...grille. The Riviera will have a 117-in. wheelbase, 340-h.p. engine, and come in a four-passenger, two-door, hardtop model. Chevrolet, also hoping to cut in on the Thunderbird, plans to introduce a Corvette model with the "fastback look" (Detroitese for the convex rear lines popularized by Jaguar's hot XK-E). The big Chevrolet will have its rear doctored to resemble the pointed silhouette of this year's Chevy II. Pontiac will set its dual headlights vertically, and on the pizazz Grand Prix plans to introduce a new "prestige" color: iridescent blue-black...
Erstwhile Congressman Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., 47, now a new dealer in Jaguar and Fiat autos, found himself embroiled with the Treasury over his income tax.

Cruising speed for this fancy feline is a cool 120 m.p.h. But gadgetry is not a U.S. monopoly: Mark X's includes twin tables with mirrors that fold out into the rear seat, and an air-conditioning system that can deliver different measures of hot and cold to each passenger. The big new Facel Vega II from France has an instrument panel...
...actor and in leading roles in the West End. His working range runs from comedy through the sinister to the malevolent. Son of a railroad stationmaster, Pleasence is a retiring and almost anonymous man away from work, with a subdued passion for birds, flowers and motorcars (he drives a Jaguar). One curious result of his marvelously grimy performance in Caretaker is that he feels compelled to reassure people that "I do bathe-often. I had a bath a few minutes...
