THE SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY

The contribution to the war effort by the big 3 automakers was crucial to the war effort. The Ford Company focused on airplanes and the new 4 wheel drive design called "jeeps". The B-24 bomber was made by Ford at their Willow Run plant. General Motors built all types of tanks , amphibious vehicles, aircraft engines and airplane propellers. The Oldsmobile division of General Motors made artillery shells. The Chrysler Corp. also became well known as a tank builder. All total, the auto industry manufactured about $29 billion dollars worth of products, about 12.5 million shells and almost 6 million guns.
As screwed up as the automakers seem to be, we cannot allow them to fold. Simply put, we need their abilities and talents to keep us free and secure. We cannot become dependent on war materials that are foreign made. The vehicles, guns or planes or whatever else we need must be home grown Nor can we do without their flexibility/ability to quickly retool in order to make whatever other products we may need in a time of war. It's that simple.
