See, I think you can point to specific post-war US time periods like that where cars were kinda shrinking. The post-oil crisis cars were one, and post-Great Recession was another.
The companies went right back to oversized metal boxes as soon as they could. This has been true for the entire post-war period.
Even with those specific time periods, I don’t see any move towards really small cars. A 1980 Toyota Corolla is on the large size of small. It’s not like Japanese Kai cars ever had a chance in the US market.
