By Herbert Chase ADMIRERS of British and other European light carshave often expressed the hope that a car of similardesign and proportions would be built in this coun-try. Some efforts in that direction have indeed been madebut have either failed or the design has been modified tomeet the demands of the American public or other domesticfactors, notably the competition of cars produced in quan-tity at a lower price. The Moller Motor Co. is attackingthe problem from another angle by the production byAmerican methods of a light car intended not primarilyfor domestic, but for European consumption.
