Car prices postwar debate aims to sustain demand

The piece argues most owners will not buy at high postwar prices, noting wartime savings for homes or other uses. It suggests manufacturers should keep near prewar pricing or raise production to offset wage gains, warning higher prices could curb demand and threaten jobs. Also mentions a London transport firm testing a central entrance bus with pneumatic doors.
