725 units built, 22,116 were station wag- ons or 45 per cent of the total output. This year the ratio will probably be higher, Sheduled for December was a | fancier version. the station sed- an, Due to come off the produe. tion lines at the same time; a racy, low-slung, loudly painted jeep sports phe ton designed to appeal to the college trade. A third model, a flve-passenger sedan is still in the mockup stage. Production is not expected until late in 1948. The jeep convertible will sell about $350 under Ford and Chev. converte | ibles; the new Willys sedan will be | in the now-price fleld, but, accord- | ing to James D. Mooney, president, it won't be any miracle. | As for the supply situation, th Canadian pleture is unch d Jasper W.
