The usefully big luggage con- taner at the rear of the car has a lid which hinges backwards against two light coll springs, so that a sufciently wide opening is given to allow baggage to be put in or taken out, and here "there is a clever. though small, .." point. Owing to the position of the number plate and tail lamp the lid of the container would foul the plate, when opened. so the number plate is pivoted on its bracket, and the luggage-container lid is connected to it by a short section of chain, and when the lid is opened the plate awinga round sufficiently, to be out of the way.
A very interesting point is that the pillarless pressed-steel body is, in effect, also the frame of the car, for there is no ordinary chas- sis. This is a form of construc- tion in which Lancia have had previous experience with the ear- Her Lambda.

How KALZANA acts-
Your body is built up of millions of living cells, the vital part of which is dependent upon Calcium for its Health. Any shortage of Celcium weakens the whole constitution and causes disturbances in the functions of the internal organs, resulting in undue pains and excessive loss. Kalzana con- tains the extra calcium needed to overcome Calcium-deficiency --the root of your trouble-and so, in a natural way, will quickly bring you back to real. carefree health again.
