EDITORIALS 1. The Low Priced Three Make Big Moves When the I960 models carae out this year thoy were accom- panied by three little cars known to us as compact cars. These cars are supposed to boost the sales of the Ford, Chevy, and Chrysler products. Judging by tho salos of Lark and Rambler,I would say that these small cars would be a deciding asset to the dealers' sales this yoar. People who drive in cities or short distances know that your big V eight engines are real gas hogs at low speeds. Y ou get better milage at fifty than at twenty miles per hour. When the Fords made their appearance this year their little car was the Falcon. This car was test driven all through tho United States. It isn’t radically designed or anything; in fact,while it was on its test runs through the country the Ford Motor Company made no attempt to disguise it in anyway. This little bird is powered by a ninty-horse power six cylinder engine. The company boasts up to thrity miles per gallon. The Chevrolet bid for honors has taken the European twist with its pan cake, air cooled enginojlying flat in the rear of tho car. This feature the company picked as a slogan for salos promotion, saying the car had the engine i n the rear whore it should be in a compact car. This statement was the center of controversy with some other companies. One feature that people will take like, I think, in this car is that the transmission hump in tho front is naturally not there. Tho unique thing about the heater is that is is gas oporatod. The names of Chevy’s small car is Corvair which was derived from its sports car, tho Belair sories. Chrysler’s entry into tho small car parade is the Valiant. This car is more radically designed than either of the others. It is said that it has more zip than tho others also. For people who like style and still want economy this would be just what they wore looking for. All and all this could prove to be a very interesting year for the automotive industry. Whoever comes out on top of the heap will give tho Rambler and the other small cars some competition this year. Richard Toof '61
