Appliance Credit Controls Stir Dealer Reactions in Amarillo
Don F McMillian of Amarillo says the Ford dealership will stay at its current location until about January 1 while the credit control plan affects appliance and auto sales. Dealers report mixed prospects with refrigerators priced at 300 versus cars around 2,000, monthly payments rising from 11 to 16.50, and a third of buyers paying cash. A survey of 30 prospects finds 25% unaffected, 25% willing to pay higher payments, and 50% priced out. The piece also lists charter grants, mortgage down payment tables for veterans and non veterans, and notes price pressures on Big Three models for 1951.
