Additions to the Automobile Salon opening Dec. 3 in the Hotel Commodore are the Italian Fiat and the French Panhard, bringing the number of different makes for exhibition to twenty-seven.

Addresses will be made by David Beecroft, George H. Pride and David C. Fenner of this city at the meeting of the National Highway Traffic Association in Grand Rapids, Mich., next Tuesday, Nov. 21.

An interesting exhibition is on view in the window of the Dort salesroom, 1,872 Broadway, near Sixty-first Street. One of the new six-cylinder chassis has the engine running under its own power showing the action of the overhead valves and the oiling system. In addition an extra valve has been placed small end down on the radiator to illustrate the freedom from vibration.

A new brougham model has been brought out by the Westcott Motor Car Company. A distinctive contour has been achieved by combining a low hung body with long hood lines, balanced by a touring trunk and two spare tires, carried in the rear.

I. J. Reuter, general manager of the Remy Electric Company, manufacturers of starting, lighting and ignition systems, announces that the company by the end of this year will have broken all previous production records, with an output of nearly a half million sets. A schedule of 1,500 generators and 1,500 starting motors per day has been set for November and December.

New prices were recently announced on the King cars. The touring model has been reduced to $1,495, a cut of $300.

The new Peerless two-passenger roadster coupé had just made its appearance. Standard equipment includes an electric rear signal, cowl ventilator, engine driven tire pump, tools, motometer and inspection lamp with extension cord.

Many motorists will learn with regret of the recent death of Harry U. Kibbe, one of the pioneers on New York's Automobile Row. For eight years he was associated with the sales department of the Detroit Motor Car Corporation at Broadway and Sixty-second Street.

One of the most popular Wills-Sainte Claire models is the five-passenger brougham. On the rear is a trunk platform with several vertical nickel bars on the rear body panel. The divided front seat consists of two deeply upholstered chairs, each folding forward.

Forty per cent. of the present production of the Willys Overland Company consists of closed car models.
