There Is « more generous use. o'-

attractive copper finish appear'
on the instrument panel, radio

Without change in wheelbase?,
styling experts have increased
the all around impresision of great-
ed size by only slightly increas
ing the overall length and re
balancing the front end design
appearance-wise.
From the front the greater
mass effect is produced by mak
ing the front bumpers four inches
wider: spacing the herdlamps ten
inches farther apart: by redesign
ing the radiator grille and mak
ing it nine inches w'ider: by long
er, horizontal parking lights, and
by broadening the nose of the
hood two inches on the Torpedo
and three inches on the Stream
liner.

Pontiac’s exclhslte oil' cleaner
has been changed apd made still
more effective. It Js claimed that
97 to 99 per cent of all'the dirt
that will p'^s through the conven
tional 30-mesh screen will be re-
moved.
Pontiac engineers have increas
ed the width of front brakes from
1 3-4 inches to 2 Ifiches. Brake
drum diameters remain eleven
Inches. With the shifting of more
braking effort to the front and a
progressively greater overhang of
•sheet metal forward pf the front
wheels thus altering the direction
and prttern of wheel splash, the
engineers have in(#eased the front
brakes from double to triple seal,
ing, the same as Pontiac pioneer
ed on the rear brakes in 1935.
This improvement has been pro
vided in spite of the higher cost
Invcived.

Lengthwi-^e. me .styling is ac-
centu,‘'ted by making the front
fenders 50 per cent longer, sweep
ing them back midwaV into the
doors. Added to this is the hori
zontal. triple-ribbed front fender
reinforcing heads, twice as long
a.s last year, continuing on across
the rear fenders both fore and aft
of the wheel openings.
Although actual overall length
is increased only three inche.?,
this artistic arrangement of mass
es and lines cleverly multiplies
the Increase.

Brown mahogany garnish
•■loulding panels extend along the
inside from windshield to rear
seat cushion. Wide wine-colored
leather kick pads protect doors,
the front of the rear seat cushions
nd the front of the front seat
frame.
Pedals, gearshift lever and
steering column are finished in
Santone brown. Clear Lucite
plastic covers the horn button. A
mahogapv finish ash tray with
nlasiio finger pull is placed in
the eer.ier of the front sect back
on all four door sedans, while
there are dual ash trays in the
arm I'ests of sedan t:oupes and
two-door sediaus.
Seven IVvlv Styles on Torpetlo
T'le two-door sedan coupe,
which set a lecord in the Stream
liner series of 1941 by being the
fir.-t two-door car to outsell a
four-door sedrn. has been added
to the Torpedo line. Another
surprise addition to the Torpedo
lino is tlie new convertible sedan
coupe. Besides these two models
business coupe, sport
coupe, two-door sedan, four-door
1 window sedan and the four-
door 6fWindow .-iedan. These
fourteen models .give Pontiac its
greatest variety of model appeal
in its lowest price class.
A three inch addition brings
the Torpedo overall length up to
204 1-2 inhes. A new feature of
the convertible sedan coupe is the
quarter window which can be
raised or lowered whether or not
the top is up. An advantcge of
thf.se quarter window.s are added
ventilation, and extra vision to the
driver thus making it an added
safety feature. The top is op
erated "oy two electric motors end
can be put up or down whether
or not the engine is running.
Streamliner and Streamliner-
Chieftain models are both avail
able with the record-sales-hreaker
sedan coupe and the four-door 6-
window sedfn bodies. There is
also a Streamliner station wagon
and a Streamliner-Chieftain sta
tion wagon on the 122 inch
wheel'oase chassis. Streamliner
Chieftrln models d. er from the
Streamliner series in a wider sel
ection of richer upholstery fab
rics. a superior type of seat cush
ions, folding center arm rests in
rear seats and the brilliant triple
mouldings on front and rear fen
ders.
FeaLure-s Rftjui:el !Uid Improved
Mechanical features that have
distinguished Pontiac for many
years and that again ere found
in the 1942 models include —
square bore stroke tatio, electro
plated iron alloy pistons, full-
pressure metered-flow lubrication,
rifle-drilled connecting rods,
Scotch mist manifold, exclusive
oil cleaner, tru-«rc steering, seal
ed chassis, Dutlex rear springs
Nc change in rear spring.? was
found necessary to improve the
Ponticc ride, but the engineers
have inserted oil soaked thin
wood strips between the spring
leaves to eliminate the last trac
of a squeak. Metal covers are
retained to keep the spring lubri
cant in place and to keep out
dirt. mud. slush, and water.
Side member.? end "X’,’ mem
ber.? of the Torpedo cabriolet |
chassis frame are now of Jieavier
stock, adding 135 pounds to the
weight of the standard Torpedo
sedan to provide added rigidity
and stability.
Advanced Heat Conditioner
Pontiac engineers hail the im
provements in their underseat
heater design as perhaps the most
important mechanical advance
ment in the ’42 models.
^instead of circulating the air
Burma-copper with hiside the body, 100 per cent
fresh outside air is forced to the
“Mora milk, more eggs, more pork” is the food-for-defense appeal
being made to American farmers by the U. S- Department of Agri
culture. Farmers are responding unitedly, tile Department says, and
are turning huge quantities of feed from the AAA Ever-Normal
Granary into energy-giving foods. Milk production is highest on
record; egg production is higher than in any year except 1930; extra
numbers of brood sows are being held over for fall farrowing. Never
theless, the Department declares, even additional increases in these
products must be made to supply the growing home demand and the
emergency needs of Greet Britain.

A thermostatically operated

temperature Just the same as in

The new heater dLstributes heat

maintaining an air’pressure in the
body slightly above atmospheric
pressure outside, cold outside ali
currents are prevented from en
