Postwar America through its independent carmakers
Covering 1945 to 1960, this illustrated automotive history examines the independent manufacturers that entered the postwar market alongside the major Detroit companies. It places their new models in the context of a country with strong demand for cars after the Second World War, while also noting the emergence of new firms seeking a share of that market. Contemporary brochures, factory photographs, period literature, and road-test information provide the documentary framework. More than 90 previously unpublished color photographs of restored vehicles add a visual record of the marques and models discussed, including AMC and Willys.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Automotive-history enthusiasts interested in postwar American manufacturing
- Collectors and restorers of independent American marques
- Readers seeking a compact, image-rich reference on 1945–1960 vehicles

The independent automakers who had survived the depression of the 1930s had flexibility and enough capital from the war to be the first to launch all-new models for a car starved nation. So lucrative was the American post-war car market that new automobile companies were also formed to cash in on the pent-up demand for new cars. This is their story told through text and the use of contemporary brochures, period literature, factory photos, road test info and over 90 new, unpublished color photos of restored examples to relate the importance of these historic vehicles.
