You may not realize it -- but you're tting a preview of the
1970 Shevrolets and Pontiacs -. These parts now being unloaded off
massive freight cars at th ington General Motors parts will be fomed
into sparkling new sedans, hardtops and station wagons within a week.
Plant manager S. W. Roche says the new models will rool of
At Ford-Dallas first model Aug.18
the assembly line starting next Tuesday./ The plant began a massive callback
of workers Monday to get things ready for the first new model and the
production callback will continue throughout the month. The plant employs
about 4100 persons.
Although from this you can't tell much about what the new cars
will look like --- it's almost a sure thing they will cost more. Sources
within the industry say a price increase of $100 to $150 is inevetible
because of rising costs.
