...gloomy stillness enveloped Ford Motor Co.'s normally bustling assembly plant in Metuchen, NJ. The plant was closed all last week to reduce a mounting backlog of unsold Pintos and Mercury Bobcats, two of the smallest models Ford produces. At the same time, a bulging inventory of Chevrolet's sub-compact Vegas prompted General Motors Corp. to eliminate a second shift at its huge superautomated plant in Lordstown, Ohio...
...Pacer. Chevrolet's economical Chevette, introduced with great fanfare last October, is expected to fall well below its sales target of 275,000 to 300,000 units this year. Another disappointment: AMC's Pacer, which took off briskly when introduced a year ago, posted sales of more than 100,000 in the first ten months or so, then abruptly fell out of favor. To get sales moving again AMC is now throwing in free $425 air conditioners with all Pacer purchases...

The bodies lay there until January 5, when they were discovered by Yablonski's son Kenneth...
...inanity wasn't restricted to the announcing. Chevrolet paid ABC $69,000 for a one-minute commercial showing Chevy's six small cars out in the snow on the side of a mountain, while a chorus rhymed Chevrolet with U. S. of A. over and over, and the main plug came from a dude in front of a standup piano amongst the cars, in the snow, in the middle of nowhere...
