Basically at that time, the only major source of chromium outside of the USSR was located in the country of Rhodesia. Rhodesia had a massive civil war and as a result their production of chromium stopped.

No chromium means no stainless steel and that means cars just rust away.
Are you saying cars before and after this are made with stainless steel?
