Combination wood and steelbodies will continue to be made for a long time to come,because such bodies make for ease of manufacture andlow initial production costs. It costs more to start in all-metal production, yet this type has its advantages. The combination body, however, can be made lighterthan the all-metal body, and lends itself better to presentmanufacturing methods. The all-metal body presents certain advantages in con-nection with finishing not given by the combination or baking processes can be used instead of. 1262 AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIES THE AUTOMOBILE June 16, 1921
