...doesn't really know for sure of course, that the real Hubert Humphrey is the real Hubert Humphrey of this film, just as one cannot be certain that the present bombing halt is an end to the bombing. Driving a Mustang doesn't necessarily make you potent either, but that's no reflection on the quality...
...only a few. At Ford, the major work has been done on the full-size cars, including the LTD, which will be wider and lower, boast such features as a "flight cockpit" instrument array, a short rear deck and the long hood that is fast becoming a Detroit cliche. Mustang, the car that inspired the look, is becoming fast, period. Next year's "Mach 1" model will be able to live up to the name of its "Cobra Jet Ram-Air V8" engine. Top speed: 150 m.p.h.-plus...
...what about the influence of commercials? They teach, says Hayakawa, "that there is an instant, simple solution to all problems. Acid indigestion can be relieved with Alka-Seltzer; unpopularity can be overcome by using Ban; feelings of sexual inadequacy can be banished by buying a new Mustang, which will transform you into an instant Casanova."

Ford plans to have its minimodel on the market next April, and General Motors expects to introduce its version in the fall of 1969, at the same time dropping its slow-moving Corvair. American Motors also hopes to produce a small car next year, provided that it can hold down the tooling-up costs. The only automaker without a domestic minimodel in the works is Chrysler, which instead has decided to consider development of what it calls a "world...
Farthest along in the development race is Ford, whose six-cylinder, 100-h.p. entry will resemble a sawed-off Mustang and have a semi-fastback roof-line that will make it sportier than the Volkswagen, Japan's Toyota, and other leading low-priced imports. The car is currently being test-run at the company's proving ground in suburban Dearborn. Code-named "the Delta," it is considerably longer (176 in. to 159 in.) than the Volkswagen, but does not stand quite as high (53 in. to 59 in,). It will get about 22 miles to a gallon...
