Standard Flying Eight - 1948

The Standard Eight is a small car produced by  the British Standard Motor Company from  1938 to 1959.  The car was originally launched in 1938 as  the Flying Eight. After the Second World War  the Flying range of Standards was dropped  but an updated car called the 8 hp was re-  introduced in 1945. In 1953 a completely new  car, the Standard Eight was launched sharing  virtually nothing with its predecessor. In 1959  the car was dropped to be replaced by the  Triumph Herald, as the Standard brand was  being phased out.

1920-1929

The Roaring Twenties is a term sometimes used to refer to the 1920s in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, characterizing the decade's  distinctive cultural edge in New York City, Chicago, Paris, Berlin, London, Los Angeles and many other major cities during a period of sustained economic  prosperity. French speakers called it the "années folles" ("Crazy Years"), emphasizing the era's social, artistic, and cultural dynamism. Normalcy returned  to politics in the wake of hyper-emotional patriotism after World War I, jazz music blossomed, the flapper redefined modern womanhood, and Art Deco  peaked. Economically, the era saw the large-scale diffusion and use of automobiles, telephones, motion pictures, and electricity, unprecedented  industrial growth, accelerated consumer demand and aspirations, and significant changes in lifestyle and culture. The media focused on celebrities,  especially sports heroes and movie stars, as cities rooted for their home team and filled the new palatial cinemas and gigantic stadiums. In most major  countries women won the right to vote for the first time. Finally the Wall Street Crash of 1929 ended the era, as the Great Depression set in, bringing  years of worldwide gloom and hardship.  The social and cultural features known as the Roaring Twenties began in leading metropolitan centers, especially Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles,  New York City, Philadelphia, Paris and London, then spread widely in the aftermath of World War I. The United States gained dominance in world  finance. Thus when Germany could no longer afford war reparations to Britain, France and other Allies, the Americans came up with the Dawes Plan and  Wall Street invested heavily in Germany, which repaid its reparations to nations that in turn used the dollars to pay off their war debts to Washington.  By the middle of the decade, prosperity was widespread, with the second half of the decade later becoming known as the "Golden Twenties". The spirit of the Roaring Twenties was marked by a general feeling of discontinuity associated with modernity and a break with traditions. Everything  seemed to be feasible through modern technology. New technologies, especially automobiles, moving pictures and radio proliferated "modernity" to a  large part of the population. Formal decorative frills were shed in favor of practicality in both daily life and architecture. At the same time, jazz and  dancing rose in popularity, in opposition to the mood of the specter of World War I. As such, the period is also often referred to as the Jazz Age. 1930-1939 After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the largest stock market crash in American history, most of the decade was consumed by an economic downfall  called the Great Depression that had a traumatic effect worldwide. In response, authoritarian regimes emerged in several countries in Europe and South  America, in particular the Third Reich in Germany. Weaker states such as Ethiopia, China, and Poland were invaded by expansionist world powers, the  last of these attacks leading to the outbreak of the Second World War a few months before the end of the decade. The 1930s also saw a proliferation of  new technologies, especially in the fields of intercontinental aviation, radio, and film.  1940-1949 Most of the Second World War took place in the first half of the decade, which had a profound effect on most countries and people in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere. The consequences of the war lingered well into the second half of the decade, with a war-weary Europe divided between the jostling  spheres of influence of the West and the Soviet Union, leading to the beginning of the Cold War. To some degree internal and external tensions in the  post-war era were managed by new institutions, including the United Nations, the welfare state and the Bretton Woods system, facilitating the  post–World War II boom, which lasted well into the 1970s. However the conditions of the post-war world encouraged decolonialization and emergence of  new states and governments, with India, Pakistan, Israel, Vietnam and others declaring independence, although rarely without bloodshed. The decade  also witnessed the early beginnings of new technologies (including computers, nuclear power and jet propulsion), often first developed in tandem with  the war effort, and later adapted and improved upon in the post-war era.
