Market T 1 ANNOUNCING PAYMENTS TO RAMBLER BUYERS AS RAMBLER’S SALES VOLUME INCREASE Why You Should Join Rambler’s New Crusade For Adequate Progress Sharing With Customers I believe participation by all consumers in economic progress Is absolutely necessary In meeting the nation's economic needs." GF.ORGK ROMNEY PresuU'ni, American Motors Corporation Rambler’s rise lo a top position has put us in position to undertake a new cru sade. This program, which could provide greater individual and national benefits than any we’ve yet undertaken, calls for customer progress sharing. As volume goes up, costs come down. So, sharing economies that would result from a 50% Rambler sales gain over last year for the peri od December through March could provide payments to customers of $18,698,062 But, before presenting our new Rambler crusade, let me review some highlights of the iirst one. When we forged our basic Rambler concepts, U.S. cars were in a size, horsepower and styling-change race that cost the car buyer money. So, we developed the compact, economical, modernly engineered Rambler CONSUMER BENEFITS FROM LOWER PRICES Because of low volume, we had to price our first Rambler Americans about equal with Chevrolet and Ford, traditionally “lowest priced ’’ As our output and economies in creased, we shared the resulting eco nomic advantages with Rambler cus tomers. Despite inflation, we kept prices low. We also concentrated on durability and quality. That is why Rambler ex cels in trouble-free operation, as shown by trade surveys made by others. What has this done? It has in creased our sales—made us a vigorous new competitive factor, compelling all competitors to introduce compact cars. Their compact cars unquestionably are better buys than their big cars, be cause their big cars don’t have the compacts' advanced enginpering. Despite these moves to meet Ram bler competition, Rambler American models are now priced not only below competitive big cars but below their economy compacts as well. In addition, Ramblers provide cus tomers several exclusive trouble-free engineering advances such as the acid- proof, rustproof Ceramic-Armored muffler and tailpipe. The Rambler line includes three basic sizes of compact cars -Ramblei American, Rambler Classic and Am bassador, the latter two developed after the original American series RAMBLER SALES SOAR In two years, Rambler's per cent of market has more than doubled. I or the last 38 straight months, Rambler sales have established a new record for that month. We want lo continue this growth by serving you even better. THE NEW RAMBLER CRUSADE Our new Rambler crusade, like our compact crusade, is based on sharing Rambler progress with car buyers We believe the new Rambler crusade has timely significance. Our country currently is experiencing a mild eco nomic slowdown—with rising foreign competition and weakness of the dollar. Our larger competitors are considering partial manufacture and importation of cars for the U.S. market from abroad. There is a general profit squeeze. We believe the greatest single eco nomic cause is that relatively too much of the fruit of industrial effort has been going to a few well organized economic groups, not to the consumer. CUSTOMERS TO SHARE RAMBLER PROGRESS We decided there was something we could do. We decided to share future progress with ALL customers who take HOW PAYMINTS TO BUYERS WILL BE DETERMINED IN AMERICAN MOTORS' CUSTOMER PROGRESS SHARING PROGRAA BUYERS RECEIVE BOND PAYMENT SALES LEVELS IF SALES US SAVINGS ARE UP BONDS DECEMBER JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH ov«f last y«M (Maturity Valua) (Dm. utat) (One Ian total) (Oac Jan feb total) (4 inontb total) 50% $125 45,247 97,671 140,139 195,946 40% $100 42,231 91,159 130,796 182,883 30% $ 75 39,214 84,648 121,453 169 820 20% $ 50 36,19S 78,136 112,111 156,757 10% $ 25 33,181 71,625 102,768 143,694 MIES 101 HUE PEII01 till TUI 30,165 65,114 93,426 130,631 NOTK: tn alt suses, "Ut I ZS(.V) mru/i, a person who in itially lukei Jehverv, mil phnes an ■>rder WHY IT Will PAY YOU TO BUY NOW Ihiv unique program is cumulative amt retro active. I arly buyers can gel more, bul never less bonds, than buyers in succeeding months. Your Humbler dealer will be happy lo give you the complete details of the plan but here is a quick example of how it works and keeps on working for you II December Rambler deliveries increase 20% over last December, December buyers of new Ramblers or Metropolitans will receive S50 bonds As the lour month period progresses, additional bonds will he mailed to the December buyers each time the cumulative sales reach a higher bond payment sales level. Also, il sales increase lor the four-month period exceeds Mr,, proportionate additional payments will he made to all buyers during any of the four-months delivery of a new Rambler or new Metropolitan between December I, I960, and March 31, 1961, from an authorized Rambler dealer (excluding governmental sales), giving them most of the benefit of additional cost reduc tion resulting from further increases in Rambler sales volume. This can mean a sharing with Ram- bier buyers during the 4-month period of government savings bonds (Series K) with a maturity value from $3,679,850 (10% sales increase), to $24,930,750 (50% increase). See chart for details. -4 BOTH CUSTOMERS AND AMERICAN MOTORS GAIN You have everything to gain and noth ing to lose by joining this crusade. The same is true for us. 3 ou can’t lose because Ramblers are bitter than big cars and the best of the compacts. Ramblers are more trouble- free, more useful, lower priced. You make your regular deal in the regular way for a new Rambler. You then may share proportionately in the economies .tod profits of higher Rambler volume in December, 1960, and the first three months of 1961. We gain hy acquiring more Rambler owners, which will make our growing market even larger in the future. That’s because Rambler owners become Rambler salesmen and are the most loyal "repeat buyers” of any make Ask your neighbor all about his Rambler, then join the Rambler crusade. Join us in focusing the nation's atten- tion on the essentiality of equitably sharing economic progress with ALi consumers if the WHOLE NATION is to pros|M r. Monkeys are caught by tilling a coconut shell with chopped coconut meat. 1 he monkeys grasp a fistful and, unwilling to let any go, cannot withdraw their paws. So, they are easy victims. The U.S. consumer is not yet as scrawny as shown, bul unless there is a more equitable division of the productivity increases, he will get that way. One of the three American groups must let go and vet an example—or all will be captured and. al^ng with the consumer, all will suffer F.S. Some may say one company can’t do much about national probi lems as big and complex as those cited above. Well, that’s what skeptics said about Rambler's Iirst crusade, let's remember, every great thing is born small. If this nevy Rambler crusade is right, it can succeed and spread, just as the compact car concept did Mr. Romney’s recent Sew York Press Con ference on “Customer Sharing and the N» lion’s Economy'' attracted nationVide notice For complete text of his statements, write American Motors, Box 29, Detroit il.
