...preaching is so fiery that two white-uniformed nurses stand by to aid overwrought parishioners. Franklin commands up to $4,000 per appearance as a barnstorming evangelist, has recorded 70 steadily selling LPs of his sermons. He may not be a member of the Baptist Ministers Conference, but his Cadillac, diamond stickpins and $60 alligator shoes testify to an eminently successful pastorate.

...Both Buick and Oldsmobile have held their own, but Chevrolet models have proved a mixed bag. Corvair has slipped by about 10,000 units from a poor 17,986 sales last year. So far this year, Chevy II and Camaro have saved the day. Cadillac continues at its phenomenal pace, selling all the models that the division can turn...
