Automakers See Rough Road Ahead in 1974
The U.S. auto industry faced a difficult 1974 as the energy crisis raised demand for smaller cars while overall sales lagged. GM forecasted an 8 to 12 percent drop, with 10 to 10.5 million units including imports, as production cuts hit 15 U.S. plants. Domestic makers posted a 9.3 million output in 1973 amid shifts to align with demand, while imports neared a record 1.7 million amid price, safety, and labor challenges.
