l/ Figures are predominately for late model used cars but include data from
a few banks for all used cars.
NOTE; Distributions are based on tabulations of data from 136 banks, for
March and April and are not intended to be estimates for all commercial banks.
In April reports covered about 39,000 contracts on new cars 26,000 purchased
and 13,000 direct, and 21#000 contracts on used cars, 15,000 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.
