Presi dent George Romney, admitting his firm barely survived its years of readjustment to compact and small cars, this week gleefully needled the "big three” and said they will now have the same tor tuous change to meet the new market. Foreign car imports, laughed at “by the heads of the big U S. firms only some 18 months ago as fads, will top 200.000 in sales this year and may go to 300.000— or near 6 per cent of the market next year. Ward’s said. May Buy Plant Chrysler Corp, is expected to announce in the first half of 1958 plans to either buy a foreign car plant or build a plant abroad to sell small economy cars both in the U. S. and world markets. Most of these signs point to the direction indicated by the Chrysler official, who said the foreign "bugs’' probably will not capture the mass market blit will force U. S. firms to bring out a domestic built economy model. He said this will be an entirely new price class, below the lowest priced lines of the low priced three. This so-called low priced three no longer sells a car below $2,000.
