By glancing at the radar's 12-in. "scope," he could follow all harbor doings for a mile around. A squarish blob meant a ferryboat; a small oval, a tug. Moored ships showed their anchor chains. Snaking her heavy barges through all these obstacles, the Transfer 21 made Jersey without trouble, though only the radar's electronic eye had seen the water...

The Customs, available in "formal or semiformal" body styles, sacrifice no dignity for the sake of streamlining. Swankiest of all are the long, low-swung Continentals, crown jewel of Ford engineering. Squarish rear decks and little gingerbread give them a European air. Lincoln horsepower...
