Crimson Survey of 1935 Automobiles

Nash's threat to the low-priced field has a now kind of springing this year, which gives greater comfort and requires no lubrication. Otherwise there isn't much difference, externally.

Lincoln

The Lincoln continues with twelve cylinders sensible streamlining, and its air of distinction. It has a new front-end with redesigned radiator and head-lamps.

Nash

One-piece steel body, super-hydraulic brakes and ball-bearing steering are the new features of the Nash. By accentuating the slope in front and rear, the makers have produced a very streamlined car, indeed.

Oldsmobile

Though not as extreme as many of its brethren, the Oldsmobile is not behind the times. Like all General Motor cars it has improvements in body, steering, and ride-stabilizer. All models have greater horsepower than heretofore.

Packard

A new and handsome Packard has made its appearance, and the price is under a thousand dollars. You will recognize the traditional Packard lines in all models, and find all the latest mechanical improvements.

Plymouth

Like the Ford, the Plymouth has gone streamline, has pushed its body forward, has new and safer body construction. Other improvements are a new and comprehensive cooling system which applies even to the rear axle. And the motor has a high compression ratio (6.7 to 1.)

Pontiac

The General Motor's new Turret-Top is featured particularly in the Pontiac. Also included are the following; improved knee-action, special hydraulic brakes, silver alloy bearings, improved ventilation and cooling, electro-plated pistons and a radiator grille that apparently runs right over the top of the hood into the windshield.

Reo

Reo is still the only car with a complete Self-Shifter-Transmission. Externally it is hardly different from any other streamlined car, though the makers claim to be the originators and evolutionary leaders in that field.

Studebaker

"Planar-wheel suspension" for greater riding ease, compound hydraulic brakes and steel bodies "reinforced by steel" (to go the others one better) for safety, and "skyway silhouette" with "slim, silvery radiators, intriguing new hood louvers, and gull's wing fenders" for improved body lines-these are the contributions Studebaker has made this year to their models and to the advertising jargon.

Terraplane

In addition to new features found on all cars in the low-price field, the Terra-plane, like the Hudson, has a modified self-shifter called the "Electric Hand" and increased horsepower. Somehow, the streamlining seems to have been more tastefully done than on the Fords.
