FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1989
1988 Scarborough-Jewish
News Study
T
he 1989 Ford Thunder-
bird was named the
Motor Trend maga-
zine's Car of the Year recent-
ly at a press luncheon at the
North American Interna-
tional Auto Show at Cobo
Hall. Ford Motor Co. has
driven away with this award
three times in the last four
years. The Thunderbird won
in 1987 and the Taurus in
1986.
For the last 20 years Motor
Trend magazine has an-
nounced the winner in Los
Angeles. According to Robert
E. Brown, senior vice presi-
dent for corporate develop-
ment, Petersen Publishing
Co., publisher of Motor Trend
magazine, "This year we
thought it would be ap-
propriate to salute Detroit as
the automobile capital of the
world and the Detroit Auto
Dealers Association for stag-
ing the first truly interna-
tional auto show ever held in
Detroit."
The supercharged Thunder-
bird has a 215 horsepower, 3.8
liter V-6 engine with a new
1989 aerodynamic styling.
"The new aerodynamic look
and exceptional ride and
handling characteristics set it
apart from the crowd," said
Thomas J. Wagner, Ford vice
president and Ford division
general manager.
The Thunderbird beat out
contenders from Chrysler in-
cluding the Dodge Spirit and
Plymouth Acclaim and Ford's
own Mercury Cougar. The
candidates are limited to cars
designed and built in the
United States. Cars are judg-
ed on performance character-
istics such as acceleration,
braking and handling. Every
car is driven over a com-
prehensive course of public
roads. All the tests are
tabulated and certified by the
accountant group Arthur
Young and Co. Motor Trend
magazine will announce the
winner in their February
issue, and in April they will
announce the winner of the
Import Car of the Year.
"We at Motor Trend feel
that the domestic industry
has improved greatly in re-
cent years in design,
technology and quality of the
cars it produces," Brown said.
Peugeot
Sets Record
The Peugeot 405 Turbo 16
rally car, which set an all-
time record at the Pikes Peak
Auto Hill Climb in Colorado
Springs this summer, will be
on display at the North
American International Auto
Show.
Visitors to the Peugeot
display can relive the Pikes
Peak victory through a live
multi-media show which
features breathtaking film
footage of the 405 Turbo 16
scaling the snow-covered,
14,110-foot mountain.
The 520-horsepower double-
overhead-cam engine in the
405 Turbo 16 rally car served
as a model for the 16-valve
powerplant in the new
Peugeot 405 Mi 16, which
also will be on display.
The Pikes Peak Auto Hill
Climb, established in 1916, is
America's second oldest
motorsports challenge after
the Indy 500, won by a
16-valve . Peugeot in 1913,
1916 and 1919.
The Peugeot 405 Turbo 16
rally car has enjoyed victories
worldwide,
