A swish in time with a spray paint gun is likely
to save some expensive repairs later. By taking
care of minor nicks, scratches and dents as soon
as they become noticeable, a motorist can avoid
premature deterioration of his car's body. All of
which makes the car more valuable at trade-in

shortest possible time.
Don't settle for a 50% job at
a bargain basement price from
a shop that has makeshift fa-
cilities. It'll probably cost you
more in the long run through
costly re-work at a later date.
When the original beauty
has been restored to your car,
don't be misled into believing
it to be permanent. New dam-
age is likely to occur at some
future date and corrosion will
again attempt its ugly deed.
Periodic checks and contin-
uous, proper maintenance are
your only assurance of pro-
longing the original finish life.

This winter, more cars won't start be-
cause of worn spark plugs than old
batteries.Worn spark plugs? You'd bet-
ter believe it! Especially in winter.
The colder it gets, the more your battery's output
drops. So there's less voltage available to start. Worn
spark plugs can easily require twice the voltage of new
plugs. Result—you have a combination that can be too
much for even a brand-new battery.

Will. Have What It
Takes to Do Job
Have you recently taken a
really good look at the finish
on your car? Studies by lead-
ing automotive service maga-
zines found three out of every
four cars are in need of body
repair and/or touch-up work.
When checking your car,
chances are you'll find finish
defects ranging from minor
stone-nicks to more sizeable
scratches, scrapes, or dents.
Close examination may even
produce evidence of more seri-
ous damage with rust appear-
ing in the rocker panels, lower
portion of fenders, or at other
points.
This time of year is an espe-
cially important one to make
needed repairs. For winter
road conditions take a harsh
toll of car bodies,
Costing You Money
Regardless of the origina-
tion or extent of the present
damage, it's costing you money
every day it goes unattended.
Once paint is chipped away
and bare metal is exposed,
corrosive action begins and
will continue to grow until
arrested and eliminated by
repair.
Metal deterioration can also
occur from beneath the car.
This usually goes undetected
until rust appears on the out-
side surface after corroding
the metal behind. (Under-
coating will, in most cases,
prevent the start of this latter
form of corrosion) .
In either case, the longer
the damage is neglected, the
more extensive and time con-
suming the repair becomes,
thus increasing your repair
bill.
Once you're ready for re-
pairs, your next and most im-
portant step is to locate a rep-
utable auto body repair and
refinishing shop — one that
has adequate facilities, mod-
ern equipment, and experi-
enced personnel to do the job.
What Shop Can Do
Such a shop will have ample
parking and work space; mod-
ern metal working tools; qual-
ity spray equipment; spray
booth with proper exhaust for
dust-free paint jobs; force dry
(infrared) equipment for dry-
ing fresh paint in minutes as
opposed to hours with air dry;
factory trained spray opera-
tors.
A shop with these qualifica-
tions can assure you of a first-*
rate, professional job in the

But, time, wear and vibrations
take their toll on seals and
gaskets,
Think of all the parts that
could be leaking: the engine
or the differential, the power
steering, a brake cylinder, even
a shock absorber.
A spot of grease or oil under
your parked car can mean you
soon will have no lubrication
on expensive gears such as in
the rear axle or transmission,
A drip can indicate that raw
gasoline is getting on your en-
gine (right next to 15,000 volts
of electricity). This kind of
thing spreads car fires.
Your car sounds a four-
alarm alert, in its own quiet
way, when the drips are leak-
ing brake fluid. This usually
drips onto the inner surface of
a tire; so you may not see it
unless you happen to climb
underneath your car to look.
But your service station man
can spot it when he has your
car on the lift for service,
which is a good reason, among
others, for getting the car up
on the lift from time to time.
If you see greasy or oily spots
on the floor of your garage, on
your driveway or your wall-
to-wall carpeting, check into
things. Put some newspaper or
large pieces of an old sheet you
were going to tear up for rags
anyway under your car's regu-
lar parking place. See how
much grease or oil accumu-
lates overnight and approxi-
mately where the leak seems
to be coming from.
Next day, take your car and
the evidence to your service
man and ask him to fix things
up. This can save your car,
your money and even a life.
A PENNY FOR YOUR SAFETY
A tip to car owners — invest
a Lincoln penny in your fam-
ily's future. Why a Lincoln
head penny? Insert a penny
head first into the tread-
grooves of each tire. If the
head of "Honest Abe" can be
seen, the tire has worn to a
dangerous point and should be
replaced.
BELTS SAVE LIVES
Seat belts do save lives.
Studies of actual auto crashes
by investigators at Cornell
University prove it. The Na-
tional Safety Council estimates
that at least 8,000 to 10,000
lives a year would be saved if
every motorist used a seat belt
every time he got into a car.
WINTER HAZARDS GREATER
Roads present more hazards
to tires during winter months
than during warm-weather
months. Foreign objects such
as nails and glass are retained
in the buildup of ice and snow.
For this reason, check winter
tires carefully and frequently
for cuts or breaks. And ,be sure
you have a spare tire in your
car's trunk.
WHEN PASSING
When passing another car,
remember that it is moving
too. Don't cut back in front of
it until you can see its head-
lights in your rear-view mirror.
Five Point
Plan
to Thwart
Car Thieve.s
Every 45 seconds an automo-
bile is stolen somewhere in the
United States.
According to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation fig-
ures, 700,000 automobiles are
stolen in this country annual-
ly, making car theft the great-
est national crime against per-
sonal property. It is a crime,
statistics show, which has in-
creased 101 per cent since 1960.
Safety authorities suggest
motorists take certain precau-
tions to reduce auto theft risk.
They advise drivers to:
(1) Lock your car doors
and ignition every time you
park. Professional thieves are
adept at breaking into locked
cars, but locked ignition and
doors do deter "joy riders"
looking for a car they can
jump into and drive off. Also,
lock doors when parking in
front of your home or in your
driveway. More than half of
car thefts take place in resi-
dential areas.
(2) If possible, park in a
well-trafficked, lighted area.
(3) In pay lots, take keys
with you, if permitted.
(4) Remember not to leave
packages or clothing in plain
view in your parked car. Police
say many thieves, bent first on
car pilfering, also dechW to
steal the automobile.
(5) Don't keep registrations
or other vital documents in the
glove box.
The motorist unfortunate
enough to have had his car
stolen has a good chance of
getting it back. FBI records
show that nationally 86 per
cent of stolen cars are recov-
ered.
A sobering statistic, how-
ever, is this fact: On the aver-
age, a recovered stolen car suf-
fered damage of $200 and in
many instances cars were to
badly damaged or "stripped"
they had to be sold as junk.
