...throughout the world (but few in the U.S.), Uffa has no trouble keeping up his credit at the pubs of Gowes. When the weather prohibits sailing, he rides Frantic, his mare, around the Isle of Wight. Last year he fell off, broke an ankle. He promptly ordered up a sedan chair and set out daily to tour the pubs like a Roman emperor, borne by two sturdy porters and accompanied by an umbrella-toting neighbor. Uffa's friends and professional competitors tend to agree with one Cowes oldtimer: "Uffa's a fine chap-a genius, none better...
...Like Gangsters." At first, the U.S. Secret Service seemed determined to help the Russians' case. Unlike the waving Russians, Ike traveled in a closed car-to save trouble, he had ordered over from Paris the 1942 Cadillac sedan he used during the war, now inherited by SHAPE Commander Al Gruenther. Swiss civilians who happened to have their hands in their pockets when the President passed were startled to have husky U.S. Secret Service men grab them and pull their hands clear. At the Palais des Nations, Britain's Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden drew up quietly...
...undersized 1939 Ford) and the ZIM (which looks like an elderly Buick). The Volga is also the first to offer such Western frivolities as the automatic shift, one-piece windshield and built-in lubrication system* operated by pushing a pedal. A four-cylinder , 75-h.p., five-passenger sedan, the Volga's design is almost a direct crib of Raymond Loewy's 1954 Studebaker but its price-about $5,000-comes from the upper end of the Cadillac price list. "Trial tests," said Radio Moscow's salesman, "have proved very successful." But the Volga lacks one important feature...
...Flint or Fresno who dreams of some day loading the wife and kids in the family sedan and steering a few weeks later across the big swinging bridge over the Panama Canal, prospects looked a little brighter last week. Rolling up its maps in Mexico City at the end of one of its occasional meetings, the directing committee of the Pan American Highway Congress released information showing that only 6% of the 3,200-mile Laredo-to-Panama stretch is still missing. Work is going ahead on two of the three main gaps, and Vice President Richard Nixon has called...
Studebaker, which showed off its 1955 models early in October, last week did something rare in the auto industry. It brought out an entire series of new cars, which wags promptly dubbed "1955½ models." In its basic Champion, Commander and President lines, Studebaker had 16 new sedan and station-wagon models with wraparound windshields, sportier dashboards and more horsepower. At the same time it boosted horsepower on its old 1955 Commanders from 140 to 162, on Presidents from 175 to 185. Reason for the midseason retooling was to help Studebaker compete with the Big Three's high...
