RED POPULAR COLOR Asked about favorite colors, he said that red was always the most sought-after color, with dark maroon, deep turquoise and white following closely behind. The eight-cylinder motor was making a comeback, according to this manager. He said that “people are less worried about gas mileage than performance.” He said that a small V-8 en- gine had been brought out re- cently by the manufacturers which was especially designed for compacts, and had been in- stalled in this year’s Fairlane model. Women drivers’ prefer the automatic gear shift, he said. At least 60 per cent of the cars sold had this shift. When it came to the choosing of a family car, iMr. Kniepkamp said that the woman usually had the say about the color of the vehicle and the upholstery, and was the one 'who took notice of the fancier models with up-to-date inlerior appointments. On the other ‘hand, it was the men who were more practical and looked un- ad- sy as she ponders over d cars have reached an all-time high this year, Impaired brings fine William Iryant Clark, of 416 Green Street was Mned $125 and costs for having care and con- trol of a motor vehicle while impaired.

BUS IN DEMAND Also in demand was the nine- seater bus, which could be used for camping trips. Another novel feature re- contly introduced by Ford, the manager said, were the “bucket seats” with the console (second glove compartment) between them. This type of seat put a he said. A chart on the window of the Bob Parker garage on McBride Street shows pictures of 99- proud owners standing beside’ their newly-purchased vehicles, The 100th purchaser, Mr. Kniepkamp said, would receive a bonus along with his vehicle, as would: the 117th buyer. as he would be the last one pictured on the board. Arthur Murray, sales manager at Rupert Motors Liimted, said that, although their stock of used cars. was low, this was the best year for. new unit sales since 1956. There were also more POLICE SQT, CHARLES TEARRES Philndelphin Geumater factions elushed at a loen) hondquarters, Polles vont 7 cara to quell the “straight” sales without trade- ins he said. Mr. Murray com- mented that, strangely enough, even though standard models are by far the cheapest, they doen't sell nearly as readily as “lIpaded” cars—meaning — those wilh fancy accessories, orna- ments and chrome fixtures. COMPACTS SELLING Mr. Murray said that his firm had also noted the trend to- wards compacts this year, with their popular variation in size. He said that the four-door se- dan was the biggest seller with them, and safety belts and safe- ty locEs were advucated. A new feature brought out by Chrysler for all) their models Was a “vacuum tock’ for the buck doors, which could be oper- ated only from a button on the dishboard, Mr. Murray said thal con- vertible sales were stow, ant never ever had been very brisk “sports car flair in a family car,” | ‘Pairlane, Monterey. Meteor and He said that “style. not price” was now the popular trend. By far the biggest seller gt his garage was the Chevrolet 1], with the four-door sedan taking priority over: all. the other mod. els. This car, he. sald, was the “satisfying family car—with ad- equate seating and higgzage space for comfortable travell- ing’. Their quota for the year was nearly sold out, he said, and they only had five left In stock. In the purchase of a family car, Mr. McChesney colahora:- ed. the other managers’ opinions that the woman played a hip part in the final choice. He said they usually had the last say on the upholstery and color of the car and favored beige and white. They also pre- ferred the automatic transmis- sion, as all they had to do, one woman customer said, was to “press a button, sit back and steer,” Again it was the same slory, how the practical-minded man investigated under the hood’ and kicked the tires, while the wile admired the interior features and extras. Mr. McChesney quoted from the Financial Post the spectac- ular rise in the sale of Pontias cars in Canadian auto produc- tions. For the whole of 191, 44,818 of these models were made, whereas so far in 1962. 66,195 cars had been manufaec- tured. Another car put out by Gen- eral Motors, the Chevrolet had jumped from 52,028 in 1961 to 69,260 so far in 1962. Other GM products were: Oldsmobile, 4.110 were manufactured last year, and 7,009 this year; and Buick. 3,859 last year and 5,027 su lar this year, In the Ford line, there had been 60,238 cars manufactured for the whole of 1961, with 76480 made to dute this year. The number of Comet, Falcon and Gulaxie had grown, whereas Uie Monarch had decreased. In the Chrysler line, there were 28,685 Valiants, Chirysters, Dodges und Plymouths sold. this here, due to weather conditions. He thought the trend was lo. nyehter colors, white, Hglit phue, | and white wine, and there was | no difference in the six ur eight cylinder choice -—- they were equally popular, The company had- brought out smaller Buicks and Olds- Inebiles, which proved satisfac- tory. Also selhng well ‘were Volkeswagon buses, mostly for business and camping usage. The automatic cars far out- sold the standard transmissioned cars, he said, with the man avuin interested in the mechan- ical features of the vehicle and the woman interested in the looks: and comforts for family travelling. NEW FEATURES Mr. Murray said that the new 1963 inodels, due in late Sep- tember or carly October, wauid avain feature more variations and comforts for the travelling public, William MeChesney, sales manager for McRae Motors Lin- ited and McRae Bros, Limited, said that sales so far this year had been “real good” with the last four months “extremely good,’ especially in new car sales. Mr. McChesney said that the public was favoring morg and more the “deluge” automobile, nnd was not. as “price conscious” pas it had been In former years. Hate a wieked.looking array of 4 year so far. In the 12 nronths last year, there had been 27,101 models manufactured, PRODUCTION INCREASED In the Studebaker - Paekar line, “4.7138 models were manu: factured this year, as compared to 3,293 last year. ’ In 196], the American Raumn- bler produced 4,004 cars, and this year, 12,905. This made a grand total al 266,054 cars manufactured in Canada this year so far, and 200,051 for 1961. In the truck line, General Motors manufactured 19,051 trucks last year, 24,451 this year, Ford had 11,033 last year, wilh 15,497 this year; Chrysler had 4,263 last year, and 3,199 this year; and International had 7,260 last year and 6,552) this year, This made a total of 4),b07 trucks manufactured Jast year and 46,699 this year. The grand total fur cars and trucks manufactured in 1961 a Canada was 241,658; med so far this year, 315,753 have been made, So it would seem that Prince Rupert has joined the general Canadian consensus that > che most convenient, cheapest, man comfortable and enjoyable wily to travel is by car—-be it truck, sedan, camper, bus or converi- ible, In any one of thea numeruds models and makes available to the travelling public today. fevemmist navtpene themmamteeue ces meet rte me aa ' yo awed-olt bata conftiseated after TNH Photo.
