Nice read, Guscha. The Budd story is especially interesting, showing once again how strange the idea of the "foreign" automobile is. The Russians "appropriated" the dies from the (originally) jointly run German body factory after the war... I bet they did! And so, the Eastern Bloc automobile business was given a shot of steel-body technology. I'd be interested in hearing some comments on this piece. It's quite educational.
