Motor Exhibition

New Models Displayed "THE exhibition staged by General Motors of New Zealand, Ltd., is a comprehensive one. Its attractions were added to on the opening night by a parade of mannequins, and music was nightly dispensed from the stand of a local music house. The motor caravan is a centre of general interest. It is luxuriously fitted to comfortably accommodate five people, with folding tables, sofas, convertible into bunks, upholstered in moquette. A tank ensures an adequate water supply; there is a cooking stove, lighting facilities, and a wash basin for toilet purposes, enclosed in a neat eabinet-in fact, all the requirements of a complete home. Quaint stainedglass casement windows enhance the appearance. Impressive as is the gold sedan car, upholstered in velvet to match, it lacks withal the dignity of the state coaches of other days. That in which their Majesties the King and Queen ride to open Parliament and use for -other state functions, for instance, is also gold, but the plate-glass of which so much of it consists lends to it the qualities of a Fairy Tale coach. An air of romance clings to it, which no car, however regal-looking, has yet attained. .
