I'm doubtful too.
Look at this 1940s Volga, for example.

The rear wheel arches in the photo are not separately moulded, but appear to be part of a continuous line from the front. The rear light clusters are moulded into the wing, not separate bolt-on units on the rear panel.
Narrow tyres continued long into the 1950s - look at Ford pops.
