Surely tractors are more important than cars as they help massively in food production. Simply moving about is easily done on foot. And the range of terrain that cars can cross is very restricted. Without regular traffic and maintaince I doubt roads would be passable in a couple of decades. Motorbikes though would still work fine.


I think the bigger issue would be rubber. Rubber cannot grow just anywhere and synthetic rubber requires a specialized petroleum industry.
