Ohio motorists will save thousands due to war tax repeal on new cars and federal highway funding for 1930 and 1931. H N Burgett of the Southeast Ohio motor club cites a $66 million annual tax cut, with purchasers saving 25 to 150 dollars.

Auto expert cites flaws in modern car bodies
Kreusser of GM Proving Grounds told the Detroit Section Society of Automotive Engineers that body dimensions vary widely with limited relation to wheelbase. He cites seat widths from 36. to 45. inches and headroom from 33.3 to 37.4 inches. Vision is hindered by pillar design narrowing horizontal view while vertical visibility worsens, sometimes yielding negative angles.
