During WWII the office of price administration enacted rationing, price ceilings, production restrictions and recycling to limit consumer inflation. What did this mean if you wanted to buy a car in 1945? Help your students find out with this program that uses primary sources and photographs from the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum collection.
