...recession-affected Americans turned to compact cars, the company's Rambler was first and foremost in the domestic compact market, almost became king of the road. Just to meet the demand and get the car into customers' hands, A.M.C. President George Romney-now Governor of Michigan-permitted archaic and costly work practices to continue.
