GM, which was the first in the industry to employ. women- designers on its styling staff, listens carefully to these college trained "Damsels of Design" who work with men designers in shaping cars of tomorrow. Mitchell credits his women designers for helping create the soft, tasteful interiors of GM's 1960 cars. They' have been the strongest advocates of the sixway power seat, better placement of dashboard control knobs. more readable instrument dials and easier to clean interiors, he says.

The Chicago Motor Club points out, however, that many of these starting problems can be eliminated if motorists take the time to thoroughly condition their cars for the rigors of cold weather driving. The club also offers the following suggestions: -Don't grind your starter. Most motorists are unaware that continuous use of the starter for periods exceeding 30 to 45 seconds is detrimental to the battery. The best starting procedure.
is to make repeated attempts, lowing for 30 to 60 second rest periods for battery between tries. After the car does start, warm up the motor by letting it idle for several minutes. Never race a. cold motor. -Avoid constant pumping of the accelerator when the starter is engaged.
This only results in flooding the engine, causing ficult starting and heavy battery strain. If the engine is flooded. always wait several minutes before attempting to start your car again. -To keep your gas line from freezing, add 8 ounces of grain alcohol or approved commercial; equivalent to' every other full tank of gasoline.

"I see a mendous future for young: women in auto design and urge girl with artistic talent to consider it. First step is to attend good design school." What's responsible for the dramatic rise in deminine influence upon automobiles? Three main things, Mitchell says: First, a general feminine surge in activity in politics, culture and business. There 22 million women employed the United States one third the national labor force and million more women employed than at the peak of World War Second. the mass national move to the suburbs has made it perative for women to drive. Over 40 per cent of the nation's drivers licenses are held by women.

It has electronically controlled heating and cooling which would allow a driver to go from the North Pole to the equator and enjoy a single comfortable temperature.
