Price Hike Due On New Ford Cars and Trucks
Ford Motor Co plans an average 8 percent price rise on 1975 model cars and trucks, with typical increases of 200 to 800 dollars per vehicle. The move, cited by rising costs and a need to offset expenses, follows Ford's six price hikes in 1974 and mirrors GM, Chrysler, and AMC trends. An 8 percent rise would push the Pinto above 3,000 dollars and the Lincoln Continental above 10,800 at current prices.
