The first fully automatic transmission, Hydra-Matic, was introduced by General Motors in the 1940 Oldsmobile. But by 1942, World War II halted production of new American automobiles for over three years. Despite this hiccup, it did give rise to at least one timeless classic – the Jeep. By the late 1940s, automotive innovation was back on track with GM’s introduction of high-compression overhead valve V-8 engines.
