   Yes, they did.  Roy may not agree with this, but Dodge had a good truck back   
   in the Forties and Fifties.  I drove one a lot back then.

   The Jap cars were properly fitted and aligned compared to American cars.  The   
   biggest problem I experienced, and this came about when I managed a body shop   
   for a Mazda dealer in Metairie (on the outskirts of New Orleans), was that   
   Mazda had no standard paint formula.  Even the touch-up bottles of paint that   
   came with every new Mazda back then didn't match the exterior color, as   
   unbelievable as that may seem.
