Key topics include:

How Ford, GM, and Chrysler converted factories to build military equipment.
The rise of Jeep, tanks, and 4x4 technology during the war.
How wartime innovations, like stronger materials and automatic transmissions, shaped post-war car designs.
The return to civilian car production in 1945 and the beginning of a new automotive era.

This episode uncovers how the auto industry helped win the war, while laying the foundation for the booming car culture of the 1950s.
