Detroit, Midi., Jui.c 11.

Daringly Designed "Lark" Latest 'Sport Model of Lexington Motor Co. I Lectures on Care Of Cars Booked To Be Started Monday in Din ing Room of Chamber of Commerce. The above picture of the "Lark" represents the latest achievement of the Lexington Motor company of Conncrsvillc, Ind. According to the distionary, "Lark" means to sport; to ride across counrty; a merry ad venture; and, according to the Noyes-Killy Motor company, this model fulfills to each definition. Critics' who have inspected the "Lark" say it is in a class bv itself. "It is "smart," "chic," "clever," "keen" all these and more. The de sign is daring. Sparkling colors, ex tra wheels on the .running boards, a trunk in the rear, windshield wings and "nifty" cowl lamps, stamp this car as ah . easy "favorite:" Not all the "class" however, is evident from the outside. The "Lark" has underneath its hood one of the Ansted motors which triumphed ovor the entire field, winning first and second in two events at the Pikes Peak hill climb Labor day 1920. Without increasing weight or size, Lexington engineers claim to have made the Ansted engine half again as powerful as other six-cylinder, engines of the same bore and stroke. . One of its many exclusive jni provemcnts is the rocking-chair rocker arm which permits maxi mum valve lift without . noise. This is the way racing cars get their power and the Lexington engineers have succeeded in eliminating the noise which usually accompanies this type of construction. The Ansted engine is equipped with a thermostat which maintains a correct temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. , The Lex ington gasiticr insures perfect va porization of the poorer portions of present day gasoline. The Moore multiple exhaust system properly scavenges the cylinders after every explosion.
