Up on the roof of the Garden, the Mobile Steamer Co. trumped the competition by having former cycling champion Joe McDuffee drive up and down a 200-ft.-long, 53-ft.-high wooden ramp in full view of the city. While a cheap, reliable car for common folk was still a distant dream of Henry Ford, New York's society swells seemed to smile upon the proceedings, their snowy shirt fronts and elegant evening gowns inspiring comparison to the horse show that, ironically, took place at the Garden the following week. The show at the Garden sped up the use of sturdy wood-spoked wheels over spindly wire ones and the use of smooth, multicylinder motors mounted under a hood up front over sputtering, single-cylinder engines mounted underneath the driver's seat. www.popularmechanics.com /automotive/collector_cars/1267181.html?page=3&c=y   (561 words)

Toyota Stages World Premiere of All-New Prius With 'Hybrid Synergy Drive' at 2003 New York Auto Show NEW YORK, April 16 -- The all-new second-generation Toyota Prius electric-gas hybrid vehicle made its world premiere at a press conference today at the 2003 New York Auto Show. A major difference between the new Hybrid Synergy Drive concept, and how it is improved over the current THS system centers on the duration of electric-mode driving and the peak power delivered electrically. The new by-wire shift control allows Prius to replace the traditional gearshift lever mounted on the floor or the steering column with tap-of-the-finger shifting of a small joystick mounted on the dash. www.theautochannel.com /news/2003/04/16/159508.html   (1117 words)

New York Auto Show New York may be the cultural capital of the United States, but the city's taste-making agencies have no effect on the country's most important cultural by-product - the car. CBS television news recently conducted a test of the car's popularity with New Yorkers, parking a bright yellow bug in Times Square between a $750,000 Ferrari and a vintage Mustang convertible; both its desirable neighbours were ignored.
