| The Motor 340 September 22, 1920. SOME LUXURIOUS EXAMPLES of BODY DESIGN. The Increasing Popularity of the Enclosed Drive. :: this handsome car further shows the all-round general excellence in design. The increasingly popular V-type windscreen is used to good effect. Manufacturers of powerful touring cars, designed to carry heavy coachwork, are in growing favour of the six-cylinder engine. All the cars illustrated herewith have engines of this type which, it is scarcely open to doubt, will be adopted more frequently as car development progresses. ABOVE: A handsome saloon body on a 24 h.p. six-cylinder Delage chassis. The spare wheel is carried on the right-hand running board, but has been left off in order to show the elegance of the general design. The London and Parisian Motor Co., Ltd., of 87, Davies Street, London, are sole concessionnaires for the Delage. To the right is shown a luxurious example of coachwork by Messrs. Park, Ward and Co., of High Road, Willesden, mounted on a six-cylinder Armstrong-Siddeley chassis. A great many of these imposing-looking cars are to be seen on the road at the present time. The 30 h.p six-cylinder Daimler shown above is now en route for India, to the order of the Bombay Motor Car Co. The coach-work is the product of Messrs. Fairey and Charles, and is yet another example of the attractive type of body generally seen fitted to Daimler chassis. LY-4506 A striking Anglo-American combination. The chassis, a six-cylinder Buick, with coachwork the design and manufacture of William, Osborne and Co., Ltd., of 138, Long Acre, London. A front view of B32 | ||
