Standing Ovation. Last week Haney was struggling to eat his words gracefully. The fired-up Angels were basking in the first division, and Lefthander Belinsky was the hottest pitcher in baseball. His fastball whistling across the heart of the plate, his curve and screwball nipping the corners, the rookie had won four straight games, and his earned-run average was a miserly 1.55, best in the majors.

...front, and a bucket bench for two in the rear. With a fiber-glass body mounted on a steel chassis and an engine of 300 h.p. or more, the Avanti will go from standing to 60 m.p.h. in a scant 6.7 sec.-a performance rivaling that of the hottest European sports cars.

Designed to capture a chunk of the market now held by the Rambler American and such utility imports as the Volkswagen, the Cardinal will be produced, starting in July, at the same Louisville plant that made the ill-fated Edsel. To cut labor costs, Ford will have some Cardinal parts-including the engine, transmission and differential-machined in Germany and shipped to Louisville for assembly. Ford's German and British subsidiaries will manufacture local variants...
