Ultimately when the winds of change began to blow, people started hoping for a new and much better life. Vehicle production was then handed a new lease of life. The outcome was the introduction of several &#8216;legendary\u2019 cars at the close of the troublesome decade. This would eventually become the bedrock of automobile design and engineering in the subsequent decades and even today. Here then are the <strong>best 8 1940s cars we should still be driving today<\/strong> in every sense of the phrase.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Cadillac Series 62 1949<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/autordee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Cadillac-Series-62-1949.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1385\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/autordee.com\/best-1940s-cars-still-driving-today\/cadillac-series-62-1949\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/autordee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Cadillac-Series-62-1949.jpg?fit=1024%2C638&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,638\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"[]\" data-image-title=\"cadillac-series-62-1949\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/autordee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Cadillac-Series-62-1949.jpg?fit=300%2C187&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/autordee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Cadillac-Series-62-1949.jpg?fit=640%2C399&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1385\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/autordee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Cadillac-Series-62-1949.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cadillac-series-62-1949\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This Cadillac model can easily be considered to be a bonafide pioneer in the 1940\u2019s automobile design. It categorically made its mark by been the very first car to sport tail fins at its rear end. This precedence went on to pave the road for an entire decade of impressive American automotive design. Cadillac itself hailed it as the &#8216;most beautiful and distinguished\u2019 car in the world, and they were clearly not mistaken. The Cadillac Series 62 was powered by a 5.7L V8 engine which could produce 150hp. Its top speed was 100mph.<\/p>\n<h3>2.

While what was under its hood could basically be described as mediocre, its exceptional design more than made up for this. Still, it boasted of a respectable 5.2L V8 engine that was able to produce 150hp worth of power. While its top speeds was rated at 84 mph. The RoadMaster\u2019s most notable feature was its &#8216;dollar-grin\u2019 grille.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

Even better, its maximum speed was in the 125mph range.<\/p>\n<h3>4.

Some of the notable features it had to offer include heated seats (optional) along with &#8216;forward-pointing\u2019 spotlights incorporated into its wing mirrors. Also, its bonnet sported a decorative Indian chief\u2019s head which glowed in the dark. This car was powered by a 5.7L V8 engine that could produce 227 hp and it had top speeds of 81mph.<\/p>\n<h3>6.

Its maker Preston Tucker could only produce 51 units, before he was forced to close shop due to a wide variety of reasons. Over the passage of time, the Torpedo became one of the most in demand collector items. Indeed in 2012, one of these cars was auctioned off for a handsome sum of $2.63 million. Its most impressive feature was, without doubt, a directional 3rd headlight which could be activated as the driver navigated angles of above 10o. This feature soon came to be known as &#8216;Cyclops Eye\u2019 and served the purpose of illuminating the Torpedo\u2019s path around corners. This car had a 7.5L V8 engine that could produce 166hp worth of power. Its maximum speed stood at the 120mph mark.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px;\">Furthermore On Best 1940s Cars We Should Still Be Driving Today<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px;\">7.
