From Times Staff and Wire Reports
November Car, Truck Sales Rise 5.1%: Detroit’s Big Three auto makers reported the increase as customers snapped up new models as fast as companies could make them. General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. said they sold 881,076 vehicles in November, up from 837,714 a year ago. Their domestic car sales were up 0.6% to 435,940, and domestic truck sales rose 10.8% to 432,227. Dealers said sales could have been higher if there were more ample supplies of new models, such as GM’s Chevrolet Blazer and Cavalier and Chrysler’s Cirrus sedan.
