Every major epoch in U.S. automotive history, including the bruising, competitive decade of the 1930s, Detroit in wartime, the postwar seller s market, small cars, muscle cars, the government interventions of the 1970s, and the constant redefinition of the auto industry in the 21st century, including the still-controversial bailouts.
