...more powerful engine, chrome-trimmed fenders, and an optional cloth-covered white roof. Pontiac showed off its Le Mans five-passenger coupe, a sleeker version of the standard four-cylinder Tempest with a four-speed gearbox and wire wheels. Ford introduced its new Futura (TIME, March 24) and Comet S-22. Chrysler showed off its experimental Turboflite; it has a rakish body by Ghia, a gas turbine engine only half as heavy as a regular V8, and an aft flap that acts as an air brake...
...market." Some dealers complain that this proliferation confuses not only the customer but the salesman, too. Often compacts with different names are remarkably similar. General Motors' Olds F85 and Buick Special both have the same body shell and almost the same motor; Ford's Falcon and Comet have the same engine; the Chrysler Valiant and Lancer are lookalikes. Many dealers not only battle competitors but knock cars made by the same manufacturer. Dodge puts out a "confidential" booklet for Lancer salesmen pointing out the good features of the Lancer and the bad ones of the Valiant-though both...
...back home from a visit to Denmark, Elizabeth had no such protection as she jetted along near the West German-Dutch border at a 35,000-ft. altitude.

They closed with the Comet at more than 1,000 m.p.h., whooshed past little more than a jet's-breadth above the airliner. The Queen and Prince Philip were unaware of their close call, but not so one of the copilots...
...speeches," he said. "I did it that I should no longer be encaged." At week's end Baltika sailed away, with out Jaanimets and without Khrushchev & Co., who had already gone home by turboprop. Instead, Baltika had a new car go: three cars (Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Comet), TV sets, air conditioners and a seven-ton truckload of capitalist loot for VIPs to take back...
Ford has returned to crisper, more conventional styling similar to the lines of its 1959 cars. Like Buick, the standard Fords are shorter and narrower. The compact Falcon is basically unchanged, has an optional engine that produces 101 h.p. (v. the standard 85-h.p. engine). Ford's successful Comet is also little changed, has a more powerful optional engine. New to Ford's line (TIME, Sept. 19) is a compact truck similar to the snub-nosed Volkswagen Micro...
