...future seemed so shaky that its creditors, a consortium of 24 banks headed by Chase Manhattan, examined the books every ten days. The new chiefs sold AMC's finance subsidiary and Kelvinator Appliance to pay some of the debts, trimmed costs by $20 million annually to cut the breakeven point from 343,000 to 250,000 cars a year, and last year turned a profit of $3,300,000 on sales of 260,000 cars.
