Car Builders Follow Custom
OF Withholding New Prices

DETROIT, Aug. % (P.-The car
manufacturers have been told how
to determine the prices of their
first postwar passenger automobiles,
but they probably will not announce
them for several weeks.
For competitive reasons the man
ufacturers always have withheld
price announcements until the
initial public showing of their new
models. The Ford Motor Co., first
to get into new model production,
has indicated its intention to fol-
low this custom, adding that initial
public showing of its new cars now
is planned for the latter part of
September.
Few If any of the other volume
producers Of the industry can have
their new models ready for public
showing before that time.
