...single itinerary to see America in 1976 or any year can be drawn; even the barest mention of familiar landmarks and vistas hopelessly cramps the cartographer's art (see map). Planning a family vacation is a matter of infinite negotiations as the head of the household attempts to accommodate everyone's tastes and whims. Naturally he whims some, loses some, in an effort to schedule the Cooperstown baseball shrine, an art gallery, an antique market and a genuine prehistoric dinosaur park and rock garden all in one fractious, febrile day.

Over the next few weeks, Ford, General Motors, Chrysler and American Motors will officially introduce the 1976 models now rolling off their assembly lines. Generally, the new cars will cost more than the '75s and show only the barest styling changes. But Detroit is gambling that its main selling point for '76−improved fuel economy−will bring enough buyers back to the showrooms to end the industry's two-year sales decline. While admitting to some concern that the nation's economy seems...
