"Car Of The Future" Displayed Tomorrow A radically now Chrysler convertible coupe known a? Thunderbolt, w?hlch ts creating a sensation wherever ihown, will be on display Saturday, January 18, at the Stogner Motor Company showroom, where It may be seen from 9 a. m. until 1 p. to. Local motorlssi wjll be interested In seeing this latest and most sensational of advanced aerodynamic design. In this car, Chrysler Corporation tmfineors see a forecast of the future motor car and a now mllepost in the history of aerodynamics and 4'fashiou-| ed-by-funotlon" design. The design1 Is the result of a collaboration! between Ralph Roberts and Chrysler! engineers. Mr. Roberts' work has ln-j fluenced motor car design for 20 years all over the world. In tho Thunderbolt, it Is pointed out by Chrysler engineers, efficiency and beauty go hand in hand. -The fullwidth, sleek-aided body Is a radical departure In pleasure car design. The low, broad hood cuts down frontal resistance and the smooth-swept surfaces of front and rear, the flush glass and curved, aloplug one-piece windshield and the absence of running boards reduce turbulence when tho car Is in motion. Chrome is used only to give emphasis to functional lines and there Is an entire absence of "gimcracks" and gingerbread work. There is u notable lack of bulges, ribs, corrugations and other devices that have no part In functional design. Broadness of beam In this car means great interior roominess. A unique feature of the Thunderbolt is that It has a steel top wnich completely disappears at the touch of a button. This a radical advance in design since tho owner has the choice of riding In an open or closed car and at the same time be provided with all of the safety of steel top construction. A single button controls the raising and lowering of the top. Automatic push buttons also control the raising and lowering of the window glasses on the Thunderbolt. Headlamps on the Thunderbolt have retractable lids and a perfectly fixed mounting. The lamp unit is the regular Sealed Ream unit but the lamps are mounted In the front fenders In a thoroughly streamlined fashion. Further streamlining is ovidonced by the fact that every accessory on the Thunderbolt body is in-built. License plates are mounted under glass and doors open at a touch of a button. The design of tho Thunderbolt Instrument panel is thoroughly in keeping with the custom body appearance of the rest .of the car. The instrument board is leather covered while against this leather background are set round etched dials of lubito. These dials are "edge lit", that is to say, lighted Indirectly. Mr. Roberts, who styled the Thunderbolt, derived the idea and feeling oMhis instrumentation from tho most beautiful instrument design he had ever seen at a Paris Salon before the war.
