Price Not Fixed The present price—$1,055—is no measure at all ofthe worth of this car. Myown idea is that the priceis impossible. It is based on an outputprobably beyond our pow-ers. It is based on a verylow cost for materials —much lower than for is based on ideals of utterefficiency which even thisplant cant reach.
