A New Contribution to Automobile Design
This car is distinguished by its unusual provisions for safety and comfort at high speeds. Four passengers ride abreast in the front seat, two in the interior rumble seat. The safety interior is lined with rubber (slab) in all areas where injury might occur to riders during accidents. The car is built with front wheel drive, electric gear shift, four forward speeds, develops a speed of 122 m.p.h. with small engine, wheels independently sprung, hydraulic double-action set-type shock absorbers adjustable at dash, and thermostatically controlled air conditioning producing heat or cold. The car has neither fenders nor running boards, the seats are molded of cast rubber without springs, the ceiling and interior side-walls lined with cork composition ¾ inch thick; there is a layer of sponge rubber under all upholstery, while steel crash board has 2-inch thick rubber covering – everything sound-and-shock-proofed. All glass, bullet proof for safety, tinted green against glare, and slanted inward toward top, eliminating reflections; hidden all-wave radio with two speakers; roof doors open simultaneously and automatically with regular doors.
