Insurance men attribute their woes to an impressive array of factors. They cite rising crime rates, more auto accidents and higher costs for repairs and medical care; repairing a new Chevrolet's dented rear fender, which cost $16.85 twenty years ago, now costs $149.75. Dishonest and fraudulent claims have risen steadily, and juries seem as quick to give out generous awards as state insurance commissions are slow to allow rate increases. As if all these troubles were not enough, the industry has contributed to its dilemma by engaging in a ruinous rate...
...make for the most dramatically changed models in years. There will be a futuristic fastback shape for the Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac line: a switch of seven models to vertical double headlights; the Ford's and Chrysler's new slab sides; a hop-up rear fender for the Chevrolet; and a new shape for the Corvair that makes it look like a miniature version of the Buick Riviera. These details, however, are ancient history to a small group of men who are already displaying considerable interest in the looks and features of Detroit's 1967 models...
Just like any other middle-aged couple seeing the U.S.A. in a Chevrolet, Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, 44, and his wife Irina ate hot dogs, stayed at motels, and plotted their way on A.A.A. maps for a 1,366-mile Western drive-it-yourself tour in a rented Chevy.

Cracked the President: "I am proud and inspired and stimulated that there is a Ford in my future. And with Jack Gordon here to night, I hope there is a Chevrolet. Lady Bird and I have waited so, so long to be a two-car family." And the two automen, who have labor-contract negotiations opening this week, have waited so, so long for a President who, they hope, might not be inclined to interfere on the side of labor...
Rinse & Set. While Irene and her new husband were honeymooning in Italy, Juliana received the good wishes of her people on her 55th birthday. Wearing glasses and with a new hair rinse and set, she drove along the road in front of the palace in a Chevrolet convertible so that the crowds could get a better look. Later, on TV, she told the nation a little unconvincingly that her roles as Queen and mother had never clashed in the matter of Irene's wedding. She thanked her subjects for "the love you have shown our daughter Irene, whom...
