Roswell Daily Record notes Oldsmobile's Hydra-Matic Drive enhances ease of use with automatic gear shifting and no clutch pedal. The feature, praised for simplifying starting steering and stopping, is expected to boost female driving adoption and appeal to both women and men.
The final day of qualifying for the 33-car start of the 29th Indianapolis 500 saw six drivers considered likely to earn spots, as Ted Horn set a pace of 124.297 mph. Ira Hall narrowly escaped two spins, Mauri Rose was favored in a factory-ballot, and 16 of 27 living members of the 100 mph club attended. A trend toward more women drivers is noted by Oldsmobile's D E Ralston, with rising interest in driver training and feminine appeal in cars.
