had struck them. So enclosed bo
dies became standard for passeng

won.

self-starter in 1911—and the ladies
who would never dream of doing
anything so indelicate as cranking
an engine became charter members
of woman driver’s fraternity.
Not until recently, though, did
the industry go all out in introduc
ing new designs aimed at increas
ing the beauty, safety and ease
of handling which women demanif
in today’s car.
Just take a look at the ’58 mod
els, for example. There’s scarcely
a manufacturer who doesn’t offer
automatic shift, power steering and
brakes, finger-tip controls for a
variety of operations, and interior
decorating that would please the
most meticulous homemaker.
There are colors men never
heard of—like “coral,” “orchid,”
“flame,” ‘“cerise,” “flamingo,” and
“decorator tones” in body finishes
which send men either on the wag
on or to an eye doctor.
One builder even offers his deal
ers feminine apparel to peddle
along with matching automobiles!
Several companies have lowered
steering wheels, and have made

It may be the ladies are simply
practicing the old business of
twisting the poor male around her

there’s this to say: -Despite her
frivilous approach to car design
the women have adapted to the au
