> cars not being a thing affordable by the working class

Are you shure you're not talking about the 50s but the 80s?

In the East it wasn't about affordability in price, but about rationing. You had to wait 18 years for a new car at the end.

No, I am referring to the 80s. There were a lot of families without cars there. Probably depends on where you lived but where I lived (500k inhabitants in the city) cars were only for the wealthier.
