Ford Motor Company will unveil the Maverick Monday in Carefree Arizona, a two door four passenger sedan priced at 1995 dollars. It aims to counter imported economy cars like Volkswagen as U.S. automakers push small cars amid a 1968 market where imports surpassed 10 percent. Ford also plans a smaller Phoenix model in 1970 at about 1799 dollars with similar length, targeting roughly 27 mpg for the VW and 22 mpg for the Maverick.
