...York World's Fair next April, Ford will introduce a four-passenger sports car that will cost less than $2,500 (v. about $4,500 for the Chevrolet Corvette and Studebaker Avanti, already on the market); it will have the long hood and short rear-end characteristic of Britain's top-selling sports cars. Chevrolet expects to be in the showrooms late next spring with a rear-engine sports car built on the low-priced Corvair chassis with a sleek, sloping rear end (called a fastback in Detroit). By then, the aggressive Pontiac Division also intends...
Into Intermediate. General Motors figures that it has another trend spotted in the sales success of Ford's inter mediate-sized Fairlane, which is in a niche between the compacts and standard-sized cars. G.M.'s Chevrolet Divi sion is readying an elegant, all-new intermediate car that it is tentatively calling the Chevelle.

Prices are up slightly from a year ago even though there are more cars for sale, and the hottest used seller is the car that also leads the new-auto field: Chevrolet. Volkswagen also ranks high as a used car; last week at a wholesale auto auction, the place where the trade sets its prices, a 1960 VW carried a wholesale price of $1,080 v. $1,000 for a 1960 Ford Galaxie that when new cost $1,000 more than...
Outside the Limits. Writing "On the Move" is not exactly a pensioner's job. Ainsworth often packs his wife into his well-worn white Chevrolet for weekend camping expeditions, spends so much time on the road that when a Times editor is asked where he can be reached, the usual answer is a shrugged "Who knows...
