Cars in the 1930s were significantly more luxurious than their 1920s counterparts. Constant innovation led to higher sales, safety and customer satisfaction.
Other important new inventions include automatic transmission and V-8, V-12 and V-16 engines. Power had suddenly been completely redefined.
There were about 6 new cars introduced in the 1930 line. Cadillac released a new V-16 engine that redefined personal power in the “affordable” automobile.
Frankly, in the 1930s cars actually became what we know of them today. Before that they were mostly carriage-looking buggies with big, hard spokey wheels.
