Messrs. Maddox and Co. show a fine saloon on one
of the new 32 h.p. Minerva chassis at a cost of £650 for the body. I was struck with the extreme comfort of the seating. One of the front seats could be lifted right out of the car to allow room for luggage. This firm had a most unusual windscreen on a 12 h.p. Fiat chassis. This was V shaped but was made of one sheet of glass bent in the middle ; this gave it at once a novel and interesting appearance. The Albany Carriage Co. designed and built the " Airway Saloon" Lancia, and had an attractive fabric Weymann saloon at £275. on another Lancia chassis. This saloon had independently adjustable bucket basket work seats in front and the rear seat moved forward and allowed for two occasional seats behind it. All the upholstery was pneumatic and very comfortable.
