A complete range of models in both the Six and the Eight are availâ€" able for public inspection. The new car is a sixecylinder edition of the Straight Eight, available in both Standard and De Luxe models, six of the former and four of the latter. Its wheelbase is 112 inches compared with 117 inches for the Eight, which is preâ€" sented in four De Luxe models. In appearance the Six closely duplicates the Eight in its new interpretation of modern streamlining.

I doubt whether any manager of any motor car ccmpany would be willing to write down specifically what he exâ€" pects to exhibit at next year‘s motor show. "I can tell you, however, that the car of the future will be better than the cars you see today, because it is impossible for an industry as great as the automcbile industry to stang still. I can tell you that if committee exâ€" perts selected the most advanced model and put it in a glass case to protect it from wear, that car would be just as much out of date five years from now, as a fiveâ€"yearâ€"old car is today. "The automcbile isn‘t simply the proâ€" duct of a single industryâ€"it is the proâ€" duct of many industries. It moves ahead as a result of new discoveries angq developments in the rubber indusâ€" try, in the steel industry, in the petroâ€" leum industry, and it moves ahead as the roads you drive on improve, or as the way the public wants to use this piecs c¢cf transportation machineiy changes from year to year. Address on the Motor Car of the Future. â€" Tribute Paid to Inventor of Dunâ€" lop Tire. Mcotor car manulacturers will never be content with their product regardâ€" less cf the degree of thsir pyblic acâ€" ceptance, declared Charles F. Kettering, viceâ€"president in charge of enginecring and research of General Mot:rs Inc., in a resent address at the Advertising Club in New York City. "I have betn ask>4 to speak to you for a few moments on the general sub>â€" ject cf "The Motor Car of the Future." "People are wondering, after seeing the new m:dels, whether there is anything new we can add to the motor car of toâ€" day. They have wondsred the same thing every year in the past, and each new year has brought a crop Oof imâ€" provements. "Basically, the automobile of the fuâ€" ture will be whatever you, the public that uses it, wants it to be, limited only by the ability of hardâ€"working. scientâ€" ists and manufacturers to give you what you want. "You hear a lot ¢of people talking about such questions as where the enâ€" gine will e on cars in the future. That isn‘t a basic issue. It isn‘t something on which the automobile business can become divided as people become dividâ€" ed in a political campaign. We do not want to get ourselves split up into a frontâ€"engine party and a rearâ€"engine party. We simply want to put the enâ€" gine where it will do the best job of propslling the vehicle, with a due reâ€" gard to the way that you, the owner, want to use the vehicle, and even such questions as how much luggage you want to carry and how many pecple you want to take with you. "I might turn the question around and ask you, what will the motor car of the futurs be likeâ€"what do you want it to be? "But you can not answer that quesâ€" tion either. You can nOt express an opinion or a desire about something you have never seen. All you can do, is to look at this year‘s mcodels, try them and by your experience with them give us some clue as to what the next majJjor move should be. "The problem of automobile design has undergone quite a change in the past 20 years. In the early days we had great difficulty in getting a mechanism that would runâ€"a car that had satisâ€" factory durability, etc. But with the continual scientific advance in research and engineering perfection, we are able today to give you mechanisms that are gquaite satisfactory. "It is in view of this that a new phasg in motor car engineering preâ€" sents itself, and that is the projlem of designing the car for what it was oriâ€" ginally intended to doâ€"provide transâ€" portation for people and do it more satisfactorily than we have done it up to this time. "Progress in motor car dosign is a job cf balancing one factor against anâ€" other. It is a matter of compromise. We have to reckon with variable factors in climate and ‘weather. The average car owner operates his car at a range of temperatures almost as great as the difference between the thermometer reading at the equator and at the north pale. Some people drive their cars alâ€" most entirely in level country. Other people use their cars on hills and mcuntains. Seme people use their "I khave mentionsd the influence that progress in other industries has on the progress of the automobile. I do believe many of us recognize that the pneumatic tire is the one and allâ€"imâ€" portant thing that has made the motor car industry. I have always wondered just exactly how Dunlop‘s ne’lghbmlml cars primarily on open highways and others use thsir cars almost entirely in congested traffic and we do not know when the car leaves the factcry, unâ€" der which Of these conditions it will be used. This comes back to the fact that the way you want to use your car deâ€" listed him when he proposed to fill a cube full of air and roll it on the ground when nobody up to that time haq ever seen anything but a sclid tire in con-u tact with the earth. And yet that very simple notion is that thing that makes termines how it will develop in the future, and what combinations or comâ€" promises Cf all these various factors will need to be worked out to produce the transportation that is most satisâ€" factory to you. P "Another one of the great influential factors that has entered into the buildâ€" ing cf motor vehiclese has been alloy steel. This has made possible the constructicn of lightâ€"weight, strong and ecxcecdingly durable mechanical parts. It has contributed to the safety of the motor car as perhaps no Other thing, because light steels have a characterisâ€" possible this encrmous transportatiOn system which we call the motor car inâ€" dustry, ‘because, without it, it would not make any difference what kind of engines or fuels we hadâ€"withâ€" out the pneumatic tire it would be imâ€" possible to have a high speed motor car. Until a few years ago, trucks usâ€" ed solid rubber tires, and they had to crawl along the highways. Today, they use pneumatic tires, angd because these tires are now practical for trucks, truck engines are now built to drive a truck at approximately the speed of a passenger car. tic of not breaking under overâ€"stress, but simply cf yielding with an obstinats resistance. The steel maker must reâ€" ceive a very great debt of gratitude for the contribution he has made to the building up of the motor car industry.

It is but putting into words, the conâ€" viction that is in the minds of all Canadian business men, for me to say that we all anticipate that 1935 will see a still further improvement in genâ€" eral business conditions in Canada. The automobile industry played a very substantial part in the improveâ€" ment of conditions in 1934, as this inâ€" dustry has so many ramifications, and directly and indirectly gives employâ€" ment to so many thousands of people. I believe I am quite safe in sayingy that when the records of business for 1935 are compiled, the autcmobile inâ€" dustry will again show a swostantial improvement over the preceding yeay, Gross weights have been decreased and pay loads increased in the 1935 trucks due to the use of lighter and more durable allsys. Engine and brakâ€" ing equipment has been improved. Solid tires are almost entirely obsolets and a commanding pjrecentage of the vehicles are being equipped with low pressure pneumatic tires.
