(At Cobo Hall, Ford needled its rivals for their unabashed plagiarism with signs declaring that Ford has "the roof that tops them all.") A more subtle piracy from Ford is the copying of the Lincoln Continental's smooth slab sides by Buick. Oldsmobile and Pontiac. Chrysler, too, is expected to follow this trend next year, now that the 1961 Continental's designer, Elwood Engel, has been lured away to be Chrysler's styling chief...

"She was gone in a flash," said a passenger. "Not a cry-not a word...
...Teutonic version of the Cardinal, the small car which Ford originally intended to produce in the U.S. as well. The 12M has a V-4 engine that drives the front wheels. Price: $1,500. > Ford of Britain's Cortina, the conservative British version of the Cardinal, has conventional rear-wheel drive, a top speed of 77 m.p.h., and costs $1,600. >West Germany's Opel Kadett, General Motor's newest European entry, features a roomy interior and trunk, is practically indistinguishable from the R-8 or Giulia in its box-tail styling, and sells...
