...models only add to the pressure on dealers to dispose of '69 cars. Next year's models will include a wide selection of new specialty sports cars and compacts. Chrysler, for example, will introduce its Challenger to do battle with Ford's still highly successful Mustang. Last week President William Luneburg announced that next year American Motors will bring out a Volkswagen-size car called the Gremlin...
...ranch" even has air service. Owned by Rick Blakemore, an unpaid deputy sheriff of Nye County, Mustang Air Service operates two Cessna 206s on the run between Las Vegas and Tonopah, making seven stops en route at bordellos like Cottontail Ranch. In addition to transporting Johns named Smith, "I fly the girls to and from the houses and take the doctor and the county health officer on regular Saturday inspection tours," says Blakemore. He performs other official functions, like fingerprinting the prostitutes in each brothel for the sheriff's office files. "This is a dirty, rotten business," he cheerfully...
...specialists. Detroit's Carl Porter, a 28-year-old Wayne State graduate, has built up his Theme Productions by producing and selling radio commercials as we as distinctive, hard-rhythm station breaks.

The new Mach I, which can be ordered with an engine of up to 335 h.p., already accounts for 22% of all Mustangs sold. There...
Despite the growing alarm, Detroit continues to promote the speed derby. General Motors has just introduced an all-aluminum 550-h.p. engine for the Corvette Sting Ray; with that power pack, the car costs about $9,000. Ford hopes to lure speedsters with a souped-up Mustang, called the "Boss 302." The auto is built with a wing across the rear deck to provide a downward thrust that adds traction to the wheels; it also has fixed louvres as bizarre sunshades on the rear window. The still more powerful "Boss 429" has a 375-h.p. engine that will whip...
