Auto engineers map Panama City road survey drive
Four men in two carryalls plan a month-long field survey to Panama City to chart road conditions and auto services along the route. The project is backed by the Automobile Club and uses a four-cylinder water-cooled motor to power the vehicle as part of preparations for spring highway openings. James Toy announces a new Cortina model with a 64 hp engine shown at the Chicago Auto Show. Vauxhall Motors will launch a one liter class compact in the fall, smaller than its current cars. Triumph US sales rise 30 percent in four months, with 5,111 units sold versus 3,952 last year, says Martin J. Tustin.
