Mew 1949 Plymouths On Display
Today At Reynolds Motors Heie
The new line of Plymouth auto
mobiles, with, outstanding mechani
cal improvements and up-to-the
minute styling, make their appear
ance in dealer showrooms here and
throughout the United States, Fri
day, Warren Reynolds, owner of
Reynolds Motors, announced yester
day. Reynolds Motors is the local
Plymouth dealer. '
Completely redesigned and stream
lined, the new Plymouth contains
a 97- horse power engine which is
smoother, livelier, and more econo
mical. Other changes make contri
butions to beauty, safety, and pas
senger comfort.
Wheelbase has been increased for
a better ride and more road stabili
ty but at the same tlmethe over-all
Sengith has been reduced for ease of
handling. Although lower and nar
rower, the new bodies provide great
er interior room for passengers. The
car's appearance reflects a complete
change from last year's models.
Designers have tried a "common
sense" streamlining. Fenders blend
into body lines are nevertheless sep
arate and detachable, thus avoiding
sheet metal masses which are costly
to repair or replace.
Increased visibility is provided in
the windshield, 37 percent larger
and the rear window, 35.4 percent
larger. Windshield wipers clear (>1.5
percent greater area.
Sedan seats are wider and deeper,
both in front and rear. The width
of both cushions has been increased
with partels and arm rests so loca
ted as to take maximum advantage
of the interior space. Rear seat room
in the club coupe has been increased
to the equivalent of the sedan. .
There is more head and leg room in 1
the sedan rear sea*.
The new Plymouth line includes s
njne distinct automobiles. There
are four special deluxe and two
deluxe types on a 118 inch wheel
base, one inch longer than last ;
year's. In addition, Plymouth Willi
build three deluxe models on a 1
brand new 111-inch wheelbai*. This*
wheel base group consists of a two- .
door sedan, a three p*u->?nger coupe, j
and a new body tvpe, the Suburban, j
Available on the 118-inch wheel
base will be a club coupe and a
four-door sedan in the deluxe series
while the special deluxe group wijl
include both the club coupe and
four-door sedan in addition. to the
convertible club coupe and the sta
tion wagon.

ning in increasing numbers that
winter grazing is the most economi
