History - Evolution of quality in the automotive industry
Has anyone got any good free literature on the evolution of quality in the automotive industry - from say the end of WWII to date ?

I think you'll have to get someone to give you an oral history. I don't recall ever seeing anything printed / on the 'net which specifically addresses the history of quality in the automotive arena. I could be wrong...

I have a few things from my Subsafe QAI school in the Navy. It goes back to the Thresher and Scorpion disasters (1960s) if that will help fill in some.

Whatever there is, it should probably include Demming and the Japanese auto industry.
My guess

Wow, Atul! That's one heck of a nice link! It pulls together a lot. I hope it doesn't disappear for a while as so many do. Thanks!
