sedan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'american style car' is the definition.
'sedan' can be an answer for 'car' (sedan is a kind of car). I am not certain of the 'american style' bit.

'made by danes' is the wordplay.
'made by' is an anagram indicator (another word made by the same letters).
'danes' with letters rearranged gives 'SEDAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sedan that I've seen before include "Old carrier chair for Danes" , "outmoded form of transport" , "American car" , "Chair used as transport" , "Once a mobile chair for Danes" .)
