From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Car Production Drops: After three straight years of record production, Japan’s car assembly lines were reined in last year by a slow economy, weak demand at home and sagging exports. Japan’s domestic vehicle output in calendar 1991 dropped 1.8% from the 1990 record to 13,245,432, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Assn. said. Sluggish domestic demand because of a stagnant economy was the main factor dragging down car output.
