The automobile industry quickly became industrialized. While France can be considered a pioneer in automobile design, it was in the United States that this industry truly flourished. The American automotive industry, exemplified by Ford and General Motors, experienced rapid growth. Standardization, labor savings, and corporate consolidation were all factors contributing to this American prosperity. Several major American manufacturers emerged in the 1920s and 1930s: Chrysler in 1925, Pontiac in 1926, LaSalle in 1927, and Plymouth in 1928. nostalgic low-resolution illustration
