Camouflage? Pish! Motorists have known it for years. For almost a dozen calendars, owners of cars have camouflaged license numbers before invading hostile territory in which the wily robber baron had his speed trap by the simple—as the writers say—expedient of sprinkling it with oil. Mrs. Nature, aided by the dust of the road, did the rest.
Then there are the pietry cutouts they slip on small cars which makes the veriest purr sound like the evening ensemble on the western front.
Special bodies have contributed much to the scheme of camouflage as motordom has known it. Some of these most effectually disguise a car. One particular body, with a pointed radiator and bright brass fittings makes a light car look exactly like a Ford.
Goggles. Are they not splendid camouflage!
And who would suspect that a motorcycle with a lady on the rear would have a country bull with a star on his suspenders riding on the front seat?
Camouflage!
Very ancient stuff.
