...Mustangs and Lincolns to meet demand, but its Comet is a disappointment, and the compact Falcon is 13% behind last year's sales. At Chrysler, the compact Dart and Valiant are down, but the big Chrysler is doing well, the intermediate Plymouth Belvedere is up and the intermediate Coronet has surged 36% for the model year, best gain in the industry. American Motors is beginning to see some sunshine; after slipping for months, sales rose from 18,000 in January to almost 25,000 in February...
