...trucks that hauled his booty. Palamarchuk, who has never served time despite nine arrests, was happy to oblige. Even today, after his star student's fall, Palamarchuk makes no excuses about the milieu he inhabited.

Palamarchuk has raging gray hair, grungy clothes and the thick, menacing fingers of a man who's been plundering cars since the 1950s.

The first major departure will be the Beretta and Corsica, followed in the fall of 1987 by a line of intermediate-size autos, designated the W-body cars in keeping with Detroit's penchant for alphabetic code names. GM allotted nearly $7 billion, its largest development budget ever, to create the front-wheel-drive W-body models. While the cars...
