...felt the necessity of locking the doors," he says, "and I doubt that I'm going to change my ways in the future. Another thing they recommend is that you hold the steering wheel at 'ten and two o'clock'. Well, the spokes on my Rambler's wheel are at 'four and eight o'clock', and it's going to be hard not to catch them right there-for normal driving, at least...
...directed to hit a small object, the small object can be hurt." U.S. compact-car makers, who have long resented being lumped with foreign-made economy cars in statistical surveys, discreetly pointed out that the only U.S.-made compacts involved in the Connecticut tests (two Falcons and a Rambler) had emerged in comparatively good condition-but naturally, these nondramatic collisions did not make for dramatic photographs...
...shops for a second car -that Ford's competitors have no intention of leaving it to Lee Iacocca. Chrysler has already introduced a Valiant with a convex rear roofline-called a fastback in Detroit-and named it the Barracuda. American Motors is making a fastback version of its Rambler Classic, will bring it out next spring.

Its Chevrolet Corvette is too expensive to compete with...

King rises at 6:30 a.m. and goes to his study for 45 minutes of reading. Then he has fruit juice and coffee for breakfast, and at 9 o'clock drives to his office in one of his two cars (a 1960 Ford and a 1963 Rambler). There he goes to work in a 16-ft.-square room filled with perhaps 200 volumes on Negro and religious subjects; he checks his mail (about 70 letters a day), writes his speeches and sermons, confers with aides and, by telephone, with civil rights leaders around the country. He usually eats...
