Launched for 1941, the 600 is usually credited as the first mass-produced American car built without a separate chassis. The lighter body made it frugal, and the name was a boast: 600 miles on one 20-gallon tank of petrol. It returned after the war and was restyled in 1949 with the rounded, wheel-covering Airflyte body.
