You don't know s--t from Shinola. These were great cars. The only problem with them was the fact that people didn't want small cars back then, and the Hudson Jet's clumsy side trim. The Rambler was doing a great job selling to the few who did, leaving no room for the other compacts. Also hurting them was the shortage of HydraMatic transmissions from GM. The plant burned down, and by about 1951, you simply had to offer an automatic transmission. Rambler weathered that problem OK because many Nash buyers wanted stick/OD, even on their full-size cars.

The "boxy" look of all these cars detracted from their look. It took automobile manufacturers a long time to abandon this old design trope. For years and years, men's fashion dictated they wear hats. Cars were designed so that men wouldn't have to take off their hats getting into or out of the cars -- thus the boxy" design. I think Chrysler cars were the last to abandon "hat cars", even though men's hats started going out of style after WWII. That may have had something to do with Buick displacing Plymouth as the #3 car in sales in 1955. My Dad sold Buicks in 1955 and had his best year ever!

The promo picture said ugly cars, but most of these were very stylish. Maybe they weren't economically successful, but they were not ugly.
