All are finished in brilliant hues, the Hudsons being in light blue and maroon. The bright est of all is' an "Essex touring car painted bright yellow, with nickeled finish. The appointments of this car caused nearly every woman vis-' itor opening day to stop and ad mire it. The spare tir? cover and boot - for the top are watered silk that matches the body color. One of the latest developments in automobile equipment is seen on one of the Coles, shown tn the main. floor at the Auditorium.

According to auto mobile dealers, the sentiment at the Detroit headquarters of the com pany is that Ford cars are too well known to make showing them -4 profitable.

From this vantagt point the main hall and stage are spread out in a brilliant active pan orama. .. ' v The annex at the show, which is entered through a hall at the' right of the main entrance, was voted one of the mbst attractive section at the show. Attractive displays of pleasure cars fill this part of the show. The lighting effect and Japanese decora tions set the cars off to good ad vantage. A ' . One of the demarkable features of the show, according to automo bile men. is the large number oi show chassis, with parts exposed. that are displayed.
