Athens residents endure delays in new car deliveries as national and local registrations fall sharply in 1947 from prewar levels. Dealers cite coal steel shortages and labor unrest. four of five report quotas rarely filled and delivery times stretching months. Four-door sedans dominate orders as producers focus output.
