...suggest that half the council be made up of men from far-flung agencies of the General Motors Corporation. The remaining half could come from other cultural groups like Chrysler and Ford. It might also be a smart propaganda move to bring in a minority group spokesman, from Nash-Kelvinator. The important thing however is to make this change and set a new example. Time is of the essence...
Home-grown Hot Rods. Nash pioneered with its Nash-Healey, assembled it abroad with a British chassis, an Italian body (by Pinin Farina), and Nash engine and transmission, etc. The car was good enough to take third in the 24-hour Le Mans race in France last year, perhaps the world's toughest. Millionaire Briggs Cunningham built a car with a souped-up Chrysler engine that took fourth in the same race.

Good for any U.S. car (except Studebaker, Lincoln and the Nash Ambassador), Calnevar's sporty gadget covers the entire wheel, looks like the real thing. Calnevar has orders for 50,000, expects to sell 250,000 in 1953. Price: $99.50 to $109.50 for a set of four (real wire wheels cost $300 extra a set). But the company may find the competition...
