Auto companies do their best to enhance the illusion: naming cars "Le Mans," "Monza," "G.T.O.," "Grand Prix"; equipping them with bucket seats, tachometers, four-speed transmissions, and speedometers thoughtfully calibrated up to 160 m.p.h.-85 m.p.h. above the highest legal speed limit...

Restyled Ramblers have already lost their boxy lines and blossomed forth in hard-tops and convertibles, with bucket seats, floor-mounted gearshifts and even a big, 8-cylinder engine that is definitely not economical. The fastback Marlin, introduced last March, is as sporty a car as Detroit manufactures today; it was rushed onto the showroom floors to give the public the message that American can be a swinging outfit...
