GM says 1968 GM cars can meet most safety standards
GM announced it can meet 10 proposed government safety standards for 1968 models with minor modifications and could meet portions of two more. Five standards cannot be incorporated next year, needing more engineering knowledge. A six page letter and 172 page report were sent to Dr. William Haddon Jr., head of the National Traffic Safety Agency, amid federal standard proposals. Executives from Ford, Chrysler and AMC criticized proposals. Ford warned shutdowns may be needed to meet all rules. The agency plans formal comments by Jan. 3. Carson City, Nevada, is noted as the smallest capital city.
