My lady friend Miss Linda is always cold too. When she comes to my place in summer (10 months of the year, I remind you), she drapes a blanket or throw over her shoulders. Lately, I admit, I've found it a little chilly in my place during the all-too-short "winter" and have been wearing an extra layer now and then. She has the nerve to complain that I keep my place too warm!

Oldies from another room is a fantastic little YouTube channel that accompanies this thread rather well. It's music from the 40's but its mixed so as to sound a hair distant. Pairs well with a pipe in my opinion.
Brandaves, I'l try that while I'm shaving this morning!

I guess in May '46, this would have been a "1946" model; the '47s wouldn't come out until that fall. And as far as I know, this was not much more than a warmed-over 1941 or '42 model anyway. The "new" cars had to wait until, what, '47 or '48? And Ford's '49 would be the really new one. But after almost 4 years of war and no new cars, even a '42 with some reskinning would have been more than welcome.
If that bothers you. Don't look what citroen has done with the traction-avant.

You are correct. A lot of the major hardware innovations (both pent up within the industry, and those resulting from the War) are still about a year off.
The early post-War production was just to try and stop gap pent up demand, with mainly pre-War tooling on hand. The national fleet was very worn by late 1945, and many vehicles placed on blocks by veterans never returned to service.
However, the one big area where major wartime advances were quickly felt were in fuels, lubricants and synthetic rubber.
