American Motors* New 1975 Pacer ~ American Motors tShows New Design ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ DETROIT—In a sharp break with traditional car design, American Motors today introduced the Pacer, a wide small car unique in concept and designed to ap peal to a broad range of car buyers. ¥ ¥ Roy D. Chapii., Jr., AMC board chairman, told a North American news preview here that the Pacer development began four years ago with studies on personal mobility that could be anticipated in k, the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. • The objective was “to meld ¥ ¥ ¥ together the specific ingredients of a car that would be in harmony with the en vironment of the coming decade,” Chapin said. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ “Several attempts were made to design such a car, and then one emerged that seemed to fit the objective,” he said. “Subsequently, it was taken before panels of car buyers of widely varying purchase preferences—small car buyers, medium sized buyers, big car buyers—and they were asked for their opinions. They responded and we reacted to their suggestions.” $ Chapin said the Pacer is unlike anything American Motors has introduced in the past, and in many respects, it departs from anything ever offered by other automobile manufacturers. “In a true sense, it is not revolutionary, but its total effect is one of marked dif ference,” he said. “The ex terior is not traditional in its configuration, and its interior has the people space of much larger cars.” The two-door Pacer, with a 100-inch wheelbase, is offered in three versions—a standard model, a sporty “X” and a luxury D-l. model. It has an overall length of 171.5 inches, making it easier to park and maneuver. Powered by an economical, low-profile six-cylinder engine, the Pacer can be fitted with an optional overdrive for even greater fuel economy. The standard powerplant is a 232 cubic inch six, with a 258 cubic inch six available as an option. A 22-gallon fuel tank gives the Pacer a range of more than 500 miles under highway driving conditions. In ad dition, its aerodynamic shape results in a 12 per cent decrease in air resistance, thus providing '«tter fuel economy at highway speeds. ^ Friends Of The Library Review * Mary Todd Lincoln 'Controversial Figure By Mrs. J.J. Stevenson The President’s Wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, by Ishbel Ross. G.P. Putnam’s Sons. One of the most con troversial women in American history was Mary Todd Lin coln. In this readable and scholarly biography Ishbel Ross attempts to separate falsehood from truth and to present an authentic picture of this unusual woman who was so tragically misunderstood. In telling the story of Mary Todd Lincoln, she draws a vivid picture of life in the South in the 1800’s. Mary Todd was born Kentucky into a fair'1’ wealth, culture, prominence and grew up in ».> atmostphere of political ferment, where she had her first contact with anti-slavery feeling. She was an intelligent and well-educated young woman, who took a strong interest in politics. She was a great admirer of Henry Clay, who helped mold her political instincts. Her upbringing was in great contrast to that of the young country lawyer with whom she fell in love. The book tells of her life as a Southern belle and her courtship by Stephen A. Douglas as well as Abe Lin coln. She came to Washington as the President’s wife at a difficult time. Being from a she was of It tells of the days of hard ship and poverty as the wife of young Lincoln. She was an able woman in her own right, and she helped him in his studies as well as in his political development. Hers was a driving ambition and she played no small part in Lincoln’s political activities. would at a different time have been a great success as the President’s wife, but instead of the praise that she ex* pected, she received nothing but criticism from the press and the political enemies of the Lincolns. As First Lady she became embroiled in politics, at tempting to exert her in fluence despite the hostility toward her. She made over the White House, and though her role of hostess was ex traordinary, her ex travagance was legendary. Always unstable, given to outbursts of temper and unreasonable extravagance, the assassination of her husband and the deaths of three of her sons, Eddie, Willie and Tad, left her emotionally shattered. The book deals sym pathetically with the years that followed these tragedies when as a lonely and broken woman she wandered about Europe and became more and more withdrawn. This is the story of an able and ambitious woman, greatly misunderstood and slandered. Written with sympathy and understanding, it should help to establish Mary Todd Lin coln’s true place in history.
