1/ Figures are predominately for late modal used cars but include data from
a few banks for all used cars.
NOTE: Distributions are based on tabulations of data from 135 banks for
May and June and are not intended to be estimates for all commercial banks. In
June reports covered about 38,000 contracts on new cars, 26,000 purchased and
12,000 direct, and 20,.000 contracts on used cars, 14,000 purchased and 6 000
direct. Since composition of the group of banks changes from month to month
data are not comparable with previous releases.
For distribution according to maturities and contract balance as a percentage of dealer cost, see following pages.
