About the Staff Car
When the U.S. formally entered WWII in 1941, its automobile industry was called upon by President Roosevelt to become the Arsenal of Democracy. Detroit responded by halting new car development and changing its assembly lines to churn out tanks, planes, and other war equipment. The 4-door sedan selected for use as a military staff car was the last new car model available until the end of hostilities in 1945. It featured distinctive suicide rear doors, V8 engine, and had a fuel-fired heater in the passenger compartment.
