Didn't that one have a ship on the hood?

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.

Yesı.

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.
