>>1745258>Economic conditions after 1929 did shrink many cars to about the size of a Modern panel van, for the sake of modestylol what no, i would say it's much more due to the fact that mass-produced cars really took over after WW2 so companies started to focus more on cheaper cars, as it ceased to globally be a luxury product at least in the west. they still produced big cars for rich people, they never stopped, but these also probably became smaller partly because better engineering lead to the possibility of having powerful engines for big cars without making them 8-10 liters inline-8 cylinders cathedrals that also leaded to long-ass engine bays. The tatra in the post above yours, which already had a V8, is a good example of engineering choices that were super modern in the 1930s.
