Market commentary

CarterCars friction drive transmission had many attractions to entrepreneurs trying to sell to an unsophisticated, inexperienced market, an attribute that brought an outstanding price from Billy Durants General Motors. Its history must also have appealed to the Hershey bidders who paid a premium price definitely not based on this examples presentation or condition.
