It is unreasonable to apply the ideological thoughts of today to the events, and the way companies did business 70 + years ago. We do not live in the same world they lived in then. We don't live in the same world that existed when the Mopars we so loved were rolling off the production line in the 1960s and the 1970s either. The fact is, most of the stuff that was common even in the early 2000s no longer exist today. Any 20 year span in history has a different life style and has more things different then it does have things that remain the same as the previous 20 year span. Gene
And thinking backwards does not work. You have to start 10-12 years earlier and look forward. Then what happened over time seems to make better sense.
