Auburn presented few changes but added a "Salon" eight and twelve to its line.

Austin ("The only car that will run 40 miles on a gallon") presented only one new model, the Suburban Coupe. Capacity: two adults, two children.

The new Buicks, longer and roomier, showed what .has been done since last May by the new manufacturing chief, I. J. Reuter, once with Opel. An automatic clutch and Startex (starter automatic with ignition switch) are standard equipment. Large doors opening flush with the running board add to the low appearance of the car.

Continental ("Powerful as the Nation"), the year's conservative newcomer, calls its four the ''Beacon" and its sixes "Ace" and "Flyer."

Cadillac V16 production will be limited to 400 cars, each bearing a plate with its number and the owner's name. Cadillacs and La Salles bear distinctive labels in the upper left-hand corner of their sloping- radiators and have vacuum brake-boosters, last year available only on the two big Cadillacs.

"The Finest Car Ever to Bear My Name. W. P. Chrysler" was painted on the Chrysler chassis. The entire Chrysler line has new valve seat inserts and all but Plymouth have the "Coincidental Starter."

The speed of the new Chevrolets, which are longer and lower, has been stepped up to 70 m. p. h. The cars feature "aer-streaming," a modified type of streamlining which includes fender skirts.

De Soto has an automatic choke and retains the oval-shaped radiator which Byron P. Foy first saw on a racing car. The lady on the radiator-cap wears fewer drapes than during 1932.

The first things one notices about the new Dodge are its over-sized (16 in. by 6 in.) Air Wheel Tires, for which the steering gear has been redesigned.

The Essex Terraplane claimed the lowest centre of gravity, the highest power per pound. It has a red light which flashes when oil pressure is low, another when the battery is low.

Franklin, with its Olympic 6 enters the lower middle-price field for the first time. All its models have super-chargers.

Graham showed a definite engineering accomplishment with a low-sunk chassis made possible by running the rear axle through the frame instead of under it.

Hudson again offered a Super-Six, the first return to larger cylinders since the trend to multiple cylinders began. It has a ventilation-control system, optional automatic clutch control.

Lincoln as usual stressed its coachwork. The Lincoln discontinued an 8 and added a V12.

Mar man is concentrating on its 16-cylinder aluminum motor, designed by Col. Howard C. Marmon.

The new Nash, offered in five lines, has a comparatively high hood and a low, sloped windshield of safety glass. It is big and graceful at the same time. Says Chairman Charles William Nash: "In 40 years of manufacturing I have never chosen to build a cheap car." The Nash Ambassador and Advanced Eights have dash-regulated ride control.

Oldsmobile radiators match the bodies in color and the car is much lower than before, liberally streamlined. It has an automatic choke.

The Packards all have automatic chokes, power-brakes with a regulator giving four kinds of brake action, ventilation control.

The new Plymouth six has shockless cross-steering and a tubular front-axle. "Look at all three" is still the motif of Plymouth advertising.

A new eight-cylinder Pontiac has supplanted the six and is of entirely new appearance with a wide, low body.

The Reo Flying Cloud and Royale both appear with radiators sharply slanted, automatic chokes, rubber engine mountings.

Both Studebaker and Fierce-Arrow are equipped with power-brakes. Fierce-Arrow uses a mechanical power-brake made by Stewart Warner, has adopted worm drive. Studebaker uses a vacuum-booster Bendix brake.

Economy in gasoline consumption and sturdy construction were featured by Stutz which showed five models with some of the most graceful lines in the show.
