In Seward, Neb., a discount hardware store owner named Harold Davisson last year interred a 1975 Chevrolet in a crypt of concrete and steel. This year he is adding a blue Kawasaki motorcycle.

Its rise in sales this year of some 622,000 cars has been larger than the increases at all the other automakers combined. Among GM's leaders: the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the Pontiac Grand Prix, both carrying base prices of $4,600 to $5,200, and its compact Chevy Nova and Oldsmobile Cutlass, which lists at $4,500 and has been the industry's top seller for two years running...
