Ford prompts smaller price rise than GM for 1977 cars
Ford Motor Co says 1977 price increases will be less than GM's average 5.9 percent hike. Chairman Henry Ford II would not specify the exact average, calling it "more than one percent" below GM. GM led the market with about 238 dollars per car rise overall. Ford and Chrysler previously signaled near six percent, while Ford notes steel price rollbacks after GM's move influenced its timing.
