EASY TO TAKE AUTO ON EUROPEAN TRIP More Americans Using Their Own Cars Abroad Each Year; How It Is Done Thursday, Jan. I, 1931 Tugs signal hoarsely to each other as the giant liner is warped into its narrow berth. at Cherbourg. Steve. dores swarm on the dock to make the vessel fast. And " the gang planks are shoved out aft and as pass- engers set foot on foreign soil, great hatches are opened up in the forward decks and powerful cranes begin de- positing large objects on the pier as easily as though therwere boxes of straw. These large objects are nothing more or less than American motor cars. They have not been shipped over mated as they would be were they shipped to Europe by a manufacturer for foreign sale, for these automobiles are not looking for a foreign market. They are the per- sonal property of American tourists. Just a few moments elapse until the i various necessary formalities have) have been dispensed'with. and then) the machines, with newly filled gas tanks, scatter like so many rabbits‘ for strange and new destinations and sights which would be entirely un-l familiar along American highways. _ Motoring at Low Cost! More and more American tourists each year are taking their machines abroad. It all started when a few, more wise than the rest, decided to dispense with the annoying discom- forts of rail travel in the lesser fre- quented parts of the continent, and discovered that they could see Eur. ope better and cheaper in their very own automobiles. The present travel season will see more cars than ever of American ownership traveling the roads of France, Spain, Italy and Germany, as Well as those of the British Isles. We are irtforrnedHoy reliable authority that the cost of such a "tranrAtlantie motor trip" is surprisingly low. The few necessary arrangements, such as special visas and papers may be made before de- parture. The motorist merely drives his machine to ship-side in New York or Hoboken, where it is stowed away until safely deposited on foreign soil as above described. Sue Money With I Small Car The cost of transportation depends, naturally. upon the size Ind weights of the car. The motorist, equipped with the proper pope” before de.. parture finds little difficulty in driv- ing his car across the many intermr. tionnl boundary lined on. the Euro- pean continent. It seems that most foreign governments are quite jeol- ous of their native motor industries, and French customs omeitos object to Americans driving through France in cars purchased in Belgium or Italy, or vice versa, but this foreign tariff annoyance may’be avoided by the American tourist driving in a car made and purchased in the United States. European roads, in most cases, leave nothing to be desired, although fewer people travel by car abroad than in America. The high. ways are kept up perfectly, princi- polly due, no doubt, to the Net that they must be held always in readi- ness for military purposes in the l, The American tourist who decides 'to see the Rhine cuties, the French 1ii'it'iit?i or the charming cities of Southern France from his own motor "mis he carries back with him the lrecnllection of 1 perfect trip unmet- red by hurried travel connections and language difficulties with railroad of- [ fieials.
