Crimson Survey of 1935 Automobiles

Dodge

The Dodge stresses riding and driving comfort particularly this year, and gives itself the significant title of "Air-glide." There are many improvements which make for increased safety and easier steering.

Duesenberg

Still the aristocrat of the domestic automobiles, the Duesenberg has added a new Opera Brougham to its line of body types. And it remains the only American car without skirts on the fenders-and the most expensive.

Ford

Ford has gone streamline pretty heavily this year, with debatable improvements. He has added more room in the front seat, greater riding ease by moving the car forward over the front wheels and substituting a new type of springs. In most ways you would hardly recognize the new Great American Family Car.

Graham

As if there weren't enough cars in the low priced field, Graham has seen fit to put out a 2500 pound six, which boasts more inside room than any of its competitors, and seems to have it. All models have the new water jacketed cylinders through the full length of the piston stroke, and "Outboard Springs."

Hudson

Two important improvements distinguish the new Hudson. First, there is an all-steel one stretch body (including the roof) which offers greater safety and the opportunity to have the body color run without break even on to the roof. Second there is a modern version of the old electric-shifter called the "electric-hand" which allows one to shift in advance, and carries out these pre-arrangements when the proper time arrives.

Hupmobile

Hupmobile has managed to make a streamlined car that is different from the ordinary run. You'll find head-lights and spare tire blended into body lines, unusually wide doors, and a very roomy front seat.

LaSalle

For the most part precisely similar to its predecessor, the new LaSalle still is the extreme model in the medium-high class field. It has all the latest General Motors improvements.
