...coolest customers in the U.S. these days are the nation's teenagers, who number 22 million and are growing as a group three times faster than the total population.

At one light, the driver of a Chevrolet Impala pulled along side and mouthed through his closed window: "Is that it?" He was left behind in the exhaust. As the white car approached a school bus and slowed again, the win dows flew up and the children in side chanted: "Mustang! Mustang! Mustang!" This week Ford's new Mustang sports...
...renters have never served before-and Hertz wants its share of them. Valcar will offer all the regular features in its rented cars (radio, seat belts, etc.) but will eliminate such extras as revolving credit, airport locations, car delivery and wide choice of models. It will rent a Chevrolet Impala for $6 a day plus 60 a mile with no gasoline included v. $10 a day plus 100 per mile and free gasoline for a regular Hertz...
