Rare Due to Circumstances - 1942 Chevrolet

            There were over one million 1941 Chevrolets produced, an incredible quantity to ponder. The 1942 Chevrolet, however, was produced in a smaller quantity, about a fourth of the 1941 figure. It's not that the '41 was a svelte beauty and the '42 a hideous beast. Instead there was a matter of a serious war to be fought, and the industrial might of American manufacturers focused upon doing just that, curtailing the production of consumer durable goods as a result.

America entered World War II in December, 1941 and was fully engaged in Europe and in Asia until the Empire of Japan surrendered in August of 1945.

Thus, a 1942 model of any American car, though existent, is a relative rarity.
