Ford sees auto boom ahead says Lacocca
Ford's Lacocca predicts a strong recovery in vehicle demand with sales rising from 8.5 million in 1976 to 9 million in 1978 and 11 to 12 million soon after. He argues mass transit won't replace cars this decade and that the industry remains cyclical despite a forthcoming upswing. McDonald adds world vehicle demand will surge by 1980, with 60 percent from outside the U.S. and Canada, while profits are expected to fall in 1975 and some automakers may cut or omit dividends.
