The end of the Second World War saw, arguably, the most progressive period for the car and automotive industry. Previously, design had been influenced by the military operations of the Second World War and this infiltrated the production of cars in the industry.
It was in this classic period but the task began to resemble the machines we know today and less military style. Throughout the 1950s, vehicles became much faster as the engine power increased. Cars also became a worldwide commodity outside the affluent United States and other European countries
