DETROIT UP)-The rest of the auto industry
watched closely yesterday as Chrysler began an
intensive sales program to clear its backlog of
unsold cars by offering cash rebates on select
models.
The Chrysler plan, offering a $200 rebate on
select Chrysler models and an additional $100 to
buyers who trade in certain competitors' cars,
received glowing praise from Chrysler dealers.
Other automobile dealers watched with attitudes
ranging from skepticism to hope that their auto
companies would offer similar deals.
IRONICALLY, the Chrysler campaign kicked off
one day before the anniversary of the opening of
production in 1914 on Henry Ford's first auto as-
sembly line, which eventually gave the auto in-
dustry the capability of manufacturing more cars
than it can sell.
Falling sales have left the nation's dealers with
a record 100-day stockpile of unsold cars and
trucks and the industry with layoffs near the
300,000 mark. The companies have been largely
unsuccessful in trying to reduce the logjam of un-
sold models by closing plants. Chrysler's backlog
alone is 138 days.
The Chrysler company in Britain, a subsidiary of
the U.S. automaker, went on a three-day work week
yesterday because of a slump in car sales. The
company has a backlog of 30,000 cars waiting to be
sold, more than any other British car manufacturer.
DOMESTIC DEALERS got yet another jolt yes-
terday when final figures on foreign cars were
released, showing imports claimed a record 16
per cent of the American market in 1974.
That is a 20 per cent drop from 1973 import
sales, but because of an even more severe 23
per cent drop in sales of U.S.-made cars, the
imports share of the market was up from 15.5 per
cent in 1973.
Typical of the reaction of dealers to the Chrysler
rebate plan was that of Wally Sekk, general mana-
ger of Snethkamp Chrysler-Plymouth in Detroit.
"WE'RE GETTING a lot of action," Sekk said.
"We wrote five deals before noon yesterday, while
last Monday we only had three sales all day. The
used car men are busy, too."
Tom Byrne, a salesman for Southern Motors in
Philadelphia, said there was "more than casual
interest" in the promotion.
"Of all the campaigns I've seen run over the
past 12 years, this one works," he said. "We're
getting a lot of calls."

NON-CHRYSLER dealers generally are
watching the promotion closely.
"We haven't had any great reaction to it
yet," said Bob Snyder, general sales mana-
ger. of Roy O'Brien Ford in Detroit. "Of,
course it's too soon to know, really.
"We've had a couple of calls on it, to see if
Ford was going to do anything like Chrys-
ler. But I can't say we've sold any cars to-
day because of the Chrysler promotion. We
might get some before it's over, though."
SNYDER SAID he didn't think Chrysler's
offer was enough. "I don't imagine peopleI
are going to be swayed from a product they
like, to get a Chrysler, for a couple hundred
dollars."
Harold Brady, sales manager at Lansing
Chrysler - Plymouth, said "floor traffic" at
his firm had probably increased three times.
"People are very enthusiastic and if traf-i
fic continues at the present pace, it will beI
very successful," he said. "We're getting!
inquiries from AMC and Ford dealers about
how it's going."
JOHN EDMUNDS, sales manager at Max
Curtis Ford in Lansing, said the Chrysler
promotion will help all auto sales and pre-
dicts Ford and GM will follow suit.
"People are shoppers right now and aren't
going to be satisfied going to one dealer. I;
think it will stimulate people to get out look-
ing. If they go to Chrysler, they'll probably
look at Ford and Chevrolet.
"Other car makers will have to get simi-
lar programs."
FOUR CHRYSLER dealers in metropoli-
tan Atlanta report sales were encouraged
with the Duster promotion, among them
Charles Fortado, sales manager for Bob
Maddox Chrysler-Plymouth, who observed
that advance publicity had helped car sales.
"The encouraging thing is the number of
people who were looking last Saturday, prior
to the promotion. I keep alog ., and theret
were 35 people in. Usually there've been only
about 15 on Saturday, and this is certainly a
good sign.
"People come in now and they are at last
talking about buying."

ENGINEERING GRADUATES

Wvtvh ich way to go?
Think about a technical sales
career at Leeds & Northrup
It's tough to make a career decision when there
are so many ways to go. That's why Leeds &
Northrup's recruiter wants to help you think things
through and discuss the unusual opportunity avail-
able to the engineer who goes into technical sales.
If you haven't yet opted for the traditional engi-
neering career, think about sales . . . technical
sales. It's an area where you would be using your
engineering skills to match the product to the
problem and where you would have the chance
to develop your ability to communicate with top-
level executives. You should be able to exhibit a
degree of self confidence that is part of the pat-
tern of a successful sales engineer.
January 20, 1975 is the day our recruiter will be
on your campus. It's the time for talk, not com-
mitment, so if you want to find out what's involved
in this kind of career option, arrange for an inter-
view through your placement officer. If
