What cars were made during World War 2?

Very few civilian cars were made in the major warring countries during World War II. Production was drastically curtailed or completely halted as factories were converted to producing war materials like tanks, planes, and munitions.

While some manufacturers might have produced a small number of vehicles for essential workers or military use, these were generally highly modified versions of pre-war models, or purpose-built military vehicles rather than standard passenger cars. The focus was entirely on the war effort.

So, the answer is essentially none, in the sense of new civilian car models being launched and mass-produced as they were before the war.
