Abstract

You, Too, Can Drive a Juke Box

This article focuses on the National Automobile Show in New York--the first since 1940. It's a fine show. A very noisy floor show goes on six times a day, loaded with several dozen dancers and singers. But these girls are not as elegant as those scattered around or inside the exhibits. These latter dolls are much too good for the common people unless of course one buys the car on display. The men customers kept speaking to them hopefully and the smiles froze on the exquisite Gothic faces. As for the increased car lengths, city parking is already a nightmare and the nation's road system already congested, even though the road surface is 40,000 square miles, equivalent to five New England states. The new cars will clog the streets with luxurious, empty luggage compartments.
