Wednesday, October 29, 13 New Car Buyers Casting Vote in Business History Chicago - Everybody who buys a new car this year is casting a vote in one of the most important "elections" in business history, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine. Perhaps for the first time in the history of the industry the public has four distinct choices, the. magazine asserts. A vote for General Motors is a vote for continuing the fast - moving -style changes. GM is betting that the big-car critics are wrong. From Chev rolet up, GM cars are bigger, lusher and better looking than ever. Your vote here is for glamor, prestige, and a lifted morale as well as good transportation. , Buy Ford and you vote for restyling that keeps the over all image while gradually out dating the sheet metal. Ford cars change, but the change is evolutionary. You won't feel disgraced if you keep driving last year's model. Chrysler has changed too, but only very little compared with Ford and GM. If you feel the industry should not make sweeping changes which drastically depreciate your investment, vote for Chrysler. American Motors is offering cars virtually unchanged from 1958. Buy Rambler and you vote with the critics who claim automobiles have lost their symbolism and who want sensible, neat designs which don't take up too much space in the garage or on the street. The upcoming small Studebaker is on this same ballot. When the year is over, your purchase may have helped the industry to decide whether to stick to bigger, more luxur ious models or switch to smaller styles with a foreign influence. For Go.
