Gordon Wilkins covers the world of American motoring.

America has the world's biggest car factories and over eight million new customers every year. At the International Motor Show in New York last week, Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors took the covers off their models for 1969 in a party atmosphere of girls and glitter, cocktails and champagne.
What, in fact, will the American motorist choose to buy at this Easter Parade of new sports cars and sedans? Will the trend In favour of the small European car go on? Will the glossy monsters from Detroit continue to lose customers to Germany and Japan -and to Britain with a new BMC 1300 and a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow restyled for the transatlantic market?
