The Corry Evening Journal notes automotive industry expectations for 1951 despite price controls and material restrictions. It projects U.S. passenger car production near 54 million, below 1950's 66.5 million and 1949's 61.0 million, with May to June output around 2.63 million in five months and July–September near 1.3 million, tailing off to under 980,000 in Q4.
The expected easing of output stems from a national production order limiting steel use to 65 percent of January 1960 levels. Copper and aluminum cuts are steeper. An NPA quota plan is anticipated.

Down payments of one third and 15 month terms constrain buyers, fueling dealer calls for an 18 month minimum payout. In Canada, cars cost more, with buyers required to pay half upfront.
