On the 1950 bullet nose the center part was made of metal. 1951 the center part was made of plastic

The La Salle was built between 1927 and 1940. Cadillac tried again with the La Salle series based on the Chevrolet Cavalier tooling under a new, different nameplate from 1982 to 1988, Cimarrón. From 1989 to the end of the millennium Cadillac built an interim Seville line to 1996 and then an ultra-luxury spin-off of what was previously the Chevrolet Celebrity that was redesigned based on the German-built Opel Omega which Chevrolet then sold under the reconstituted Malibu model nameplate. Unlike the Cimarrón Cadillac used the GM Division marque name. This time the model was called Catera. Cadillac now brought out a new medium-price companion marque called Liriq, dedicated to the EV market.

The Studebaker shown was not a 1940s model. The bullet nosed Studes were produced in 1950 and 1951.

With the "bullet nose" Studebaker, in 1950 the grille section below was U-shaped. Champions had a 3-point propeller star ornament on top and horizontal bars for the grille pattern below. The President had a 4-point propeller star bullet ornament and radial bars for the grille pattern below. For 1951 this Studebaker tooling reworked the grille beneath the "bullet" with ovoid grille intakes. The lineup expanded into three models, Champion, Commander and President. A simple vertical-bar pattern for the grille was used for the Champion and Commander. A more ornamental grille was used on the President. The Champion and Commander looked identical for styling. The difference between the two was in the engine. The Champion retained the 169-cubic-inch flat-head in-line 6. The Commander introduced Studebaker's first-ever OHV V8, a 232-cube with 120 bhp. The President rode its own longer wheelbase and also got the V8. The other models continued to ride the shorter 112-inch wheelbase.

You also need to remember that world war 2 was going on in the 40 s

First of all I find it offensive that you use a computer generated voice with a British accent incorrectly pronouncing the names of the vehicles in question. Most of the cars you are denoting were built by independent automakers as opposed to the BIG 3.
The bullet nose Studebaker was a 1950 & '51 restyle of the 1947 model which won the '47 styling award for most advanced and modern design. Though prone to rust, if you took care of your Studebaker it would take care of you. Most of your information is inaccurate and if you studied the true history of each one of these vehicles you would find that they were very popular and sold well to the targeted consumer. Yes, there was a time the auto manufacturers gave the public what they wanted. A little more chrome and possibly a faster engine could turn an economical bare bones reliable vehicle into a sparkling cruiser. When the rocket age horsepower race went into effect the independents couldn't afford to keep up.
