Come 1946 they continued the run of 1939 cars. It is amazing though the interchangeability of parts in that a 1937 part would fit on the 1959 Popular.
With stupid jap cars they change the models almost completely every 5 years.

That's a long time to wait to finally find somewhere you could fit that part you bought in 1937. ;)
Jaguar still haven't made a car to fit a spare parts dept. door panel made in 1975. :(

Perhaps that is why anglo cars are such big sellers world-wide.
