The Vehicle Industry of the 1930s
The image posted above illustrates an ad of a famous car brand in the 1930s known as General Motors. General Motors created many car types during this time, such as the Buick Roadmaster, the Chevrolet Corvette, BelAir and the Cadillac. In the 1930s, many of the features present on a car at this time are similar to those on our modern cars. These features varied from foot boards, sun shades, headlights, rear lights, low pressure inner tube tires, windscreens, and windscreen wipers. Although the standard cars consisted of these several features, many luxurious cars, which were mainly purchased by the few rich beings during the Great Depression, also consisted of newer engines and methods. These engines varied from the V-8, V-12, and the newest addition, the V-16. These cars were vital for many of the civilians who were suffering from the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Many civilians ran to car stores in order to buy a car as a way to migrate with their families west to California.
