1939-1945
1939: the first true General Motors concept car, the Buick Y-Job is debuted.
In 1939 the industry's first rear turn signals to use flasher are introduced by Buick.
The 1939 Buicks undergo a facelift, this time looking like an Olds, of about '40 vintage. The depressions between the inner fender and the side of the hood of the new Buicks are filled by flowing fenders. Awkward Buick's headlamps still protrudes atop the fenders with a rather small split grille rising up in the center, like that of a dirt track roadster. Optional chrome strips run along the semi-circular rocker panels, doing away with running boards. Again optional, sunroofs hopefully compensates for the now extinct famous Buick's rumble seats. Column shifted Buicks appear for 1939 and that comes togheter with the already popular banjo steering wheels.
At the 1939 New York World's Fair, GM's "Highways and Horizons" exhibit features the "Futurama", a panoramic tour of a cross-section of the country as it might appear in 1960, illustrating the possibilities of future industrial progress.
1939 April 30: N.Y. World's Fair opens. Ford Exposition building gives visitors a ride on "The Road of Tomorrow".
On Oct. the 3rd the first Lincoln Continental is introduced by Ford.
The 1939 Nash offers air conditioning.
1940: the Tacoma-Narrows Bridge collapses into the river in a windy day.
One year later, Pearl Harbour's attack will catapult the Americans into WWII.
Hydra-matic, the industry's first completely automatic shift transmission, is introduced by Detroit GM's Transmission Division (later Hydra-matic Division) on Oldsmobile's 1940 models.
GM produces its 25,000,000th car (Jan. 11, 1940).
In 1940 the German government officially seizes control of Adam Opel AG.
This year William S. Knudsen is appointed Chairman of the U. S. government's new Office of Production Management by President Roosevelt, to lead the wartime industrial mobilization program, a credit to Knudsen's outstanding leadership and knowledge of manufacturing, machine tools and productivity.
1940 GMC Trucks are available in different colors and there are over thirty six models.
In 1941 GM Japan ceases operation.
1941 Mar. 1: Ford builds first General Purpose (G.P., or "jeep") vehicle for U.S. military at Rouge Plant.
With GM's look-alike styling still going strong, ornamentation made Buick stand out in the years before WWII. For example, the 1940 Buick grilles are much fuller with the aid of heavy horizontal bars. 1940 Buick's headlamps receded well into the fenders, but on the 1941 models they are recessed completely. In addition, there's less emphasis on the rise in the grille's center and outside grille molding tapered as it runs down the edge. While everyone else has their new front-opening hoods, Buick's hoods open from either side, from the right side up or the left side up. Buick's windows are bigger, with slanting roof pillars and both are rounded at their edges. Overall room in the 1941 Buick coupe is excessive compared to others of that time. So those coupes have an outstanding contour to their rear decks.
1942 Feb. 1: Will halts civilian car output; Ford shifts to total military production.
During 1942, like all major U.S. industrial companies, Hudson became part of "the Arsenal of Democracy," building aircraft parts and huge engines for naval craft.
All the assembly lines stop producing cars and start turning out bombers, tanks, guns, and grenades.
For the next 3 years, all cars will be basically variations on the 1942 models.
In 1942 GM converts 100% of its production to the war effort.
During World War II, GM delivers more than $12,300,000,000 worth of war material to lead the Allied war effort, including airplanes, airplane engines and parts, trucks, tanks, marine diesels, guns, shells and miscellaneous products. Among these products manufactured by GM for the war effort were the 6X6 army truck (a two-and-a-half ton vehicle that carried both troops and supplies) and the DUKW (nicknamed "the duck"), designed to carry up to 50 men on either land or water.
Taking Ford and the rest of the entire GM line by surprise, Buick unveils a new style for the 1942 model year. New grilles smiles at onlookers and will keep on smiling at them in one form or another until 1954. "Airfoil" fenders embrace the entire length of the new Buicks. Front fenders run back, trailing off in height, into the rear fenders, just above the gravel shield placement. Thick double belted chrome strips run along the bottoms of Buick's fenders with huge bumpers wrapping around the sides of them.
Then the effects of WW II creeps slowly upon Detroit. Cast iron pistons, substituted for aluminum ones, causing the 248 cubic inch Buick to drop from 125 horsepower to 110. but the 320 incher stays at 165 horses.
Buick normal production goes into hybernation in February, when the plants begin turning out Pratt & Whitney aviation engines at a rate of 1000 per month.
During 1943 General Motors acquires all assets of Yellow Truck & Coach, and the GMC Truck & Coach Division is formed.
1943 May 26: Edsel Ford dies at age 49.
A week later, on the first of June, Henry Ford is re-elected Company President.
1944 Jan. 22: Henry Ford II elected Vice President of the Ford Motor Co. On the 10th of April Henry Ford II is elected Executive Vice President.
1945: the second tube of the Lincoln Tunnel is opened to traffic.
Private passenger automobile production is resumed on July 6, midway between victory in Europe and victory in the Pacific.
1945 June 28: the last B-24 Liberator bomber is produced by GM at Willow Run Plant.
During WWII Ford builds 8,600 bombers, 278,000 jeeps and 57,000 aircraft engines.
Chrysler participates in many defense projects, most notably is the production of the 32-ton Sherman M4 tank. Chrysler produces for the war 18,000 Sherman tanks (the main combat vehicle of the U.S. and its Allies in World War II) and approximately 500,000 Dodge trucks. By 1945, Chrysler total more than $3.4 billion in military equipment supplied to the Allied forces.
1945 July 3: Ford resumes production of civilian vehicles.
A couple of atomic bombs dropped over two Japan cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, end WWII in August, 1945.
The Atomic-Era is on.
1945 Sept. 21: Henry Ford II is named Company President of the Ford Motor Co.
At the end of 1945 the new Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac Assembly Division is organized by GM.
This year GM del Peru begins assembling trucks and commercial vehicles.
In December 1945, the UAW goes on strike over wage issues in the US.
After the war end, in 1945, Hudson gets another chance to vault towards the top of the United States auto industry. Hudson's management is much more attuned to succeeding in boom times than in retrenching when times grew tough, and the American auto market is poised for unprecedented growth. Public demand for new cars is at its all-time peak, after four war years have completely shut down auto production for civilian use.
