My dad had a newly designed 1949 Chrysler Windsor, which I knew was all-new, and I loved that car. But you said in past columns that the Kaiser-Frazer was the first all-new post WWII car. Which is it? Bob Landis, Detroit, Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A: Bob, I\u2019m happy to help. To be specific about the WWII effort and the car manufacturing, the car builders did not assemble cars for three full years, 1943, 1944, and 1945. When the war came to an end the 1946 models were \u201cunveiled,\u201d but were mostly the same as the 1942 vehicles as all work went into wartime product production. The reality is that most of the car manufacturers had to move quickly getting back to car assembly, and the easiest way was to use the 1942 tooling.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_103091\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector5.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103091\" class=\"size-full wp-image-103091\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector5.jpeg\" alt=\"Collector Car Reader\u2019s Write; More World War II years, air raid sirens, pickups trucks and post war cars\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector5.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector5-300x224.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-103091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Homely by today\u2019s standards, International Harvester\u2019s Travelette pickup is the very first to offer crew cab, 4-door dimensions. (Binghamton Ford)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As noted in previous columns, the Kaiser-Frazer indeed came through with the first \u201call-new\u201d design in 1947. This independent was nowhere as big as Ford, Chrysler or GM, so they pretty much started as a new car company late in 1945 and began development. To answer your question, there were no Kaiser-Frazers in 1942, their 1947 model was automatically all-new and is the first all-new post-war car. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To continue a favorite subject, all vehicle manufacturers from Checker to Ford helped build the needed war equipment. The government ban on commercial car production began in January of 1942. Included was a mandate that all chrome bumpers and trim be discontinued due to the need of these materials elsewhere. Instead, the car manufacturers utilized coated plastic, and the military cars produced were called \u201cblackout\u201d units, as nothing would shine under lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">By February of 1942, car production completely halted as companies like Chrysler, for example, started building Wright Cyclone airplane engines, anti-aircraft guns, radar units, mine detectors, tanks, tugboats, and track personnel carriers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Your father\u2019s new Chrysler design arrived mid-year 1949, and was called \u201cSeries Two.\u201d This new Windsor 4-door retailed for $2,329 and featured lots of chrome, a big grille, vertical taillights, and 116-horsepower from a 251 cubic inch inline flathead 6-cylinder. The 331-inch Hemi V-8s would appear in 1951, which leads to another relevant story I always like to tell.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_103088\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector2-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103088\" class=\"size-full wp-image-103088\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector2-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Collector Car Reader\u2019s Write; More World War II years, air raid sirens, pickups trucks and post war cars\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector2-2.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector2-2-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-103088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The \u201cBig Red\u201d Hemi powered air raid siren from the early 1950s could send a signal as far as 50-miles if the weather was right. (Chrysler Museum)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Although the war was over, Chrysler still worked in defense and built many Hemi air raid sirens both during the war and postwar. Using the 331-inch, 180-horse 1951 Hemi V8, these air raid sirens were some of the loudest ever produced and were said to travel a minimum of four to five miles guaranteed, and up to 50 miles when conditions were right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">By 1958, the sirens were out of production and the hot rodders snagged up all those 331-inch Hemi engines, utilizing them for all types of race cars. If you would like to hear these sirens in action, visit www.victorysiren.com\/x\/index.htm and click on \u201cHear Big Red\u201d on the left, and then on Sound Clip eight. The site is loaded with great information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This air raid site notes that this air raid engine was Chrysler&#8217;s first V-8 engine introduced in 1951, even though some Hemis were smaller in the years to follow, ala the 1953 Dodge Red Ram Hemi at 247 cubic inches and the 276-inch Hemi that appeared in the Desoto line in 1952 called FireDome Hemi. These Hemi engines represented an impressive improvement over the flathead sixes and produced up to 180 horsepower and a then very high compression ratio of 7.5.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A promotional printout presented at the 1951 SAE National Passenger Car, Body, and Materials Meeting in Detroit touted, &#8220;The performance, efficiency, durability and general operating characteristics of this new (Hemi) engine are outstanding, and further improvements are assured by continued development and use of fuels of higher quality.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Little did they know that come 2024 the Hemi style engines would be powering the nitro funny cars and dragsters in NHRA drag racing to over 330 mph in less than four seconds. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thanks for your letter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>First four-door pickup<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Q: Hello, Greg. I enjoy your articles very much, especially those on trucks. My question is when did the first four-door truck appear for purchase, and did GMC or Chevrolet ever make a four-door truck in the 1960 decade? How about extended cabs?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thank you very much and I look forward to your response. I am not computer learned so I rely on people like you! I have always been a Chevy and GMC truck lover. Respectfully, Frank H., New Castle, Indiana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A: Frank, first for my apologies for not having answered your follow up letter about pickup trucks you sent handwritten weeks ago. Both the first ever four-door truck and the first extended cab might come as a surprise to you, as Chevy and GMC were late to the party.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_103089\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103089\" class=\"size-full wp-image-103089\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector3.jpeg\" alt=\"Collector Car Reader\u2019s Write; More World War II years, air raid sirens, pickups trucks and post war cars\" width=\"400\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector3.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector3-198x300.jpeg 198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-103089\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 1973 Dodge Club Cab was the first extended cab to hit the market. (Dodge)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let\u2019s start with the first four-door crew cab style truck. You would think when we look at trucks here in 2024 that Chevy, Ford, and RAM (Dodge) would have been one of the first, but this is not the case. A crew cab, also known as a double cab early on, could seat up to six full size adults thanks to the second row with full-size doors on both sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, this truck wasn\u2019t manufactured by one of the Big 3 (Ford, GM, Chrysler). The first crew cab truck in the U.S. was created by International Harvester (IH) in 1957 and dubbed Travelette. This IH was followed by Dodge in 1963, Ford in 1965, and Chevrolet in 1973. So believe it or not, Chevrolet and sister GMC were the last to produce these crew cab style 4-door models.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now onto the extended cab, also known as a super cab. These pickups had extra space behind the main front seat, sometimes including small jump seats on the side or a small bench style seat instead. In a pinch you could squeeze several adults back there, but the comfort factor on a longer ride was certainly in question. As for the first extended cab truck available here in North America, it was manufactured by Dodge and called the Club Cab back in 1973. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Today, trucks are big business and are used for hard work, daily use, and\/or play. All the manufacturers offer extended cab and crew cab varieties, and all of them are now loaded with amenities that you just didn\u2019t find in those 1950 and 1960 decade \u201cfarm trucks.\u201d Everything from diesel and turbocharged engines are available, and fuel mileage is greatly improved thanks to modern day enhanced MPG technologies. The rarer truck these days is the standard cab, with no room behind the front seat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Being you are a GMC fan, I\u2019ll end with a pat on the back to GMC and the fact that from 1960 to 1965 GMC offered a V-12 engine that was pretty much two V-6 GMC engines hooked together with one common crankshaft. I wrote a column on this engine a while back and it is available on the Internet. (Here\u2019s a link to that column in Auto Roundup Magazine, www.autoroundup.com\/vehicle\/was-there-ever-a-gmc-v12-truck-engine-in-1960-article-1307.aspx).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_103090\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector4-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103090\" class=\"size-full wp-image-103090\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/09\/Car_Collector4-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Collector Car Reader\u2019s Write; More World War II years, air raid sirens, pickups trucks and post war cars\" width=\"300\" height=\"414\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-103090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The first all-new post WWII car was the 1947 Kaiser-Frazer, which happened to be its first car developed.
