Some customers have complained
that, when the car they waited for

was loaded down with special equip

etc.-thing they didn't want and all
at high extra price.
Others have complained that they
had to trade in their Old car foi
several hundred dollars less than
they could get for it on the open
market.
Both practices may run afoul OF
the Federal Trade Act If there is an
element of Misrepresentation. In
this regard, Federal Trade Com
mission man said today he thinks ii
is significant that the delivered in
Washington price has practically
disappeared from automobile adver-
tising.
