Ford Hikes Prices for 1969 Models in 46 Percent Jump
Ford Motor Company announced a 46 percent average price increase for its 1969 models, aligning with General Motors and outpacing Chrysler. The rise reflects higher labor costs and increased prices for steel aluminum and copper, with Ford noting the tax and handling charges will push showroom prices up to about 50 dollars more. Chrysler will study Ford’s list before finalizing its own hike. American Motors had not yet announced 1969 prices.
