...hustled back to the dealer, said she wanted to get her old car back, tear up the contract and "forget the whole deal." The company said "nothing doing"; she had initialed the contract in 14 places...
Marcella Norman went back time and again with the same request. Always the answer was no. Finally, unable to stand it any longer, she phoned the dealer a warning: "If you don't take back that car, I'll drive it back-through your show window...
...Buick, its production of '58s halted at 242,000, v. 400,000 in the '57 model year, has scrapped its boxy, overchromed styling, will turn out a comparatively chrome-free, conservative "comeback car" in a "complete break with the past."

The Simca, which looks like a kissing cousin to Renault's fast-selling Dauphine, last year almost tripled its U.S. sales to 5,766. Its major models range from the 57-h.p., four-cylinder, 96-in.-wheelbase Aronde, priced at about $1,700 in New York, to the 84-h.p., eight-cylinder...
