Copper Cooled Car Makes Hit at Automobile Show "The interest evinced in the "cop- per cooled car" at the Chicago Auto- mobile Show makes it plain to the casual observer that in this new model the General Motors company, Chevro- let division, has struck a popular chord in motorists ideals," says Mr. Jacobsen of the Northwestern Motor company at Evanston, dealers in the Chevrolet motor car. "To answer the frequent query, 'does it replace the present line of su- perior model cars?' it must be said, it does not, in as much. as it is an ad- dition, priced $200 higher than the present line. "It is the intention of the North- western Motor company to exhibit this chassis at the formal opening of the main branch now under construc- tion in Evanston. "A word about the car itself! It is the result of many years of experi- mental work, the process of joining copper and gray iron. Samples of this work and a thorough explana- tion of the benefits to be derived as a result of the discovery of this pro- cess, must be seen and heard to be ap- preciated. "Regarding deliveries of this copper cooled Chevrolet model it may bc stated that production quantity will be announced in the near future."
