Used Cars Abundant But Limited By War Output
Detroit Feb 2. A large stock of used cars remains available to the public as the wartime shift reduces new car production. Experts warn stocks will not last long, quality may fall, and many owners will delay trips. About 300,000 factory workers will idle temporarily, with full employment expected in six months as armament production rises. Used car prices show little overall change, with tires in good condition fetching slightly higher prices.
