Ceiling Price Restored
On Two Used Autos
•y lha Associated Prass
Dollars-and-cents ceiling prices
were restored yesterday on used
Chevrolet suburban and GMC sub
urban model autos at the same
level which prevailed up to July 31.
On the latter date, OPS re
moved the dollar ceilings, leaving
the used models subject to the
“freeze” type ceilings by which
trucks are priced. This froze each
seller’s price at the figure he was
charging on January 26,1951, and
created a variety of selling prices.
