1/Contract balance excludes finance and insurance charges.
* Less than one-tenth of one per cent.
NOTE: Distributions for June and May are derived from reports of 107 banks,
70 of which reported dealer cost ratios as well as maturities. The June maturity
distribution for new cars shown on pages 1 and 2 is based on 42,000 contracts,
28,000 purchased and 14,000 direct.
The cross-classification on this page is based
on 22,000 contracts, 16,000 purchased and 6,000 direct. The data are not intended
to be estimates for all commercial banks and are not comparable with previous
releases since composition of the group of banks changes from month to month*
