Simplicity and good tasle are he keynotes of Ihe sweeping treamlined slyling of the new In- ernational motor trucks, officials the local International Harves- er company branch poinl out. Elements of the new and dis- inctive styling include long, par- illel louvres sweeping in almost ontinuous lines around hood, ides and grille, accentuated by a leautiful, well-spaced trim.

There Ihe attractively rounded grille vhich contributes to the sturdy, all-truck appearance, which has ilways been a distinctive Interna- ional asset; fenders with grace- ully curving skirts and creased Towns; also a sloping v-lype, one- windshield which gives good 'isibilily and adds to attractive appearance. Hardware, inside and oul, and the well-designed instrument panel are pleasing to Ihe eye. Standard bodies have been designed lo harmonize with Ihe lines of Ihe hood, fenders and grille. Sides of the bodies are skirted lo the level ot the short running boards. Rear fenders, too, are ot attractive, rounded and skirted type.

In the light-duty panel bodies, pressed-in moldings take the place of what might have been visible seams. The result is a smooth, decorative surface. one- piece stampings lake the place of what might have been many pieces welded together. The exercise of great care in designing has in that wny provided definite attractiveness together with more rigid construction; which is so conducive lo long life and quiet operation.
