The time has come when new models brought out from year to year will be the exception rather than the rule. A buyer purchasing a car for the first time will find it hard to criticize points in the design of the elements that go to make up the modern automobile, and a maker bringing out a new model with radical changes from the usual design will find it hard work selling such a car against the tried and conventional design that has stood up for years. The car of the present and future is, in my opinion, a car 2,000 pounds in weight, at a price of about $2,000, driven by a thirty horse power engine, and which is balanced so as to be light on tires. A legitimate four-cylinder car can hardly be built for less. The runbaout will be popular, because its entertaining expense is less than a touring car. I mean by that that the man owning a touring car feels that he is wasting something unless he has his tonneau full of people. That is why so many enthusiasts, especially those buying their second car, are buying runabouts.
