...sedan, the new model is neat and nimble. It has the same 106.5-in. wheelbase and six-cylinder 101-h.p. canted engine as the Valiant sedan, will come in two-seat and three-seat (six-nine passengers) models. In both versions the seats will fold down to provide 72.3 cu. ft. of cargo space (v. 95.8 cu. ft. for the regular Plymouth wagon). Factory list price: $2,164, or $213 less than the cheapest Plymouth station wagon. Scheduling a minimum 30% of the Valiant production in wagons, Chrysler is drawing a compact bead on the station-wagon boom, which...
Such claims have stirred up an angry argument. Ford contends that a rear-engine car tends to oversteer and veer out on curves because the greater part of its weight is in the rear. It has less luggage space-only 15.6 cu. ft. in the Corvair v. 24.5 cu. ft. for the Falcon and 24.9 cu. ft. for the Valiant. (But the Corvair has an optional folding rear seat, for $32.50 extra, that provides another 13.3 cu. ft. of luggage room in the back.) Many engineers insist that a rear engine is not practical on the basis of present knowledge...

...natural gas. His Associated Oil & Gas Co. announced that it has proved up perhaps the largest untapped gas field in gas-rich South Texas. Estimated reserves: a trillion cubic feet. But that was only Harry Mosser's opening card; he also announced a contract to sell 800 billion cu. ft. of gas to Coastal States Gas Producing Co. at 16? per thousand cu. ft. (with escalator clause), biggest such deal in years. Coastal will build a ten-inch pipeline from the field in Duval and Jim Wells counties to Associated's recycling (i.e., processing) plant 25 miles away...
...July 1956 came a first producing well at Hassi Messaoud, in a field now estimated at 800 sq. mi. Two more promising oilfields have been discovered within a 50-mile radius of Edjelé, and one of the world's largest natural gas deposits (estimated reserves: 28 trillion cu. ft.) has been discovered at Hassi R'Mel, only 80 miles below the Algerian border...
