Do-mestic auto sales
way up in October
DETROIT (A)-U.S. auto mak-
ers posted their best sales per-
formance in 17 months during
October as deliveries rose 23
per cent from the recession
levels of a year ago, the com-
panies reported yesterday.
The healthy gain over October
1974 helped the domestic com-
panies offset the recent invasion
by fuel-efficient imports-held
to their smallest monthly share
of the American new-car market
in two years.
SALES OF imports were off
an estimated 10 per cent from
October 1974, their firstayear-
to-year decline since January
and dropping their share of the
market to :about 13 per cent,
compared with 17 per cent a
year ago and a record 20 per
cent through the first nine
months of this year.
Foreign makers blamed the
sales slide on a shortage of 1975
models at a time when 1976
shipments have just begun to
arrive here. But they also con-
ceded that sales have suffered
from increased competition in
the small-car market from the
domestic companies.
Toyota overtook Volkswagen
in calendar-year sales at the end
k of October, ending VW's 20-year
reign as the king of imports.
M Toyota outsold VW by nearly
8,000 cars last month, and for
the calendar year holds a 5,000-
unit sales edge.
ALL FOUR U.S. makers re-
ported gains from a year ago,
when a souring economy and
record new-car price increases
sent sales falling to their poorest

October levels in a :ecade.
General Motors sales were up
27 per cent, Ford 21 per cent,
Chrysler 7 per cent and Ameri-
can Motors 55 per cent.
Domestic sales of 773,623 in
October, traditionally one of the
best selling months for the in-
dustry, rose from 627,521 in
October 1974 and were u, 20
per cent from this past Septem-
ber.
THE DAILY selling rate was
the highest since May 1974, and
the rise from October 1974 mark-
ed the first time in more than
two years that sales were above
the year-earlier month.
Analysts said the results were
farther evidence of the indus-
try's gradual recovery from its
worst slump, in 40 years. But
they noted that the sharp sales
gain was more a reflection of
poor sales last year than of
current strength.
The monthly tempo still was
off 20 per cent from the October
record set in 1971 and down 10
per cent from October 1973,
when sales first began to slide
as a result of the Mideast oil
embargo.
"OCTOBER was a good solid
month, the best in a long time,"
said Ford Vice President Ben-
nett Bidwell, who credited the
improvement to continued eco-
nomic recovery and the drop in
the import share.
Despite the recent sales gains
and company predictions of fur
ther improvement in the future,
the U.S. companies continue to
shut assembly plants for tem-
porary periods and are planning
cautious production schedules
for the remainder of the year.
Ford, Chrysler and AMC each
has halted auto output for vary-
ing periods in the past month,
and current industry production
plans call for the lowest output
for .a nonstrike November in 15
years.
Analysts say the low produc-
tion schedules indicate auto
executives are not as confident
about the strength of the mar-
ket as their public forecasts
would suggest.
