COLOUR COMBINATIONS

The importance of colour cmbinations of automobiles for 1930 is receiving much attention by car mauf aeturers who axe strivng to give buyers a fairly wide choice. The more standardised the article the more necessary it is to make it apparently indivdual; and this a particularly true of very personal property such as cars are. Colour has a strong attraction for the eye and two cars of the same model, one of which is painted violet and the other creamy give nontrade people the impression of being less alike than do two different makes of cars of the same colour, if their bodies are not entirely dissimilar. Notwithstand ing the advance in common knowledge of makes of motor vehicles, a query as to the kind of car owned by so-and-so is often answered by the statement that it is a 'brown one" or whatever its colour may be. The days are gone when the mass producer could say with Mr Ford that buyers were welcome to have any they chose, so long as it was black. This* of course has now all been changed.
