The unusual body of the Cornmer van, which is illustrated on this page, was constructed by Mr. S. H. Bond, of Rusholme, Manchester, to the registered design of Holland Coachcraft, Ltd., of Glasgow, a concern which specializes in streamlined bodywork. The body has a capacity of 350 cubic ft. and is constructed of ash framing, cased on the inside with birch plywood and panelled on the outside in 18gauge silver steel, the panels being hand-beaten ; the mouldings are of polished aluminium. Behind the rear axle the body is of the well type to provide low loading, and the interior is reached by way of two folding doors at the rear. The white enamel 'finish of the body creates a most distinctive appearance. The lettering consists of raised wooden blocks painted and lined in black. The body is mounted an a Comrner Centaur forward-control chassis, and the vehicle has been snpplied to T. Kerfoot and Co., Bardsley. By way of providing an interesting comparison in streamlined bodywork effects we also publish on this page a picture of the Chrysler Airflow.
