Wood, which the Finns call "green gold," is used exuberantly in the playful trusses in the roof and with caressing respect in the solid red pine furniture specially designed by Aalto for the interiors. Aalto can also be intensely practical, as he is in his design for the Lutheran Church at Vuoksenniska, finished earlier this year. Knowing the problems...
Chevy's Ed Cole predicts that the 1960 compact cars will ring up 1,100,000 sales, lead the industry to within a bumper's reach of a 7,000,000-car year, the second biggest (first: 1955) in U.S. history. "A market of this size," says Cole, "should see sales of 300,000 Corvairs, 250,000 Falcons, 150,000 Valiants, 400,000 Studebaker Larks and American Ramblers, not counting bigger Rambler Ambassadors...
