This month in our "Deluxe" section, we decided to look at the
car care options of the '40's and '50's. One look at these
products and it's easy to see how things have changed over time.
Today's technology has come a long way from the days of
yesteryear as environmentalist groups have gotten increasingly
more involved in anti-pollution efforts. Car Care companies have
had to change and create products that are more environmentally
friendly, without gouging their consumers.  In the past,
marketing strategies were also very different. Back then,
products were much more niche market, and targeted the smaller
consumer groups who usually owned the specific models of cars
that products were initially developed for. Now, many of the car
care products are much more general in nature, and thus are able
to be utilized on a variety of different automobiles. Had these
companies not changed some of their products and strategies,
it's safe to say that some of these companies would have gone
under and would not be here today
