FTC Rules Chrysler Act Misleading About Fuel Economy
The FTC ruled Chrysler misled the public about fuel economy in ads during 1973 and 1974 comparing Dodge Darts and Plymouth Valiants to Chevrolet Novas. The commission found the ads created a misleading impression that all Chrysler small cars outperformed all Chevrolet models. Chrysler may appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals, saying the ruling misstates facts and blaming inadvertent omissions.
