King Eight Makes Great Go Above Test On Long Run
New York July 15 More than 10 000 miles in two weeks day and night driving without mechanical adjustments or repairs by an eight cylinder King car in a endurance test sanctioned by the American Automobile Association on the Long Island Speedway and highways. The car averaged 34 miles per hour with less than a second variation in many circuits and required only minor topping and no valve or spark plug work. Officials said the King could have continued another 10 000 miles with the same reliability, and newspaper men confirmed the finding. The run demonstrated durability and low maintenance, not a plan to extend life indefinitely. The vehicle was a King touring car with 120 inch wheelbase and Firestone tires, using an eight cylinder V-type engine and standard equipment.
