"Sales of General Motors lux- ury cars were very strong in Ju- ly as well. The introduction of the 1991 Buick Park Avenue last month put sales of this model 32 per cent ahead of July, 1989," he said. "We're really pleased with the sales results recorded by our Passport organization,"' noted Atkinson. 'Passport sold 1,091 vehicles in July. This represents the best month in their three year history." "Our trucks continue to do a great job for us. I'm particularly pleased with the acceptance of our new "people-mover"' the Pon- tiac Trans Sport and the Chevrolet Lumina APV. As well, our compact vans and pickup trucks continue to gain market- share for us," concluded Atkinson. 4 ) Please recycle _ this newspaper, * Somiy® automatic control system + * Besutif fabrics 10 choose from + Custom Design See our glorious array of designer fabrics!
