MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON WEDNESDAY. APRIL 17. 1(13 Higher Prices for 1964 Cars Possible Detroit - OD - An industry wide steel price increase prob ably would result in higher prices for 1964 model cars But the increase would not affect the prices of 1963 models, it was generally agreed. Arguing against an imme diate increase was the fact that the industry has been stockpiling steel as a hedge against a possible shutdown in the steel industry. While enough steel is not on hand to see the industry through the start of 1964 production, it was felt that the industry would absorb added steel costs through the end of this model year. For one thing, cars sales are at record levels and the major auto firms are reporting hand some profits this year. In ad dition, the industry tradition ally docs not change prices in the middle of a model year, preferring to wait until the new cars are introduced. Auto prices have remained steady since 1958 and the com panies have absorbed the cost of five wage increases in workers' salaries.
