...long before. TIME readers have been told that the news would happen. As far back as 1953, TIME'S cover story on the small, sporty Studebaker (Feb. 2, 1953) spotted the small but growing opinion among auto experts that "the oversize car is on the way out, and car design may change fast in the next few years." TIME followed up with a cover story on the fast rise of Germany's small Volkswagen (Feb.15-1954...
Even so, Detroit thought the small car was just a fad. TIME was not so sure. In a cover story on Ford Styling Chief George Walker (Nov. 4, 1957), TIME underscored the rising chorus of complaints that "Detroit's new chariots are too long, too heavy, too brassy." What TIME was reporting did not agree with many of the automakers' market surveys. But when auto sales skidded down sharply, TIME again updated the subject in a cover story on the Big Three (May 12, 1958), buttonholed motorists around the land.

...Most Latin American Presidents have money," said Brazilian ex-President Joao Cafe Filho last week, his tone a bit wistful.

...story. Following this time-honored tradition under the hard eye of a demanding editor, a good reporter or photographer, haunted by the thought of being scooped, will use any trick of brain or brawn that he can devise. When more than 300 reporters and photographers are thrown together to cover one of the biggest stories any of them ever covered, all the tricks piled one on another can produce a near riot. Last week, as the U.S. press covered Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's tour of the U.S., that is precisely what happened...
...Cover) Not since Henry Ford put the nation on wheels with his model T has such a great and sweeping change hit the auto industry. Out from Detroit and into 7,200 Chevrolet showrooms this week rolled the radically designed Corvair, first of the Big Three's new generation of compact cars. Smaller and simpler than Detroit's chromespun standards, the Corvair is like no other model ever mass-produced in the U.S.; its engine is made of aluminum and cooled by air, and it is mounted in the rear. To Chevrolet's folksy, brilliant General Manager...
