Chrysler had tried first in 1934 with the ill-fated Airflow, in addition to Hupmobile of the same year, followed by Lincoln in 1936, Ford in 1937 and Graham in 1938. Cadillac/LaSalle and Packard were the only major players to keep headlight pods for a couple of years. There was also smaller volume cars, such as the Crosley and the American Bantam that kept them, and the low-cost Hudson 112 which replaced the very successful Terraplane line. -- Last edit: 2023-07-07 15:46:58
