GONQUERS HILL IN HIGH CLIMB Three of the stiffest climbs to be found hereabouts have recently been triumphantly topped by the new Oldsmobile Six, piloted by Ted Barger, inveterate hill climber of J. W. Leavitt & Company, Oldsmobile distributors in Los Angeles. The last was the Grand avenue hill, which didn't even make the engine puff for breath unless something was done. So something was done. As it was impossible, or at least too much of an undertaking, to make the hill steeper, Barger made the going more difficult by piling 10 of his co-workers at J. W. Leavitt & Company on the machine before starting the ascent. Just as on all its other hill climbing trials, the Oldsmobile negotiated the ascent of Grand avenue in high gear without ever a falter. Barger is determined to bring the Oldsmobile Six to the attention of Southern California if he has to make the car do a tight-rope act. He believes that the little six, which first came into prominence a year or so ago, when it was offered to the public at a price which made it the lowest priced six in the world, would make the average man who is unacquainted with its possibilities sit up and take notice. "We are not climbing these hills," explained Barger, "to prove anything to ourselves. We know what this little bear-cat will do, but there's lots of folks who are driving other cars who have to go up the same hills in second with only four or five in the car. If we can take the Oldsmobile body by Studebaker, its special appointments and its construction features which permit rear-seat passengers to leave and enter the car without the front-seat passengers leaving their seats, the coach has won immediate approval." Mr. Riley said. "No less has been the success of the broughtam, a new Studebaker creation, also with the body by Studebaker. This car, selling at less than median cost, yet giving sedan comfort, with its full size seats, four doors and rear oval windows set at a smart angle, fully meets the demand of those who seek something different and distinctive. "With the factory able to supply us with these models, because Studebaker now builds all of its own bodies, we are in a position to make immediate deliveries on the broughtam and deliveries very soon on the new coach," Mr. Riley said. DESCRIBE BUILDING OF PACKARD BODY "Have you ever heard of a glue holding so firmly that two pieces of wood glued together and subjected to strain in a testing machin will tear apart in the wood rather than in the glued joint?" is a question C. W. Cromer, manager of Dale & Company, Packard distributors for Anaheim, is fond of asking. The remarkable staying property of this glue is merely one of the many details that go to make Packard bodies one of the most perfect examples of the body-building art. Packard has always believed that beauty should be more than paint deep and in a score of ways that seem insignificant in themselves, Packard bodies are built to live up to that belief. Packard was among the first to use metal lips or assembly frames which cord. The size which he cessor. The 5-inch to the 5-inch is new and section man of the 33.6, 7.30 balloon.

We know what this little bear-cat will do, but there's lots of folks who are driving other cars who have to go up the same hills in second with only four or five in the car. If we can take the Oldsmobile up those hills in high gear, and with a load that is from two to three times the size of the ordinary load, it should prove that the Oldsmobile Six has something these other cars haven't. That's what I'm trying to bring out." Barger hasn't said how long his hill climbing complex will last, but it is understood that he is hunting for further fields to conquer. 8 SHOW NEW WILLYS-KNIGHT MODELS HERE Willys-Knight and Overland sixes have been given their Anaheim debut by George N. Nolan, Jr., at his showroom, 306 North Los Angeles street. These models have been one of the outstanding sensations of every 1925 automobile show in the country, said Mr. Nolan. "With the sweeping lines and flowing contours, radiator narrower and deeper, giving that aristocratic sleekness so marked in the costliest cars of European builders, the new designs are models that captivate the eye with their luxury and good taste," says Mr. Nolan. The new Willys-Knight six line includes touring, roadster, four-passenger coupe, coupe-sedan, sedan and brougham, finished in keeping with the very latest vogues in body design and coloring, and mounted on a 126-inch chassis, said to be exceptionally sturdy. The motor, culmination of 11 years' practice in building Knight engines, is 3¼x4½ with force feed and spray lubrication from a large gear pump in the crankcase, and a combination oil pressure regulator. These new Willys-Knight six models have six brakes, two in front and four in the rear, of simple mechanical design, giving a total braking surface of 441½ square inches. They carry Watson stabilizers as standard equipment. The predominating color of the various models is a rich two-tone gray with bright stripings in orange and fond of asking. The remarkable staying property of this glue is merely one of the many details that go to make Packard bodies one of the most perfect examples of the body-building art. Packard has always believed that beauty should be more than paint deep and in a score of ways that seem insignificant in themselves, Packard bodies are built to live up to that belief. Packard was among the first to use metal jigs or assembly frames, which are huge devices of iron, steel and aluminum. These jigs set invariable limits by inflexible measurements and unvarying accuracy, and so insure that the ten-thousandth body will be as perfect as the first off the assembly frames. It is said absolute and mathematical accuracy avoids any possibility of squeak or rattle and the bane of a "weaving body." A gigantic machine stamps out Packard cowls from one piece of 18-gauge steel at a single stroke. Packard doors are also made of one-piece 18-gauge steel fashioned from a continuous-stamping, while the rear seat panel below the belt, one of the most important panels of any car, is constructed of high quality steel that any unforeseen damage that might occur will not injure or destroy the usefulness of the original metal. In Packard specifications one point insisted upon is that there shall be no metal-to-metal contact. Between metal-to-metal contacts a thick layer of wadding or cork fabric is placed, and even the body itself rests upon one-quarter-inch layer of felt instead of upon the bare chassis. As a result of all this painstaking care in the matter of little details, the bodies are quiet and free from squeaks and rattles. BALLOON TIRES "I tire manufacturers certainly made it tough for a great many car owners and for some of us dealers too, for a while, by the mystic and unusual figures with which they marked the sizes of balloon tires," says S. R. Walter of the Anaheim Vulcanizing Company, distributors of General Tires in Anaheim. "The method of marking still continues and causes many a motorist to scratch his head when first he tries to figure out what size of balloon tires are applicable to his car and what the size figures actually mean. "This is no attempt to alibi for the These new Willys-Knight six models have six brakes, two in front and four in the rear, of simple mechanical design, giving a total braking surface of 441½ square inches. They carry Watson stabilizers as standard equipment. The predominating color of the various models is a rich two-tone gray with bright stripings in orange and red at the belt lines. Interior appointments are rich-looking and of durable material. The new Overland six now being displayed in Anaheim for the first time opens a new chapter in Willys-Overland production and sales history. It is built to meet the requirements of the great mass of car owners who have longed for the smooth operation of a six combined with the year-round comfort of a good closed car, priced within their means, this car is in every way as near the American motorist's ideal as one make of car can be. "While the new six-cylinder models, both on Willys-Knight and Overland chassis, have been designed and built to fill particular needs, the Overland and Willys-Knight fours continue to be a most important part of the Willys-Overland sales and production plan for 1925." NEW STUDEBAKERS GAIN POPULARITY Instant popularity has come to the newest Studebaker creations—the coach and brougham—which made their appearance in Anaheim last week at the salesrooms of the Harry D.

It may be Hudson, or it may be an Essex—but whichever it is, the quarter-millionth coach is on its way, the Hudson Motor Car Company's factory having already built more than 200,000 cars of this type and now being well started toward the quarter-million milestone. Such was the announcement made here this week by H. R. Groves, Hudson-Essex distributor in Anaheim and Fullerton.
