WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1919 Stephens Car Bodies Of Finest Materials ' "In constructing Stephens bodies. says the manager of the General Motors company, "we have taken ac- 'count of the fact that a well finished body adds greatly to the pleasure of ownership as well as value of the car. Stephens bodies are designed and built complete in the Stephens factory and are constructed in evary way exactly like the best grade of custom-built bodies which command. very high prices. Quality is always the keynote in Stephens construc- tion. Beneath the metal body is a rigid hardwood frame, every joint of which is screwed and glued and where strains occur the frame is re- inforced by drop forge body.irons. Because of this strong construc- tion Stephens bodies are free from squeaks and rattles. The body finish is beautiful and lasting as the paint is all applied by hand. First the body is sand blasted to remove all foreign substances and then coat after coat of paint is applied and rubbed by hand until a lasting mirror-like surface results. A "The top and curtains of Stephens cars are individually fitted to each body. The top is made to carry the curtains in neat pockets attached to the bows, so that the curtains are ready instantly to button into place. Door opening curtain attachments are fitted to each door. The top is so constructed that it is easily folded into small space when down and with little or no change of damage to goods."
