...lyrics were written by Richard Wilbur, with help from John LaTouche, Dorothy Parker, Miss Hellman and Leonard Bernstein. They are about on a par with the libretto.

Dreams. General Motors' 1956 Motorama opened a four-month, coast-to-coast run in Manhattan with five new "dream cars," plus the gas-turbined Firebird II (TIME, Dec. 26) and the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, a 1955 experimental model scheduled to go into production in August. The aluminum-roofed Brougham (base price: $8,500) is G.M.'s answer to Ford's Continental Mark II, and features such gadgets as a driver's seat that pivots outward for easy access. Highlights of the dream cars: Chevrolet's Impala, a five-passenger hardtop version...

At the latest count, dealers had an average of only 1.4 unsold '55 models-and a total of 64,000 unfilled orders for '56 models...
...models, bear a family resemblance to this year's Mercury Montclair. The engine is the most powerful Lincoln has ever built, and one of the most powerful ever put in a U.S. family car (285 h.p. v. 225 in the 1955 Lincoln, 270 in the Cadillac Eldorado. 275 in the Packard Caribbean, and 300 in Chrysler's limited production "300"). Both Premiere and Capri have automatic transmission and power steering as standard equipment; the Premiere adds power window controls and a device that moves the driver's seat in any of four directions. Optional: power brakes...
