Taylor 818-A Elm St., Winnetka 209 netka with ees Eight-Cylinder Car Dominating Motor Field To substantiate further his recent expression regarding the tremendous inroads that the eight-cylinder princi- ple is making among motor cars in the class of $1,500 and up, Dubois Young, president of the Hupp Motor Car Cor- poration, points to the increased num- ber of eight cylinder cars exhibited at the 1927 automobile shows. He also quotes figures to show how the number of four cylinder cars is steadily decreas- ing before the advance of the light six, and that the majority of six cylinder manufacturers are concentrating on the price field below $1,500. "The three groups to which I pointed some time ago are sharply out- lined in a fairly close census of the 1927 models. It is seen that the four is supreme up to $900, the six from that point to $1,500, and that the eight practically dominates everything above the $1,500 level," says Mr. Young. The Hansen Motor company is the Hupmobile dealer in Winnetka.
