Friday, March 14, 1975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Friday, March 14, 1975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three March auto industry sales plummet to fourteen-year low i ISRAEL ALIYAMOBILE INFORMATION ABOUT ISRAEL PROGRAMS (Long and Short Term) DETROIT (A) - Sharp de- clines in sales at Ford Motor Co. and American Motors offset gains by General Motors and Chrysler, sending auto indus- '' try sales in early March to a 14-year low. Sales for the March 1-10 per- iod the first since most cash rebate plans ended, were off 3.4 per cent from the depressed year - ago levels. EVEN SO, analysts said the industry's performance in theI latest period was not as weak as had been forecast. Many ana- lysts had expected a sharp drop in deliveriesafter the rebate program ended. GM said yesterday that sales in the period were up nearly 23I per cent over its sorely depres- sed levels of a year ago, and Chrysler reported a modest im- provement of six-tenths of one per cent. But Ford sales plummeted 35 " ' " , per cent from the year before AP Photo to their worst levels for the per- iod in at least 11 years, and AMC sales were down 21.7 per cent. SALES for the period were 139,616, compared with 144,465 a year ago. Sales so far this calendar year are 1,138,025,1 down 10 per cent from 1,262,572 last year. Analysts said the selling rate inearly March was down 40 per cent from the end of Feb- ruary. They said this was simi- lar to the figures over the past five years, indicating that there was no significant post-rebate lull. Sales normally strengthen! toward the end of a month as dealers bargain harder to meet their bills. Sales a year ago had been the lowest for an early March since 1961 as a result of fuel short- ages which discouraged con- sumers from buying large cars. MEANWHILE, in Washington,; a General Motors official told reporters at a meeting on en- ergy issues his company plan- ned to improve its "sales- weighted" gasoline mileage, a figure based on sales and fuel economy, from 12.2 miles per1 gallon in 1974 models to about 19 miles per gallon by 1980. Fred Bowditch, executive as- sistant to the GM vice presi- dent for environmental affairs, said GM would trim the size and weight of all of its models, would make their equipment' more efficient, and would sacsi- fice some performance for bet-C ter fuel economy. The latest sales figures were about what analysts had pre- dicted, except at AMC. Although the nation's No. 4 auto maker had a strong per- iod last year because of its em- phasis on small cars, analysts had predicted AMC would do as well or better this time because of its new model Pacer, which went on sale March .1. The ana- lysts said the Pacer would give AMC a stronger lineup.j O 0 0 INFORMATION ABOUT WAYS TO MAKE ALIYAH* PERSONAL INTERVIEWS SLIDES AND FILMS OF ISRAEL ISRAELI MUSIC REFRESHMENTS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18 MICHIGAN LEAGUE- 10:00-4:00 Conference Room D - Third Floor (take elevator) In the FISHBOWL -,10:00 - 4:00 at HILLEL -6:00 10:00 P.M. * Kibbutz University Programs Archeoloaical Diois Woofto l i Fighting contiuies Cambodian firemen end streams of water toward a burning ammunition dump at Penh airport yesterday after a Khmer Rouge rocket hit the dump, setting off No casualties were reported but the American airlift of ammunition, food and suspended.
