Fenders and Running Boards
The front and rear fenders are new on all models,
both having a skirt at the rear end. The front fenders
and head lamps are tied rigidly together at the front
end through the radiator casing as shown in Fig. 22.
A rear view of the fender tie rod showing how it is
attached to the headlamp bracket is presented in
Fig. 23.
The fender tie rods must be removed to remove the
radiator and casing assembly, simply by disconnecting
them from the radiator casing, the headlamp brackets
and the fenders. The brace rod in the radiator casing
will remain in position.

The scries " C " frames are of the same construction
as the corresponding " B " models.
Gasoline System
A l l
adjustments and service operations on the
gasoline system are made the same as on the " B "
series cars.
In order to insure proper alignment of the fender tie
rods, when reinstalling the radiator and casing as-
sembly, the tie rods should be attached to the head-
lamp brackets before they are fastened to the radiator
casing.
The tie rods can be adjusted to the proper
length simply by turning them in or out of the radiator
casing bracket.
The running boards are of the same construction as
on the "B" series but they are made deeper at the ends
to conform to the new fenders.

Lighting System
The lighting system on the new cars is the same as
on the "B" series and the aiming of the headlamp is
done in the same manner as before. Super-Safe head-
lamps are used on all models except the LaSalle.
A new type headlamp door is used on the LaSalle.
The door and lamp both have a rolled joint for neater
appearance. A slight change has also been made in
the LaSalle headlamp mounting bracket.
It is no
longer fastened to the fender at the side but supported
at the rear to the fender tie-rod which is attached to
the radiator casing.
