...began like a trip to a church picnic. Crammed into the Land-Rover bouncing over South Viet Nam's heavily traveled Route 20 were American Missionary Elwood Jacobsen, 35, and Filipino Missionary Caspar Makil, 36, with their wives and five children. After months of ministering to primitive Vietnamese natives, the two missionaries and their families were headed for the Makil home near the mountain resort of Dalat...

He imported a new styling chief, Elwood Engel, 45, from Ford last fall, too late to do much more than alter taillights and grilles. Engel's touch, which fashioned Ford's 1961 Lincoln Continental, will be felt in the Chrysler '645. For inspiration he plans to visit Cape Canaveral to watch the mis siles fly by. "Can't you just imagine," he remarks, "how beautiful...
