Our national defense industry would be virtually unscathed (Boeing, MD, Lockheed, etc.). For what the auto industry could produce, the Defense department could buy up their capacity for the whole year and build transports or whatever you think they could do. Engineers at the Big-Three would still work on new designs for the inevitable demand for new designs in a few years.

Okay, so what's the problem again?

You're talking about plane production when you used an auto example.

Right, The auto industry has been responsible for tanks and other military vehicles. That isn't going to sustain them and If we're subsidizing the US auto industry through taxation, your free cars aren't free. You've essentially put them out of business. That's the problem. You're easy fix formula don't do squat. You've just given 300million people a vehicle that is going to last them 10-20 years. You've garaunteed no american car sales for as long as people are satisfied they don't need a new vehicle. You've also killed the replacement parts and maintenance parts side of the industry for a generation. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.
