One of the latest, at any rate, is on display by the Bondurant Motor company, 1029 Davis street, Evanston. It is a radio-equipped Aub~rn 8-88 Sport Sedan. Right ·on the instrument board is the familiar set of dials and thingamajigs. Just above the windshield in front of the right hand seat is a loud speaker horn. The aerial is built into the top and the power comes from the car's battery. While the auto is buzzing merrily along the concrete the driver can twirl his dials and call from the air a sweet (?) voice or a rattling jazz band, thereby enjoying two of the main pleasures of the 20th century human race at the same time. The radio is a six-tube Heinafone. It can be installed without crowding any of the regular dash features off the board. · Two other special features of the radio Auburn on view are bright red leather upholstery and French side panel mirrors. In order to prepare for the big business expected to materialize in a few weeks now, the Bondurant company moved from 1027 Davis street, where it bad been located for three years, to larger quarters right next door at 1029 Davis about three months ago. Smart tailoring of upholstery in soft pastel shades of imported broadcloth, simplicity in hardware design and en· tirely new body colors· have been used in some of the outstanding custom built cars on the Packard Eight chassis to be exhibited at the automobile show. ·· Chief among these is the new fourpassenger convertible sedan by Diet~ich. This car is destined to be. partJ-:ularly popular because it may be converted into an open phaeton or -chauffeur-driven sedan. It has stand· ard black parts with the body and bon· net of Duco pastel (yellow) and the wheels and striping in Ditzler's permanen! vermillion. It is -upholstered in La 1d I a w broadcloth, which blends beautifully to match the body colm and is equipped with special headlamps manufactured by S t e p h e n Grebel, Paris. The partition above the seat level is not removable an(f forms a kind of tonneau windshield keeping annoying drafts from the passengers on the rear seat. This car will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most striking models at the sh.ow. Other cars on the Packard Eight chassis by America's most famous bod'· builders include an all-weather collapsible town car by Rollston, finished in Duco Safari blue and Valentine's sapphire pegmatic gray and is striped Wilmette Batterv Se....:ce in yellow. lt has a new feature in the ·" · .., · form of a roll belt molding which adds Ia Model of Completeness greatly to the smartness of its lines.
