“Ford, which hasn’t outsold Chevrolet since 1959, could regain the U.S. automobile sales-lead in 1966. Ford’s victory at the 1965 Indianapolis race, participation in European racing, ventures onto U.S. dragstrips and repeated victories in stock-car competition, and publicity resulting there from, are some of the reasons why Ford may close the gap, 3.1% last year, 7.% in 1964, by which Chevrolet’s sales lead Ford’s.”—Bob Harrison, in last December’s issue of Car Life.
