Three Cars In Every Garage Foretold By Chrysler Leader
Ashington Chrysler Corp President Lester L. Colbert told 3,500 U S Chamber of Commerce members that by 1975 many families may own three or more cars, with one car families in the minority he predicted. He urged rapid automation to meet a rising population and growing goods demand. He asserted the economy could weather ups and downs with confidence and continued investment, noting 1955 could be a strong auto year. Johnston backed the outlook, saying living standards could double by 1965 if effort focused, and urged reducing government welfare state policy and keeping government hands off business and workers.
