Original Toronto Star caption: Huge shipment of Volkswagens reached Toronto harbor yesterday and cars could be the last from Germany to be sold at current prices. West Germany Monday decided to allow the mark to float in value in comparison with the U.S. dollar. The action could mean higher prices for many European goods sold in Canada.
