Most manufacturers had launched their 1946 models in the summer and autumn of 1945, but production was hampered by shortage of materials and by strikes. Nevertheless, the one-millionth post-war car was built in August, 1946, and there were several new cars, including the Kaiser and the Frazer which were produced in the Willow Run plant (used by Ford for bomber production during the war).<\/p>\n<p>In many ways the immediate predecessors of the&#8217; 46 models presented a cleaner, neater and more subtle appearance, a minimum but effective use of chrome having accentuated rather than overburdened their lines. Post-war abundance brought heavy chrome mouldings and the generally graceful curves of the&#8217; 42 types were blunted off, resulting in a heavy-handed styling of what had been basically sound and trim lines. Major body proportions differed little from those of fifteen years previously, the cars still high and narrow on their wheels. &#8216;Liberty Ship&#8217; builder Henry J. Kaiser, allied with Joseph Washington Frazer, chairman of Graham-Paige, would drastically alter the dimension of the post-war American car.<\/p>\n<p>The Kaiser-Frazer concern, with which Graham-Paige had merged, bought up the giant ex-Ford Willow Run plant from the U.S. government, where B-24 Liberator bombers had been built, and commenced to turn a new page in the styling of American cars. Howard Darrin was responsible for the design, and production at Willow Run which began in June, 1946. The lower priced Kaiser and the more expensive and luxurious Frazer were basically similar, with a wide slab-sided envelope body. All vestiges of fenders were gone, the windshield, despite the modern concept, was still a split t &#8216;V&#8217; and, all in all, the relatively large cars presented an altogether clean and compact appearance despite their size, and were devoid of superfluous chrome trim. It was all new to the American car-buying public and a Kaiser or Frazer stood out among the &#8217;46 U.S. automobiles as very different from the run-of-the-mill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Don\u2019t forget our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/supercar-lists\/best-cars\/\">best car hub<\/a> where you can find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/supercar-lists\/best-cars\/\">top cars for every year<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Our Favorite Cars for the 1946 Model Year<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1946_AlfaRomeo_6C2500Competizione2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-189780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1946_AlfaRomeo_6C2500Competizione2.jpg\" alt=\"1946 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Competizione\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1946_AlfaRomeo_6C2500Competizione2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1946_AlfaRomeo_6C2500Competizione2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1946_AlfaRomeo_6C2500Competizione2-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1946_AlfaRomeo_6C2500Competizione2-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1946_AlfaRomeo_6C2500Competizione2-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"vw-post-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1946-alfa-romeo-6c-2500-competizione\/\">1946 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Competizione<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>Approximately 2,800 models of the 2500 series were made, starting just before the end of the Second World War; the Competizione (\u201ccompetition\u201d) version launched in 1946. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1946-alfa-romeo-6c-2500-competizione\/\">Learn more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1946_Bentley_MarkVI-0-1024.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-171746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1946_Bentley_MarkVI-0-1024.jpg\" alt=\"1946\u21921952 Bentley Mark VI\" width=\"1024\" height=\"822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1946_Bentley_MarkVI-0-1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1946_Bentley_MarkVI-0-1024-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1946_Bentley_MarkVI-0-1024-100x80.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1946_Bentley_MarkVI-0-1024-770x618.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1946_Bentley_MarkVI-0-1024-293x235.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"vw-post-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1946%e2%86%921952-bentley-mark-vi\/\">1946 Bentley Mark VI<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>In 1946 Bentley introduced their Mark IV as an updated version of Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith and it was Bentley\u2019s first post-war offering.
