Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Stover,
bridal couple (nee Daureen 0'
Dwyer) late of Halifax, and now
"Muscle cars", advertised and
sold largely to . young drivers,
may account for 600,000 sales a
year in the U.S., says the
Ontario Safety League.
The Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety, pointing out
that some 12,000 highway
deaths a year take place in
crashes at speeds above 60 mph,
suggests that the manufacture
and advertising of "performance
cars" is irresponsible and
contributes to the pervasiveness
of violence in American life.
