In the following four years the annual deficits ran consistently above three billions, then hit a peak of $4,700.000,000 in fiscal 1936 (year of the Soldiers' Bonus), dropped to $2,707,000,000 in fiscal 1937.

The new de luxe model looks like the 1938 Lincoln Zephyr (see below), has a hood that curves down over the grille in a pronounced "widow's peak." The new standard is more like the 1937 type, but has greater flow in lines. Both cars have the same chassis. The de luxe comes in eight body types, the standard in three...
