Proof of their enthusiasm was the 20,000 who showed up last Sunday in Brookline, Mass., to preview Parke-Bernet's old-car auction of 65 antique and classic models. For antique collectors, brass is gold, since 1915 is the year when most designers stopped using brass as trim. Thus, when a bright yellow 1913 Mercer Raceabout, model 35-J, with a "monocle" windshield, restored by retired Los Angeles Fireman Harry Johnson, was driven into the auction tent, it rated...
...collection of old autos in Ellenville, N.Y., is already up to 60 cars. To further fill out his collection, Resnick also laid down $37,500 for a sleek, maroon 1966 Duesenberg four-door sedan (body by Ghia), $8,000 for a bright blue 1924 Amilcar three-place sport model CGS 3, and $15,500 for a 1916 Biddie Victoria touring car.

The problem, he decided, was how to model a contemporary career on the standards of the 18th century-when art ists were also entertainers, composers were also performers, and music was written to please people on specific occasions...
...device follows an earlier safety announcement by rival General Motors. G. M. three weeks ago revealed that after two years of "top priority" work by its Fisher Body division, it was installing a guard rail on the doors of more than half of next year's models. The rail, actually an 8-in. section of high-strength sheet metal, will be welded out of sight inside the door. In the event of an impact on the side of the car, the rail will give way gradually but with resilience enough to deflect the oncoming automobile and cut down...
