In 1980. /or example, the United Staton produced ito 175 tnillMhth automobile, with 5,391.243 paaaenffer car*. valued at more than >lO million, produced in lliat one year. The year 1916 waa the find in which more than 1 million cars wan produced, and the year 191" the first in which the value exceeded fl million. Only during the year* of World War 11 did the number of new cars fall below 1 million; 1955 was the bv.*t year, with nearly 8 million cars produced. Imports of foreign automobiles has risen from 258 in 1940 to 668,070 last year. Last year Great Britain led all other countries in exports to the US. of passenger cars. In the past few years the types of passenger care have changed radically. In 1940, two-thirds of the care produced were 2-door sedans, with 4-door sedans accounting for most of the rest. By 1959 4-door sedans were the most -sought cars, while station wagons had increased in popularity from less than 1% to 16%. equaling the popularity of the twodoor sedans. Hardtops, unheard of 20 years ago, now sold 26%, and convertibles were up to 5% of the total, I out of every 20. The average of a passenger car in the United States is 5.7 years, the same as it was in 1937. Because <»1 the second world war, the average age shot up to 9 years m 1946, but has slowly dropped since that time. In 1958, 30% of the radios manufactured were for use in automobiles. Replacement part sales amounted to $22 billion in 1959. School buses formed 90', of bus sales in 1959. Os the cars on the road in 7959. 76'. have radios, 51% have automatic transmissions, 16% have power steering and power brakes, 5% have power seats, 4'< power windows, 2% safety belts, and 4% air conditioning. The United States produced 49% of all the cars made in the world in 1958, and West Germany, the United Kingdom and France exported more motor vehicles than we did. Motor vehicle registration in the United States.has risen from four in 1896 to more than 70 million last year. 0 There are 112 million vehicles registered in the entire world. In fact, 66% of the world’s passenger cars are in the United States, although the United States has only 5.9% of the land area, and 6.4% of the people. So look out when you cross the street—there are a lot of automobiles around! a, ’ : - ■ - * - — ...... ii .... ■

In order to qualify for the credit, you or your deceased spouse must hae earned an income, not counting pension or annuities, of at least S6OO in any 10 previous years. The credit is applicable only to the first $1,200 of retirement ipcome included in gross income. Tax exempt income is not included in gross Income. Your retirement would be interest, gross rents, taxable dividends and taxable pensions and annuities. If you are under 65 years of age. any income from personal services in excess of S9OO or if you are between 65 and 72 years old any income from personal service in excess of $1,200 . flMki reduce your retirement in»ie for the purpose of computing the credit.
