Cars Given Many Useful Extras By Gadget-Minded Americans I.
By Edith Allen
North American Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Amer
leans are car-comfort crazy. About
the only convenience they have
not yet adapted to their cars Is
indoor plumbing.
! Emerging dizzy, but undaunted,
from a morass of statistics. Carol
Lane, travel authority, reported
that two-thirds of America’s fam
ilies own about 50 million cars,
for which they spend more than
$2 billion a year in comforting
extras. The average American,
Miss Lane said, plunks down a
minimum of $230. while a known
maximum ixceeding $6,000 has
been reached.
Miss Lane, who is women’s
travel director for the Shell Oil
Co., covers 50.000 miles a year in
vestigating ideas that make fam
iily travel more comfortable and
enjoyable. She pointed out that
the uses we have found for the
car's cigarette lighter is typical
of how Americans transfer home
comforts to their cars.
Cooks Travel, Too.
For instance, pop can plug his
electric razor into the lighter,;
baby can have his bottle warmed,!
and mom can insert an extension1
flashlight to powder her nose by,
while en route.
“Today’s cooks are as much at
home in their cars as they are in
their kitchens,” Miss Lane said.
There are portable two-burner;
stoves that use all liquid fuels,
"six-way” pots, plastic plates, and
stainless-steel knife, spoon and
fork sets that nestle together as
flat as pancakes.
Food can be kept fresh with a
car refrigerator that works on the
battery, or it can be kept hot or
cold by covering it with “pillows”
filled with a chemical that retains
the original temperature.
A 300-pounder can picnic com
fortably on a collapsible metal
seat that wilts away to the size
of a small magazine when stored
in his car trunk. He can dine on
a table that folds like luggage,
and keep a fatherly eye on his
precious heir, who is safe and con
tent in an inflatable crib. The
same crib has straps to keep the
wee one from rolling off when
the car* is in motion.
“Press-on” Patches.
The convenience of a washing
machine is matched on the road
with pint-sized laundry equip
ment, the expert proclaimed.
There are ironing boards that take
little room in a week-end case,
and washboards that fit on the
palm. There are stretchable
clotheslines of braided rubber
about the Bize of a dog-leash belt
that require no clothespins. A
man-sized wash can be tucked be
tween the strands, and a “pull”
holds them secure.
There are "press-on” patches
for the quick mending of socks,
or junior's breeches. Portable
irons are built into suitcase han
dles. and there are “erasers” guar
anteed to remove 60 different
kinds of spots from a traveler's
clothes.
For those who like to keep ac
counts on their trip, there is a
compact travel notebook, with
space for noting expenses, mileage,
and the high lights of the day
that is in the under-a-dollar class.
For a few dollars more, the statis
tical minded can use the new
meter gadget for the dashboard
which indicates fuel consumption,
keeps a close check on the condi
tion of the engine, and forewarns
you when its\tune-up time, ac
cording Miss Lane.
Pent-Tent on Top.
Changing temperatures need
never worry the modern driver
either, the travel expert pointed
out. For a few sawbucks, he can
-use a seat that prevents seat heat.
It's made of woven plastic strands,
with built-in springs, permitting
the air to circulate under and be
hind the driver.
For six century notes, he can
have the last word in & car air
conditioning system that would
make Death Valley s desert seem
like the Arctic. The newest wrin
kle for winter haters is a heated
steering wheel.
You can literally live on top of
your car with the "Pent-Tent”
recently introduced on the mar
ket, Miss Lane explained. Col
lapsed on top of the car, it adds
only a few inches to the car’s
height. Expanded, it accommodates
three people on regular mat
tresses. >
You can be miles -from the
nearest oasis today, and still have
no personal clean-up problems.
Miss Lane said. The traveling
“personal-repair kit” includes
waterless soaps, unbreakable
bottles for mouthwash, and re
usable plastic towels that are as
soft as a baby’s skin.
For the safety conscious*there!
are mirrors enabling the driver
to see ahead of the car ahead for
worry-free passing; pigskin gloves i
that glow in the dark for hand
signaling; long-burning “torch”
lamps to place on each side of a
disabled ear on dark highways;
and belts with reflectors to warn
oncoming motorists when you’re
fixing a tire after sundow'n.
It’s common today for many
cars to have back-seat radios,
push-button windows, built-in
beds, automatic window w’ashers
and a two-way telephone, the oil
company’s authority proclaimed.
Tomorrow has greater comforts in
store for us.
! Some makes, or experimental
models, already have such items as
a push-button aerial, a built-in
jack for easy tire changing, and
a contraption to enable you to
slide into a parking space side-j
ways. Also, there soon will be a
convertible whose top and win
dows automatically go up at the
first drop of rain.

The Statesman^ the Big Buy
SAYS BILL FRANCE
•
“Take it from me as a
race official and former
driver, there is no stiffer
test than N.A.S.C.A.R.’s
Grand National Circuit stock car races. On
speedways across the nation, the new Nash
Airflyte has been proven a great car. That is
why I chose it for my personal use,” says the
N.A.S.C.A.R. president, Bill France. The Nash
Statesman, biggest car in its class, delivers more
than 25 m.p.g. at average highway speed.
