Lead Opinion

This case was transferred to this court from the District Court of Appeal of the Fourth Appellate District, after decision by that court, for the purpose of giving further consideration to the question of an implied warranty in the sale by a dealer of an automobile which, after such sale, proved to be defective and unfit for use. We have devoted some time to the study of the sections of the *771 Civil Code relating to the subject of warranties in the sale of personal property in effect at the date of said sale and of the decisions of this state construing these sections of the code, and are constrained to agree with the decision of the District Court of Appeal in holding that in the sale of said automobile there was no implied warranty as to its fitness to perform either the special purpose for which it was purchased or the general purposes for which machines of that character are used. We therefore adopt the opinion of that court, written by Mr. Presiding Justice Barnard, and make it the opinion of this court. It is as follows:

The judgment appealed from is reversed.
