Ward's Automotive Reports Predict 1960 Bonanza for Rambler and Lark
Ward's Automotive Reports says Rambler and Lark will continue a sales boom through 1960 as the Big Three lag behind the Little Two in the new small car craze. A looming 1959 steel strike raises concerns about wage talks and a possible industry-wide shutdown. The United Steelworkers push for higher wages while management warns against price hikes. If a strike halts production, blame will fall on both sides.
