Best Cars Of 1941 – The Greatest Cars In The World This Year

From the moment the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December 7 1941,, the United States moved to rapidly militarize their infrastructure and production capabilities. During this period, it was extremely difficult to purchase a new US made automobile or parts for your car. However, this period of militarization forced the USA to find cheaper and more efficient ways to produce and distribute raw materials and finished goods. This increased productivity was quickly utilized by the automotive industry.

Of course, 1941 is widely remembered by car enthusiasts as the first year of production for the Willys Jeep, a design that has stood the test of time. It’s a design that is still alive and well in today’s Jeep Wrangler.
