Britain's entries included 1) a new, boxlike Ford Anglia, with a four-cylinder engine capable of 50 to 60 m.p.h., which sells for about $1,100, and 2) the Standard Eight, a four-cylinder model that sells for $956. France showed off a tiny Rovin convertible, with a top speed of 50 m.p.h. and a $1,033 price tag. There was also a front-wheel-drive Citroën, one of France's most popular cars (it has a two-year waiting list), with a two-cylinder engine, maximum speed of 50 m.p.h. and price...

He knows as well as any Englishman that, in case of war, Britain would be a major target for Russian attack-with or without U.S. bases. The best guess is that Prime Minister Churchill is using the East Anglia issue, as he is several others (e.g. his stout refusal to abandon plans for a .280-caliber rifle, when most of the allies prefer...
...British cars were priced well under U.S. cars. Nuffield's two-passenger MG Midget was down to $1,850 delivered in New York, Austin's five-passenger sedan was tagged at $1,480 (its "hardtop" is higher), and Ford Motor Co. Ltd.'s small, four-passenger Anglia...
