The hew muffler' makes the .Met z . absolutely si)ent. . It is placed at the rear of the chassis. Charles H. Metz, "president of the ' Company and designer of tfie Metz . car, .has been- working on this model for a full year, and built it as a ma-x chine for his own use. In fact that is how, he esignS all his cars he bkiilds ' a car to satisfy himself,- uses the'best Of material in its , contsruction, and then the factory- turns them out In , quantities as standard . The ! act that he constructs them for himself, first; I sprobably the reason why Metz cars ' have proven so able and efficient. A Everything on the car, excepting the tires, ( which . aro Goodrich ,and the -starting nnd lighting system which is Gray & Davis, is made at the Metz factory,. The mqtor Is of 23 . horse power, cast-en-bloc and made under the yatchful eyes of Mr. Metz himself. . for he has his office and experimental -laboratory in-; the asme' building with . the motor department , Every motor is; tested five times, before it Is at-f t ached to the 'frame, and then several road tests are given.. lJ. The motor transmits, an even flow ; of power through the ' famous " Metz ' " Gearless transmissioh, that eliminates troublesome and r noisy . gears, with their, jars and clashes, and in its place substitute an " t even, sileht fldwlng ' power that t takes :-Hp read Jar and shocks and makes riding seem like i ' flbating in space . In '', fact' the new Metz operats so smoothly yet power- fully, that it is more, like an aeroplane. The springa are full ellipitical. front and rear, with extra shock absorbers. This with the luxuriousness of the up holstery and the f. fact that the Metz has a low. center of gravity, coupled with gearless" drive property, makes the car the easiest riding niachine manufactured : Both models are "108" wheel base. A one-man-top of special designs gives 'that smart appearance that; goes, with-quality. . :"4;':-I- The great- demand for. -Metz- cars this season has amply demonstrated. t the fact that the gearless friction drive has proven Its superiority to the motoring public. It seems that motor; j. car efficiency is better understood by the -public; andStfemanded. in addition to beauty. The Metz h"S alwsvs main tained a 22 mile . a gallon reputation 4 , By combining-1 a smart. body with tne economical transmission, as has been done in the 1917 model, the 'Met is certain to prove the most popular ma chine in its field.
