The Auto Companies Take on World War II
Update: 2025-08-20
Description
During World War II, the American automobile industry joined the war effort. Companies like General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler went from producing civilian cars to making tanks, trucks, jeeps, aircraft, and other essential war supplies. This transformation involved significant retooling of factories, with many plants dedicating themselves entirely to war production. This the story of how automakers big and small helped win WWII.
