...Valiant sedan, will come in two-seat and three-seat (six-nine passengers) models. In both versions the seats will fold down to provide 72.3 cu. ft. of cargo space (v. 95.8 cu. ft. for the regular Plymouth wagon). Factory list price: $2,164, or $213 less than the cheapest Plymouth station wagon. Scheduling a minimum 30% of the Valiant production in wagons, Chrysler is drawing a compact bead on the station-wagon boom, which is growing so fast that 19% of the industry's 1959 production was in wagons...

Sometimes the transactions were legal, often they were not. In recent years the smugglers alone have been netting about $100 million in sales.

Cole expects that many Corvair buyers will not even want the automatic shift, will prefer the stick shift on the floor to get back the "feel of driving." Thus the Corvair, with the minimum extras needed, will...
...narrower (66.9 in. v. 70 in.), less powerful (80 h.p. v. 90 h.p.). Compared with the standard Chevy, the Corvair is one-third lighter (2,375 Ibs. v. 3,760 Ibs.), will burn 25% to 40% less gas, sell for about $225 less than the cheapest Chevy when it goes into the showrooms Oct. 2. Factory list prices begin at $1,860 for the four-door model, drop to $1,810 for a two-door that will be introduced early next year. Among the optional gear: automatic transmission ($135), gasoline heater (under $70). Counting taxes, transport and extras, a Corvair...
