Well, the early postwar years were a sellers' market, they could sell anything/everything they could push out the factory doors... This situation lasted here in America at least until 1949-50. Only then did you see "Progress" being made in automotive design, I.E. more power & ease of control. its also when the car companies got a formula-Front Engine, rear drive, & set about perfecting it, making the car as reliable w/as little maintenance from the owner. That "Formula" lasted into the 1970s-early eighties, til the front engine/front wheel drive package began to dominate, as it still does today.
