...intermediate models. At a press preview of its 1962s last week, the Chrysler Corp. revealed an approach all its own. Instead of bringing out an entirely new intermediate line, Chrysler has simply reduced the size of its Plymouths and Dodge Darts by two inches in width and 7½ inches in overall length. Ford has already brought out its intermediate entry-the Fairlane-which is approximately the size of standard sedans of a decade ago.

Oldsmobile, which last week introduced its F85 (TIME, Aug. 8), first of the General Motors luxury compacts, has also cut the size of its standard cars by as much as 51 in. in length and 3½ in. in width...
