...Ford in Dearborn, Mich., is a bit less cheery than at GM. The company had sales of $43 billion last year, and so far this year has man aged to hold its share of the market for U.S. makes, about 27%, vs. 60% for GM.

The star performer at General Motors last month was the boxy Chevette; its sales were up 84%, compared with a year ago. At Ford, Mustang sales rose 14%, while the new Fairmont is a stellar seller. Ford's lacocca puts himself in the position of a price-conscious buyer who has been out of the market for a few years and then visits a showroom to do some tire kicking.
