...SEMON E. ("Bunky") KNUDSEN, 49, son of late G.M. President William S. Knudsen, and previously vice president and general manager of the Pontiac division, shifted into Cole's job at Chevrolet -one that his father held for nine years...

To differentiate it from the standard Pontiacs. which have new prow-shaped grilles, the Grand Prix grille is split by a vertical wedge.

Long-ailing Buick and its new smaller Special model climbed from 2.5% to 4.1% of the market, thanks to less chrome and more performance. (One competitor calls Buick's mechanical performance this year "about the best in the industry.") Oldsmobile, with a loyal core of repeat buyers, inched up from 5.3% to 5-5%. though its smaller...
