The first fully automatic transmission,
Hydra-Matic, was introduced by General Motors in the
1940 Oldsmobile. But by 1942, World War II halted
production of new American automobiles for over three
years. Despite this hiccup, it did give rise to at least
one timeless classic – the Jeep. By the late 1940s,
automotive innovation was back on track with GM’s
introduction of high-compression overhead valve V-8
engines. | |
