The 1950s were pivotal for the American automobile industry. The post-World War II era brought a wide range of new technologies to the automobile consumer, and a host of problems for the independent automobile manufacturers. The industry was maturing in an era of rapid technological change; mass production and the benefits from economies of scale led to innovative designs and greater profits, but stiff competition between the automakers. By the end of the decade, the industry had reshaped itself into the Big Three, Studebaker, and AMC. The age of small independent automakers was nearly over, as most of them either consolidated or went out of business.

  • Los años 1950 fueron esenciales para la industria automotriz estadounidense. La época que siguió a la Segunda Guerra Mundial trajo consigo una gran variedad de nuevas tecnologías que ofrecer al consumidor de automóviles, y también una serie de importantes problemas para los fabricantes de automóviles independientes. La industria maduraba en una era de rápido cambio tecnológico; la producción en masa y los beneficios de las economías de escala, llevaron a diseños innovadores y a ganancias mayores, creando una alta competencia entre las compañías. Al final de la década, la industria prácticamente se había concentrado en lo que se conoce como los "tres grandes" (General Motors, Ford, y Chrysler) y AMC (American Motors Corporation), lo que supuso el fin de la época de las empresas fabricantes (es)
