In addition, the company is offering a $100 bounty to customers who trade in certain cars made by its competitors. This week, for example, a motorist trading in a used Chevrolet Vega or Ford Pinto for a new Swinger would get a $300 check from Chrysler, regardless of what kind of markdown he was able to get from the dealer on the car's basic sticker price of $3,518.

Alfredo has also impregnated the daughter of some big back-country honcho (Emilio Fernandez), who happens to be the fellow looking to have him done in.

...bring out new small cars. Next year, a long-awaited small Cadillac will be introduced. It will be two feet shorter than a full-size Caddy, but will carry the same $10,000 price tag as an Eldorado coupe. In 1975, Chevrolet will also roll out a rotary-powered Vega with a claim that it has overcome many of the fuel-economy problems suffered by Mazda...
