...long, ducktails bit the dust. His custom-made pearl-inlaid guitar slipped from his hands And in its place a new electric one he had flown in from Japan. He's a cheeseburger-eatin', abandoned- Sunday-meetin', Brand New Country Star. He rides around in a Lincoln Continental, no steer horns on his car. The recordmen say he's the living end, gonna spin him to the top. He's a hot Roman candle from the Texas panhandle. He can either go country or pop. Yeah, he can either go country...

Sales of Mercedes-Benz cars rose from 331,682 in 1973 to 350,098 in 1975. Buoyed by that performance as well as by rising truck and bus production (229,-303, up 11.7% from 1974), Daimler-Benz is now Europe's largest automotive manufacturer...
