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.
