1946-1947
The UAW General Motors Company strike is resolved on March 13, 1946, with a wage increase 1/2 cent higher than the Company's initial proposal.
In 1946 Central Foundry Division is established by GM.
The long awaited 1946 models are all reserial '42 models, yet Buicks are the most modern with their "new" 1942 styling.
A big hit with the public are Buick's bombsight hood ornaments. Parking lights are simple round units under the headlights for 1946 as opposed to the chrome side-sweeping strips which curved around the fenders on the 1942 Buicks.
1947 April 7: Henry Ford dies at age 83 at Fair Lane, his estate in Dearborn. .
In 1947 the radar gun is used for the first time to catch speeders in Glastonbury, Connecticut.
This year Packard offers power seats and windows in its automobiles.
1947: Oldsmobile celebrates its Golden Anniversary.
During this year the GM's "Train of Tomorrow" (Electro-Motive Division) begins a nationwide tour.
The way to tell a 1946 Buick from a 1947 is just as simple. The 1946 Buick's center grille bar runs up into the hood's molding crown, which reads, "Buick Eight". On the 1947 models, this center grille bar does not run into the crown.
