One of the features of the Automobile Salon opening next Sunday evening, Dec. 3, in the Hotel Commodore, will be several cars designed and built for special uses.
The most common special car type is that designed for city driving and of which the town car type is an example. The salon will disclose not only two new types designed for this purpose but many changes and innovations in existing types. In some cases it is merely a matter of body design, while in others the chassis is specially built for a specific use. An example of the latter will be found in a new car of French design and American manufacture. Known as the Voiture de Ville, it is intended to meet the special requirements of present city traffic conditions.
The powerful touring car and the smaller sport models are designed especially for long trips in one case and short trips or suburban driving in the other. They will be found in both open and closed body types. In this class the foreign cars to be exhibited represent seven European nations. Fourteen makes of high priced American cars will be shown.
