...Coliseum with more than 600 cars from 68 automakers in nine countries, and as always the crowds clustered admiringly around the rich and the racy. Britain's famed Rolls-Royce showed off a new Silver Cloud convertible ($19,350); there was a 150-m.p.h. Aston Martin sports sedan ($9,870), a new French Facel-Vega sedan ($12,800), and a handsome roadster ($10,500) from Germany's B.M.W. But the real news this year was the continuing growth of the small-car market, and the automakers' pitch to the family that would rather spend its money...
...central Newfoundland one evening last week, two bands of men ranged along a provincial highway. Ten Mounties on foot kept a wary eye on more than 100 picketing loggers of the striking International Woodworkers of America, set on intercepting non-I.W.A. loggers. When the I.W.A. halted a sedan to threaten the four passengers in it, the Mounties radioed Grand Falls for help. More Mounties and provincial constables rushed to the scene. Police night sticks and loggers' crude clubs swung through the chilly air. Provincial Constable William J. Moss, 24, caught a blow on the head from a birch...
...craft of the show, Richardson's ten-bunk motor yacht, 46 ft. long and $46,000 high. For the carnage trade there were still costlier craft, including Matthews' 42-ft., double-cabin cruiser at $53,000, and Wheeler's 43-ft., flying-bridge sedan at $55,000. But, more than ever, boat builders emphasized economy to lure more middle-income families, made wider use of low-cost, low-upkeep plastics and fiber glass. The percentage of fiberglass craft in the show has doubled since 1957; this year 150 of the 430 vessels were of fiber glass...
...your Sept. 8 article "The Generous Lender," reference is made to a certain controversial figure whose unique banking methods are under investigation by the Italian Parliament. Your untrue statement says: "Not long after [Giambattista] Giuffre's black custom-built Fiat sedan drew up at the monastery of the Passionist Fathers at Cesta di Copparo, the Passionists had a new monastery, 20 new acres of farm land and an $850,000 Sanctuary to the Blessed Virgin of Peace." Signor Giuffre never visited outhouse at Cesta di Copparo, nor has he ever donated so much as one Italian lira...
Even Japan is hustling to get into the race. Though the industry produced only 42,597 passenger cars last year, automakers plan big things. Toyota Motor Co., which makes a sturdy Toyopet sedan (30 miles per gal.) for $2,222, has shipped 800 cars so far this year, including 150 to Hawaii. Japan's other major producer, Nissan Motor Co., with a smaller Datsun sedan (40 miles per gal.) for $1,762, has sent out another 800 to Hawaii and the West Coast. The reception was so enthusiastic that the two companies see a U.S. market of 500 cars...
