.' By adapting to the eight-cylinder
car, principles of ' design and con
struction developed to give the
aeroplane, a higher state of automo
tive efficiency, the Cole Motor Car
company has made for itself a new
and distinctive niche in the industry.
1 This advanced y style of engineer
ing,' as found in the Cole Aero
Eight, is known as aero-type con
struction, j 1
When - the ' Cole Aerb-Eight was
fifst introduced 18 months ago its
builders made no positive claims for
it. Confident of its merit them
selves, they elected to wait until it
had proved itself.
Now, after a ,year in which die
Cole AerO-Eights, in the hands of
owners, have undergone every con
ceivable test, the judgment of Cole's
engineers has ' been established.

ment of the aircraft caribe adapted
to ' the automobile, but that the
principles thus adapted have en
abled them tp attain a new height
of perfection in motor cars.
' In building the Cole Aero-Eight,
Cole engineers have adopted aero
type principles jn'the- designs and
construction of motor, chassis and
body. ' t
The motor is remarkable for its
simplicity and accessibility. It de
velops 80 horsepower, andNiscapa
bfc of greater sbeed than ven ex
treme .Hriviriar demands. S
The frame and body are fashioned
after the aircraft. . The various
parts of the frame and body ' co
ordinate to form a perfect balance.
The motor is so suspended and the
body is so mounted as to maintain
that balance' thrughout ''the car.
This has been accomplished by ex
haustive studv. close measurements,
careful planning and exacting tests. J

variety, but will be one of
the. Grand Prix Peugots. The car

A. A. championship and also to the
one that Jules Goux, the Frenchman
who won the 1913 event, will drive
on Slay 31. It has turned some of
the fastest miles in the history of
speedwayracing in America.
Lieutenant Klein's entry is' made
by Frank PV Book, the Detroit mil
lionaire who backed Ralph DePalma
in his campaign in 1916.
When the armistice was signed
and Indianapolis announced that it
would revive its-famous raceSi Bbk

Y' "To demonstrate conclusively the
endurance gained through tpis prin
ciple, which eliminated destructive
vibration, the Hudson Super-Six was
submitted to every possible test and
in a few months captured more rec
ords than have ever been held by
any other car.
"It was a Hudson Super-Six that
covered 1819 miles in 24 hours and
that made a mile at Daytana in 35.11
seconds or at.the rate of 102.53 miles
per hour.
"It was a Hudson Super-Six that
conquered Pike's Peak in 18 minutes,
24 seconds a record that still
stands. It was also a Hudson Super-Six
seven-passenger touting car
that made the trip from San Fran-;
cisco to New York and return in 10
days and 21 hours, another record
that has never been approached.
"In the speedway ' contests, the
Hudson Super -Sixes -entered were
practically stock cars in every re
ers to prove endurance rather, tht.i
mere speed. . But, despite .this han
dicap, they conquered the finest rac
ing machineS-the world has ever
seen, setting new records for both
consistency and endurance." '

America's thrift car, ffie Overland
models 90, hts just established - a
world's record for a non-stop run
with the gears sealed in high. The
car was driven over the , roads
around Oklahoma, City, Okl, for
seven days. In the 168 hours of con
tmuous running, the car covered1 plug replaced. There were but three
4,370.1 miles. That exceeds the next
best record which had stood since
1916 by nearly 200 iilesv
The remarkable feature of the run
was that in making this distance
equal to a tripJrom New York to
Los Angeles and bacle-to Oklahoma
without change of gear or engjne
stop, .the Overland drivers aver'aged
624.3v miles a day. JThe gasoline used
averaged 20.66 miles for each gal
16n. ; It was gasoline of 59 test. The
previous American Automobile as
sociation record for a 24-hour non
stop run was 587 miles.
' The run was held by Dick Carhart
of the Carhart Motor aompany of
Oklahoma City, Overland and Wil-
lys-Knghf dealers. The car was
run ondirt roads more than half
the time and the rest of the run was
on rough bouldePstretches and the
poor pavements of the suburbs of
that Oklahoma city. The carbure-
tor.was never adjusted; norva spark
punctures.
During the seven .days of contin
iious driving, the Overland encoun
tered two days of hard driving rain
and from 12 to 15 hours of each 24
were spent in the traffic of the city.
Four drivers were used, working in
four shifts.
The trip started when' the auto
mobile, officially sealed and inspect
ed, rolled forward from the desk of
the Le Huckins hotel, through, the
door and down the steps into the
street. The car finished its remark
