Why An Auto Show?

An Auto Show provides the public with a relaxed convenient opportunity to see all makes and styles of automobiles side by side, and compare their various features.

Each make of car displayed on the Show floor is shown in as full a range of models as space permits and men fully versed in explaining the merits of the cars are here to serve you.

Perhaps the most noticeable trait of the men who exhibit the cars is their friendly attitude toward the public and toward one another. It is their firm con-viction that the public can best be served by friendli-ness, so in this spirit, they agree on a principle of sin-cere and honest service to the people who attend the Show.

These capable men believe that knowledge of what makes an automobile go and what is built into the car to make it a vehicle of necessary strength, comfort and endurance is of the utmost importance. They be-lieve that you, the public should know all this and they are here to enlighten you. Thus by your understanding of the "inner side" of an auto you gain knowledge which invites the care every automobile should receive to insure its long life, and at the same time it promotes a better understanding of safety which, in turn, insures your longer life.

The Auto Show can therefore be regarded as an Institute of Public Information and out of it comes a better appreciation of cars and their proper handling.

Further, the Auto Show gives you an opportunity to see the cut-away component parts of the cars in actual operation. These displays are seldom seen in the dealers' show rooms as they have been built by the manufacturers at enormous cost (as high as $50,000 for a single display) just to be presented at various shows. Our show is particularly fortunate in having been able to obtain an unusually large number of these interesting and instructive exhibits.

When looking at the cars, do not hesitate to ask questions regardless of how simple or complicated the questions may be. Learn the facts before you purchase and in this way obtain the car best suited to your needs and in a price range that best fits your budget. Do not be in doubt about any of the characteristics of the car you buy, but become familiar with its every feature.

'68 Dodge Charger

The automobile, . circa

It arrived, of course, amid widespread controversy; work stoppages, price hikes, several new and not al-together popular or practical safety s tandards, and, for the first time, mandatory application of anti-smog exhaust controls.

Yet, despite all of these complications, the atmos-phere was filled with optimism.

If these concensus projections, robust as they were, come true and 1968 does turn out to be a vintage year, it obviously will not be due to any of the factors that seemed to cloud its unveiling.

The final accounting will be determined by the cash customers.

What are the sales attractions for '68? They're certainly broader than 1967 when the do-

mestic industry clearly defined its battlefield as the specialty car market.

This time the concentration has shifted to the in-termediate field, which should prove to be a brisk trad-ing area.

For one thing, it smacks a bit of the same excite-ment which has made the specialty car so popular ... not too big, yet not too small ... plus a youthful design flair. And it's a bigger market, rising to 27 per cent of the total.

'68 Virtually every domestic manufacturer chose to

re-do its intermediate line. Naturally, the provocative long hood, short deck " look" prevails .

One new nameplate was even established in the " in-between category that separates compacts, dwind-ling breed, and standard size automobiles. lt was Lin-coln-Mercury division's Montego, which was created to compete favorably in size and market position with the GM intermediates and to overcome the "compact" identity of its Comet line.

Chrysler-Plymouth division chose this market clas-sification to offer what it termed a "new concept" car-the low budget, high performance Road Runner, named after a TV cartoon character.

In a year that saw the domestic industry pare its numbers of models for the first time in nine years, the selection of intermediates was boosted from 122 to 124 in 1968, embracing the Chevrolet Chevelle, Dodge Coro-net, Oldsmobile F-85, Ford Fairlane, Mercury Montego, Plymouth Belvedere, Rambler Rebel, Buick Special, and Pontiac Tempest. Overall, industry's model count total of 1968 is 357, down from 370 in 1967.

After a thorough inspection of the intermediate line-up, it appears that the 1968 breed of "in-be-tweenies" will pose some serious competition for the specialty "crowd."

Pontiac again offers one of the widest va rieties of engine-transmission-axle ratio combina-ti ons avai lable. For example: The standard engine for Tempest, Tempest Custom and Le Mans is the Overhead Cam 6 with 1-BBL carburetor, which delivers 175 hp. This engine mates with th e 3-speed manual transmission and a 3.08:1 rear axle ratio. However, you can order either the 4-BBL Ove rhead Cam 6 (215 hp) or one of two 350-cu.-in. V-8s (265 hp and 320 hp) in combination with either the automatic or 4-speed manual transmission and a performance rea r axle ratio. GTO comes equipped with a standard 350-hp, 400-cu.-in. V-8, or you can order the optional 265-h p, 2-BBL V-8 (with Turbo Hydra-Matic only) or up to 360-hp, Quadra-

Power 400 V-8. There are six available engines (some optional at extra cost) for the regular-sized Pontiacs. They range in horsepower and carburetion from the 265-hp, 2- BBL, regular-fuel version all the way up to the 3g0-hp, Quad ra- Power, 428 HO. The 3-speed , all-synchro manual transmission is standard, while the fully synchronized, 4-speed manual (with 428 -cu .-in. engines only) and Turbo Hydra-Matic are optional at extra cost. In certai n power tra in combinations, a close-ratio 4-s peed can be ordered, as can ratios ranging from the economical 2.29:1 all the way to 4.33:1. Of course, there are certain speci fic restrict ions on some power train combinations. Be sure to a.k your dealer for more detailed information.

Pontiac Motor Division of General Motors Corporation reserves the right to make changes at any time, without not1ce, in colors, materia ls. equipmen t, specifications, prices and models-and also to discontinue models.

The right is also reserved to change any specifica tions, parts or equipment at any time without incurr ing any obligation to equip same on cars built prior to date of such change.

And all along you thought you had to forsake Wide-Tracking when you moved up to a luxury car.

We have no idea how this misconception ever got off the ground. For. as you can observe below. Bonneville isn 't just another fantastic Pontiac.

It begins with a long. lean body. poised on the biggest w heelbase we make-124 inches. Inside. you're greeted by the opu lence of nylon -blend broadloom that extends door-to-door and then some. Generous swathes of simulated burl gra ined Carpathi an elm abound on doors and dash . And upholstery is no less fine: every-

thing from exquisite cloth and supple Morrokide. to aii -Morrokide. And if you're the kind w ho requires even more pampering . there's our Brougham Option . It includes extra touches of lu xury like ri ch. cloth uphol-stery so stately you may not wan t to be seated.

TIPS FOR MOTORISTS

Growing Needs Make a Second Car Pay It's Way

POINTERS ON PICKING THE RIGHT ONE

If your wife "remembers" a club meeting on the morning you planned to drive to work ... if your oldest son always seems to have his hand out for the car keys .. . if you get off the 5: 19 with no family hack in sight to carry you homeward .. . if your car always seems to be full of garden supplies - brother, your brood needs more transportation!

The cost? Not too big a bite, when you consider the excellent used cars available today. Or, if you're thinking of buying a new car, it might pay you to assign second-car duty to your old car instead of trad-ing it in.

Typically, an additional ca r a paying proposition when these circums ta;;,

A move from the city to the country, where fam-ily life is built upon connecting scattered points (home, school, shops, church, theater, friends), but public transportation is spotty. The homemaker suddenly finds herself in need of a car all day, every day.

Change of job to one that requires driving to work, or driving as part of the job, by the bread-win-ner. Now his wife realizes how much she needed the car on weekends.

Maturing of teen-agers to driver age, when a car becomes a major social asset in their lives.

Sharing of one family car among two or more drivers will work all right as long as their needs don't conflict in time or place. It doesn't work at all when such conflicts pop up daily. Then the problem boils down to what kind of second car, and how much. Used car or new car?

How old should your second car be? This should be governed by the amount of use you think it will get. If you know your second car will be lightly d riven, if your youngster is the prime mover in this venture , or if you want to try the second car idea for a few months, buy an older model that you can resell for close to its purchase price.

long distances is expected a later model will pay off in terms of reliability and unused mileage.

When should you buy a new car and let the old car step down to the role of "second"? First, look at the condition of the car. If it's so well along in years and miles as to become a repair problem, better trade it in. Even in junior use, it will now deteriorate rapidly.

Look at your equity in your present car. For ex-ample, assume you have completed more than two-thirds of the payments on it. You have cash enough to buy a used car. Putting this cash into a down payment instead, you can probably acquire a new car with little or no increase in monthly payments.

Here are some suggestions:

If you now own a sedan or station wagon, the downright fun of an open car will be a welcome change. But the "soft top" is not so good for a to-and-from-the-office car exposed to constant weathering all day. Think twice if you don't have a two-car garage to protect it. If you want one anyway, look for a used convertible with sound top, good paint.

Hardtop or Family Sedan. Usually excellent dol-lar values if bought used. Fine for smaller families, commuters, businessmen. Your best bet if you don 't need the special advantages of a station wagon or if you now own a convertible. Hardtops have a distinct social advantage in their stylish appearance.

Station Wagon. Essential for the owner of a small retail or service business and for the family with a seashore or resort summer place. Perfect, too, if vou 're a do-it-yourselfer, gardener, sportsman, or head of a large clan.

Used wagons are generally priced higher than other styles of the same make and year, but they hold their investment very well. Excellent buy, for cargo space alone, if your "good" car is a convertible or high-style hardtop.

Economy Six Sedan. For the same money, you can buy a "fleet" car (no equipment other than the heater) that's one or even two years newer than any other car type. Best bet for commuters or hard use. Six-cylinder engine is serviceable, easy on gas. If you want utility along with recent styling, this is your best second-car buy.

Blue and green were the most popular colors for cars 50 years ago, according to a 1909 survey. At the bottom of the list were black and white.

Every man has his price. These are ours. And you don't have to figure out how much the

extras will add to the price of the Volkswagen you buy. We already figured them in.

By building them in . Things like heater/ defrosters, windshield wash-

ers and adjustable bucket seats are part of the car. You can't own a VW without owning them, too.

!Things like whitewalls are extra, as you might expect. But we tell you that in the*}

A Volkswagen won't only cost you less to drive out in . It'll cost you less to drive around in.

VW sedans (even the 65 hp Fastback and Square-

back} get up to 27 miles to a gallon. Even the biggest Volkswagen, our boxy station

wagon, gets up to 23. They all take oil by the pint. !Even the expensive-

looking Karmann Ghia.l And never cost you a cent for anti-freeze because Volkswagen engines are air-cooled .

But if you still don't care to sell out so cheap, there is one way to raise the price of a Volkswagen. Get a sunroo f. With the beetle, Fastback or Squareback.

(for no money at all, of course, you can come in and see them all in person.!

The best two-car garage in the country.

The best garages are filled with 1968 Buicks. Who cou ld afford more than one? You most likely. Start with (left) the 112 inch wheelbase Buick Skylark-the handy-sized measure of Buick prestige at ordinary-car prices. Snuggle a new Buick Electra in next to it. And you'll have a garage that's the envy of the neighborhood. The choice doesn 't stop there, either. You can pick your pair from eight new Buick series for 1968. So we say: Wouldn't you r eally rather have your Buick dealer fill your garage this year?

The '68 Buicks are talking your language.

1968 Chrysler Specifications A few thousand words for the mon who'd like to know why his Chrysler will be worth more if he ever decides to sell it. Body Construction: All structural steel frame members, body braces, sills, and metal panels that make up the body hove been welded into a single unit. There are over 5,000 individual welds in each Unibody. The result is a solid shell of unusual strength-and silence. Once welded together, all Unibodies are dipped and sprayed 6 times in a series of cleaning, rinsing, and rust-inhibiting chemical baths. A 7th step is immersion in a special corrosion-resistant primer that covers both inside and outside of all lower body sheet metal and structural members. Brakes: All Chryslers have a dual braking system, one for front wheels, the other for rear wheels. If a hydraulic leak ar malfunction should develop in one system, the other serves as a back-up. A warning light on the instrument pone I notifles the driver whenever pressure or brake fluid is low in either system. The parking brake is connected to cables that apply the rear wheel brakes. A warning light notifles drivers when the perking brake is on. Chrysler brakes are self-adjusting whenever they are applied while transmission is in reverse. Chrysler brakes are also the largest standard brakes in the low or medium price class. Effective lining area is 223.4 sq. in. for Newports and Newport Customs, 234.1 sq. in. far all other models. Optional front disc brakes are available on all Chryslers. Total swept area is 437.1 square inches. Cleaner Air System: This system of engine exhaust emission control provides for a more complete burning of the fuel-air mixture in combustion chambers, and consequently a reduction of unburned hydro-carbons and carbon monoxide concentrated in the exhaust system. The Cleaner Air System consists primarily of: a slightly altered distributor, to retard spark at idle; a modifled carburetor for lean fuel/air mixture at part throttle; and other modifications to the combustion chamber design, induction system and exhaust system. Cooling System: Chrysler's radiator and block, including heater, have a 17 quart

1968 Engine Availability

coolant capacity (18 quart with 440 engine). A thermostatic by-pass control and pressure vent radiator cap regulate temperatures automatically. Electrical System: Chrysler's 12-volt battery is rated ·at 59-ampere-hours. (70-ampere-hours with 440 engine). Alternator is rated at 37 ampere. Electric windshield wipers are standard. 2-speeds on Newport, Newport Custom, 300. 3-speeds on Town & Country and New Yorker. Engines: Chrysler's standard and optional engines are advanced-design, overhead valve V-8s. Combustion chambers are wedge-shaped for efflcient fuel burning. Pistons are lightweight aluminum, with steel struts for heat expansion control. Connecting rods and crankshaft are of forged steel. Tappets are operated hydraulically. Exhaust valves of hardened steel-alloy are heat resistant, and rotate to equalize wear and extend valve life. Cleaner Air System reduces air pollution, keeps vital engine parts cleaner. Mufflers and tailpipes on all engines are aluminized to resist corrosion. (See engine chart below.) Fuel System: Fuel flow is governed by an automatic choke and mechanical fuel pump on all Chryslers. Tank capacity is 22 gallons on Town & Country models, 24 on all other Chryslers. There are two fuel fllters. A woven plastic 40-micron fllter in the gasoline tank, and a replaceable 15-micron paper fllter in the fuel line between fuel pump and carburetor. Transmission and Rear Axle: A 3-speed manual transmission is standard on Newports and Newport Custom . Outside clutch diam-eter is 11". The release bearing is a permanently lubricated ball bearing type. Second and third gears are synchronized for smooth, silent upshifting. Synchronizer springs are stainless steel. The TorqueFiite automatic 3-speed trans-mission is standard on Town & Country, 300, and New Yorker, and is optional on Newport and Newport Custom. TorqueFiite's torque converter is water-cooled. It combines with a balanced 3-speed gear assembly to provide continued smooth and economical shifting. Special transmission oil, installed at the

factory, stays thin at low temperatures to provide easier cold-weather starling and smoother operation . Suspension and Handling: Torsion-Aire suspension consists of 2 chrome-steel torsion bars up front, and leaf springs in the rear. The result is a level and responsive ride in all drivir1g maneuvers. A sway bar in front helps body resist lean. Diagonally-mounted steel struts reinforce the front wheel lower control arms.

R. A. D. A. Serves the Dealer and the Public

The automobile business has undergone a phenom-enal growth during the past half century, and with its mushrooming expansion have come a number of com-plex problems.

Today the automobile business is not only big busi-ness but also a somewhat problematical business, if the proper relationship is to be maintained between dealer and customer.

One reason for the existence of such an organiza-tion as the Rochester Automobile Dealers Association is to improve constantly the standards of service to the motoring public and to clarify complicated issues, both on a local and national scale, as they develop.

The automobile dealers of Rochester are as highly competitive as any similar group anywhere, but, by getting together as members of the association and thrashing out their problems in an argumentative but friendly manner, they have succeeded in establishing an unwritten code of ethics that benefits both the public and themselves.

We believe that today, the fact that a dealer is a member of the RADA establishes him as an ethical op-erator in whom the buyer or prospective buyer can have confidence.

It also means that the advertising of member dealers, in whatever medium, is factual and trust-

worthy. It means, too, that the service jobs performed by

these dealers are dependable and that the work is done by skilled mechanics who really know their business.

All of these things have a two-fold aim: 1) to assure satisfaction to the buyers of new or used cars, and (2) to promote greater safety for the motorist through expert car servicing.

From time to time, the Rochester Automobile Deal-ers' Association has bought advertisements in the local newspapers to explain complicated issues that have re-sulted from changes in government rulings regarding purchase and credit terms, price ceilings, etc.

Although in actualitythe so called "family car" is an unbelievably complex piece of mechanism, the aver-age American, with little or no mechanical knowledge, drives month after month, year after year, in safety thanks to the marvelous quality of the American pro-duct and, secondly, to thorough dependability of serv-ice by the dealer which keeps that car in good running order.

By constant vigilance, and exchange of ideas, and mutual agreement upon ethics, the emblem of the RADA has come to be accepted as a guarantee of ex-pert dependable service, trustworthy sales practice and reliable advertising.

Best Wishes For .Another Great

.And. .Another GRE.AT Year Of Sales 1

with the continued support of WHEC-TV RADIO, your sales partners since 1925.

It does things other small cars shouldn't do.

Cornering at high speeds is one of the last things to expect small cars to do, successfully. Unless it's a SAAB, the out-of-the-ordinary small car. Out of the ordinary because it has front-wheel drive. So it doesn't push you around like others do. It pulls you around cor-ners, curves and other drivers' mistakes. Is that all SAAB has? Not on your life. Most ordinary cars don't give you, even as options, all the standard SAAB safety features. As an optional extra, our new V-4 engine has a LIFETIME GUARANTEE. Unusual overseas plan : Free Shipment from Sweden to P.O.E. East Coast . You can drive it like a big car.

Your car has five numbers on the speedometer. Volvo has six.

One could get the impression that the people who made your car lack a little confidence.

The Volvo speedometer (odometer in automotive talk) goesupto999,999 before it flips back to 0. We dare say your car will never make it.

Of course, neither will a Volvo. But what a Volvo can do is go beyond

a mere 99,999. Volvo, remember, is the car that lasts

an average of eleven years in Sweden. Eleven years, at say 10,000 miles a year works out to 110,000 miles.

Now we don't guarantee that a Volvo will last eleven years here in the States-or go 110,000 miles. But we do know that over 95% of all the Volvos registered here in the last eleven years are still on the road.

There are also Volvo dealers who have complained bitterly about people driving 100,000 miles on previous (5 digit) Volvos, letting the odometers flip back to zero, driving another 30,000 or so miles and trying to peddle them as low-mileage cars.

So naturally, when we made the new

Volvo 144, the sixth digit on the odometer was inevitable.

But an odometer that tells you how far you can go isn't the only thing you'lllike about a Volvo.

There's also a gas gauge that tells you how economically you're getting there. Volvo gets nearly 25 miles to a gallon, even with automatic transmission.

Basically, that's the difference between Volvos and other cars.

Other cars go a little way and use a lot of gas.

Volvos go a long way and use a little gas.

Find another car under $2,000 with all these advantages,

and we'll buy it for you.

35 miles per gallon And that's an honest 35. (A lot of peo-ple say they get more.)

Concave seats that recline for sleeping

You know how soft foam rubber is. Well, that's the stuff we stuff our seats with. So if you sleep well at home you'll sleep well in a Renault 10. You'll sit well, too. There are 18 adjust-able seat positions. And 13% inches of seat travel to make up for short or long legs.

Engine over the drive wheels In the winter you'll pass a lot of those big powerful cars. The rear drive wheels can really bear down on snow and ice because the en-tire engine is bearing down on them.

4 doors as standard equipment The two back doors make it easy to get to the back seat. Logical?

4-wheel independent suspension Independent suspension means each wheel can move up or down without moving the one on the other side. So when one wheel hits a bump, only one gets bumped. The other three keep the car and you going in a level position.

4-wheel disc brakes Because of this system's ability to withstand heavy braking without fade, t;1ey have long been used on cars cap-able of over 160 m.p.h. Imagine how fast they can make the Renault 10 stop.

4-speed synchromesh transmission This design synchronizes the speeds

of the engine and the transmission to allow the gears to mesh easily. Which makes shifting a lot easier on you and your transmission.

Wet sleeve When the cylinders wear out in a con-ventional engine, the whole engine has to be pulled out and rebored. (Some-times it pays to buy a new car.) A Renault 10 piston moves in a remov-able wet sleeve. (It's 'wet' because it's surrounded by liquid coolant.) If the sleeve wears out, it can be easily re-placed.

Liquid cooling system with expansion tank

Water-cooled engines are much quieter than air-cooled engines. But in ordi-nary water-cooled engines, water and anti-freeze can frequently overflow and escape. Our system, however, has a tank which keeps the overflow from escaping. So you won't have to add anything. (But we do recommend checking the system about every 18 months.)

5-main bearing engine Instead of three bearings, we support the crankshaft at five points, (which is more than some six cylinder engines do).

Draft-free ventilation On a hot day you don't have to get your hair blown off. You can roll up the windows, open the dashboard vents, crack the back win-dows, and enjoy a little peace and quiet.

Rack and pinion steering Driving is no time for playing. That's why we use a system that eliminates play in the steering wheel.

This applies to all new cars (exclusive of other Renaults, of course) ava ilable in the United States at the t ime of printing of this ad .

Whitewalls, automatic transmission, air conditioning optional.

KESSLER MOTORS RIDGE AT LAKE

Turning circle of 30 feet A short turning circle means you can make most u-turns in one clean sweep. (That funny little car you've seen so much of has a turning circle of 36 feet.)

2-speed hot-water heater and double outlet defroster (at no extra cost)

Our heater uses the same hot water that circulates around the engine. And because water heats more evenly than air, our system can produce more even heat than any of the air-type heaters.

11 cubic feet of trunk capacity We're not the biggest in this compart-ment but we're not the smallest, either. The smallest has 2.3 cubic feet, which is about as much space as we have be-hind our back seat.

A separate compartment for the spare tire

If you get a flat, you don't have to un-load all your luggage to unload your spare tire. And you don't have to get dirt on everything when you put the flat tire away.

15 inch wheel A larger wheel makes fewer revolu-tions to go the same distance. Which means you save rubber. Which means you save money.

Acceleration 0-60 in 15.0 seconds Top speed 84 m.p.h.

Isn't that fast enough?

Price- Under $2,000 Way under $2,000.

Now there's a Jaguar XK-E for everyone.

Two-seater convertible, two-seater coupe. Now the new 2 + 2 with automatic transmission. This newest Jaguar has more headroom and leg-room than the 2-seater models, a fully up-

holstered rear seat for two passengers, easier entry through a wider door, and the choice of auto-matic transmission or the standard 4-speed fully synchromesh gearbox. It's a dual-purpose car, built to accommodate 4 passengers, or to be used as a 2-seater with sedan-like proportions for luggage. With the rear seatback moved forward, there is almost 4½ feet of cargo length. See it at

The Automobile by

John O. Munn

I AM SPEED MADE SUBJECT TO HUMAN WILL. I give mankind dominion over distance. I open the avenues of all the world to humanity. I enlarge the radius of human life. I expand the horizon of human opportunity. I give to man a locomotion as rapid and as subtle as his desire. I give to his body the speed and mobilitv of his ambition.

I promote peace and good fellowship in the human race, for I have bridged the spaces that kept men isolated and ignorant of each other. I hurry the master minds of the world to conference places where the destinies of nations are determined. I snatch the dying from the scythe of Death and outrun him a thousand times a day.

I am the silent partner in all the business houses of the world. I save hours out of man's workday and

give them to him to play with. I make man free for all the far places of venture, recreation and delight.

I am the most capable and constant servant in the homes of men. I bear the sick swiftly and gently out to nature whose touch puts the roses into cheeks fatigue has faded. I take men from their stifling cities of steel and stone out to the murmuring streams and windswept meadows.

I cement the ties of home and kinship with the blessing of frequent reunion and concerted recreation. I give supremacy of locomotion to man whom nature made slower than the beasts. I am individual trans-portation free of all laborious limitations.

I am the Automobile.

Some day, all convertibles will have a roll bar. At last. The basic problem of open ca r sa fety has been solved. With a roll bar fully integrated into the car's total design. Th e wo rld 's f irst producti o n-seri es con-ver tible to have it is now here.

That's the new Porsche Targa, the co mpetition -b red car named for the Targa Flo ri o (th e punishing Sicilian mountain road race that 's become one o f Porsche's most success fu l proving grounds).

Like most Porsche innovation s, th e Targa's di stin ctive roll bar is a rac ing idea. That 's why it 's as logical and functional as

a sa fety pin. It makes the Targa secure as a coupe, with race- track protection for eve ryday driving. The stainless-stee l-cov-ered roll bar also separates top and back, so they can be used independent ly as well as together:

Top and windows down: Fully open to sky and breeze.

Windows up: Airflow stays out. A woman's hairdo is safe at any speed.

Top up and rea r window down: Cool enjoyment of open-air, daytime driving.

Top and windows up: Closed-car com-

Social Drinker - Menace

The self-confident social drinker is a greater men-ace behind the wheel of a car than the habitual drunk.

The "drunk" driver often enjoys a kind of built-in protection when he drives his car weavingly down the stree t. It is generally not too difficult for other drivers and pedestrians to note his condition and avoid him. But, of course, not in all cases.

Much more dangerous is the driver who returns from a party or other social engagement with two or three drinks under his belt . He has just enough alcohol in his system to release inhibitions often giving him the necessary daring to take chances in traffic. At the same time he acquires an exaggerated opinion of his driving ability, he generally lacks the necessary phys-ical and psychological qualifications to be behind the wheel. This, needless to say, is an explosive combina-tion.

More than 20 per cent of drivers killed in traffic accidents have been drinking. A study by the Associa-tion of Casualty and Surety Companies showed that drinking drivers were involved in 130,143 accidents of all types during one recent year.

Individual reaction to alcohol varies to such a

degree that it is impossible to predict its affect on driving ability in general. While one driver may be able to consume five drinks and retain most (but not all) of his physical faculties, another motorist will be almost incapable of shifting gears smoothly after only two.

The following suggestions on drinking are made to motorists:

( 1 ) Do not try to judge your own capacity for alcohol. While you may think you are a much better driver after a drink or two, you are not.

( 2) If you have been drinking, no matter how much or little, let someone else do the driving. or use public transportation.

The average motor vehicle today lasts 4.5 years longer than in 1925, when 6.5 years was the typical age of vehicles when scrapped. Today, the usual age of cars headed for the junk heap is 11 years or more. Accumulated mileage during a motor vehicle's lifetime has quadrupled-from 25,750 in 1925 to over 100,000 today.

Hinged Window Design Extends Applications

of Tempered Auto Glass

A unique folding window, developed by Corning Glass Works, allows lightweight chemically strength-ened glass to be used as the backlight in any current model convertible auto .

The new window system, which uses a flexible hinge of silicone rubber, allows the backlight to fold to fit the window well as the top is lowered. The devel-opment permits glass to be used in convertibles in which design or styling limitations preclude installa-tion of a single piece of glass.

The first application of the hinged window was on the 1967 Ford Mustang convertible.

Ford first used chemically strengthened glass in its 1964 Ford Galaxie and Mercury convertibles-the first usc of tempered glass in convertible backlights. r n 1966 models, Ford used glass backlights in all con-vertibles except Mustang , where a single piece of glass was not practical.

Corning's chemically strengthened glass is the thinnest, strongest automobile glass available, the com-pany said. It is offered as an option on all 1968 Mustang convertibles.

The glass is only 0.085-inch thick (almost one-third thinner and lighter than Vs -inch-thick automobile glass), yet is five times stronger than standard annealed sheet glass.

Because it is glass, the new window will not scratch or discolor, and thus offers improved visibility and safety. If an extreme impact should break the glass, it "dices" in small, harmless particles.

The Mustang window is about 14 inches high and 42 inches wide, with the flexible hinge running hori-zontally across the center of the window. The hinge is a translucent Dow-Corning Silastic rubber which is thermally bonded to the glass by a process developed by Corning.

Corning is working with all American auto manu-facturers to develop specialized glass for automobile application, and also supplies a line of replacement backlights for most convertibles made since 1960.

Further information about automotive applica-tions of chemically strengthened glass is available from Corning's Transportation Products Department, Corn-ing, N.Y. 14830.
