This represented the fourth consecutive record breaking month for GM trucks, Mr. Duffy stated, providing factu- al evidence of the solid base of the automotive market. "Both the car and truck markets are running at very strong levels," Mr. Duffy said. "Current model year sales are running 11.8 per cent ahead of the 1974 record year for cars and 26.9 per cent above the 1974 model year record for trucks. We fully expect to continue this kind of perfor- mance in the summer months ahead.
