1940s

During the 1940s, production of automobiles came to a halt. Because of WWII, production and concentration went from cars to heavy weaponry and equipment for the war. The government began calling car factories to focus on war efforts. Thus this caused the production and advancement of automobiles to come to a halt.

There was one car that came out of the war efforts, and that car was the Jeep. Founded in 1941, the Jeep was used for the war. It did go back to the square, carriage look but it was only for war purposes. This square look is actually what gives the Jeep its signature look still famous to this day.
