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 Pre-Reoistration $20 Door Reqistration $25 MAIL TO: Institute for Rational Livinq of Michiqan 2512 Carpenter Rd.

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. tsere' ____Classified AT ..4 NEW ADDITION ! 1V" SAVE DOLLARS Win Clothing'" You will not only SAVE DOLLARS on any purchases, but you will also have the oppor- tunity to win a FREE suit, sportcoat, jacket, slacks, sweater, shirts, etc. PICK-A-BALLOON SAVE 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or even 100% HERE IS HOW IT WORKS: make your selection of merchandise, before paying for it, PICK-A-BALLOON.
