I was watching one of the British car shows and I forgot which of the many guys it was, but they were talking of how in the early 1950s Brittan was still devastated from the war, and all the cars were tiny and inexpensive as possible. He came with his dad to America for some business and sight seeing. He said he was completely astonished at the size of American cars. He said if someone would have told him about them he would never believe it.
The people that picked them up at the Airport had a new Cadillac Coupe de Ville and he figured they had to be royalty as he had no concept of American politics. He said just riding around he though America was the richest place ever. He did not see one small car at all.
