So far, Van Doorne has stayed awake there long enough to win 102 automotive patents, including one for the automatic transmission used in the two-cylinder DAF cars he began to make five years ago. DAF, which brags that "The Dutch Took the Clutch out of the Compact Car," sold 16.000 vehicles last year.

With their 1962 lines, the other auto manufacturers hoped to persuade the buying public to settle down to a relatively few standard-sized, compact and intermediate models. Gambling heavily on the intermediate Fairlane-which has done well, but partly at the expense of Falcon and Galaxie sales-Ford downgraded its medium-priced Mercury.
