Sign. Based on interviews with 4,532 teen girls from coast-to-coast, the comprehensive study, covering all areas of teen activity ranging from cooking to cars, surveys teenage car ownership, driving and influence on family car purchases. While 31.0 per cent of all teen girls drive, the survey is broken down to show the percentages of girls in the 13-15, 16-17 and 18-19 age groups who drive. Fifty per cent of the 18-19-year-olds drive, and as expected, the percentage is lower with 13-15-year-olds, ol which 11.2 per cent drive. The majority of teen drivers (45.7 per cent) use the family car, but 20.5 per cent rely on a friend for car-borrowing and 11.5 per cent use a brother's or sister's car.

Almost half the teen drivers name friends and parents as the major sources for instructions; 17.6 per cent attended a special driving school; and 13.9 per cent learned how to drive at classes in their high schools. And AUTOMOTIVE SALES CO. 144 S. 2nd Avt. AL4-t202 American Motors has been seek ing ways to prolong the life of a ear, Now its engineers have at tacked automotive deterioration at its most vulnerable muffler.

SURVEYS show muffler life on cars has been reduced by-a least 50 per cent in the last 1' years. One oil company a survey of its outlets showed the average steel muffler offered as standard equipment on most can today can be expected to last six to II months. The aluminized steel muffler offered as standard equipment on Ford cars lengthened anticipated longevity to 10 to 14 months while some premium-cost mufflers offered by independent companies gave anywhere fron one- and-a-half to three years of muffler life. E. W.

Bernitt, American Motors vice president, said the new muffler on his company's 1961 models will give up to 90,000 miles of service on an average car. Based on the national average of 10,000 miles a year, this would mean the muffler on a 1961 Rambler could be expected to last up to nine years. The average life of mufflers has been sharply reduced in recent years by higher compression ratios in modern engines, higher octane fuels, dual mufflers, more stop-and-start driving and more low-slung designs which make it necessary to cram mufflers into smaller units to fit underneath the car. CONTRARY to popular opinion, a hot muffler is less subject to corrosion than a cool one. When a muffler is hot, it evaporates moisture containing corrosive ma terials.

But the moisture collects in a muffler when, it is cool. This is why the coolest of the mufflers in a dual exhaust system burns out first. Automobile manufacturers have long known ways to make mufflers last longer. But they all involved costs which the manufacturers felt the public would be unwilling to pay. Gradually, however, It has be.

Mbst of the Wtffipanies expected to resist giving American Motors the satisfaction of following it into muffler field, But Ford already has an aluminized muffler which offers longer life than iormal mufflers and at least three other companies are conducting experiments with other types of aluminum mufflers in an attempt to solve the knotty fmtolemv Reynolds Metals has announced development of an all aluminum muffler which will last the life of a car.

Every available fact about the city will be fed into the computer in the first and most extensive analysis of its kind ever Ford announced previously that, for a period of one week, it plans to replace every motor vehicle in Flora with a new model Ford car or truck. The southern Illinois city has a population of about 6,000 and a car-truck population of approximately 1,600. The purpose of the Flora experiment is to study the reaction of a typical S.

community to the company's 1961 products before they go on sale publicly. The nation's Adio and TV reporters will be invited to Flora to witness the unique introduction. An initial survey in which every car and truck owner in Flora was interviewed has already been conducted in the community. A second survey will be conducted immediately after the citizens have had the opportunity to test- Irive the vehicles. A third set of statistics will be obtained from he results of the U.
