Turtleneck sweaters have long been a staple for winter sportsmen, as well as an indispensable part of the beatnik uniform. The reasons for their popularity are obvious: they look trim and they eliminate the bother of a necktie.

At some small Manhattan parties, half the men now show up in turtlenecks...
...price low, A.M.C. will forgo annual styling changeovers, thus saving retooling costs. But Chapin does not intend to economize all the way. Two sporty specialty cars are in the works, and this week three jazzed-up Rebel station wagons will be introduced. Main features: "simulated natural tan leather" side trim for Midwest and Southwest markets, "black camera grain" in the East, and "bleached teakwood" on the West Coast and in Florida...

It has the same chrome trim and many, though not all, of the improvements built into the current 1300 and 1500 models, such as wide-track wheels and automatic choke. But the new car resurrects the pony 41-h.p. engine which VW dropped in 1965. It will hit 70 m.p.h., as against 78 m.p.h. for the 53-h.p. 1500, will cost a bare $1,121, compared with...
