Then Mary zipped back to the house to pack the kids off to school. One year, with a Christmas bonus, John bought a used small car. He could now drive himself to the station and leave the car there. Mary had the sedan to her less harried self all day. Surprisingly, she soon asked John to leave the small car home instead. It was easier to drive and park. More than one in ten of the 35,000,000 car- owning iamiiies in America, for similar rea sons, owns two or more cars. Another grea r ownership in the pst impetus to multiple-ca- r five years has been the huge exodus ofcity dwellers to the suburbs. This has meant millions more persons driving to the station or right to work and much moredepehdence on cars generally, Too, families are giving teen-ag- e children small cars of their own instead of lending them theexpensive family car. And the increase in the number of working wives has also increised the need for two cars in a family. Alrhosralways, the "extra" car is smaller than the family car. iXQzximtizKtQxtt by postwar materials shortages to concentrate more than ever on small cars and by the need of dollars to seek new, outlets, were the first to invade the American market with small cars. Now some 30,000imported small cars are sold each year in;the United States, mostly as "second" cars. Sales of small foreign cars have been held back by such factors as poor design, un familiar shift systems, and mostly lack of adequate service and replacement facilities. Now George Mason, head of Nash Motors Corp., is gambling that Americans are ready for a domestic small car that is luxurious-lookinyet inexpensive to own and operate. Introduced last week, his Metropolitan seats two adults comfortably, has room for two children in back, gets 40 miles or more to the gallon of gas, and can do 72 miles an hour. parts and repairs should be readily available. The auto industry is watching Nash's experiment. If the Metropolitan goes over, you can rest assured that Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors will take the wraps off their small-cprojects, all of them already in the n advanced-plastage. r J M v.r,..A t, ar . i Its Minx popular, Hillman presents its Californlan.
