Whoops..this came up on the other board. Evidently, I was wrong about no cars made during the WWII years...well, sorta.
"While some of those '42 model cars were converted to military use, no cars, commercial trucks, or auto parts were made from February 1942 to October 1945. So there were no 1943, '44 or '45 models. [However], some government records show that the auto industry (Chevrolet) built 139 cars in 1943 and 610 in 1944. ---CBS Ch.13 WKCG"
