Overseas Car Firms Eye 1961 U S Import Market
Sales chiefs for foreign automakers expect a rebound in 1961 after a weak 1960 and see the year as a chance to strengthen service, expand dealer networks, and invest in facilities. Volkswagen anticipates about 200,000 registrations, with total imports possibly between 300 000 and 400 000. Overall 1961 imports may dip toward 400 000, as outlets shrink and a 1960 peak fades.
