Obacz crammed his wife and two sons, Lester, 9, and Christopher, 5, into the rear seat of a prop-driven, two-seater training plane.

Ever since Ford introduced its highly successful four-seater Thunderbird in 1958, Detroit has been speculating on when General Motors would bring out a competitor. Buick ended the speculation last week when it unwrapped its big-fendered Riviera hardtop, which is firmly dedicated to the G.M. principle that if you have to join 'em, beat 'em.
