wondered if easier maintenance was a factor during those times, the cads valves are awful to adjust and they claim it’s “easy”  

In the thirties cars required a motor overhaul or ring and valve job every 20,000 or 30,000 miles, this according to mid 30s MoToR Magazine, the american garage trade magazine.

So yes easier and cheaper maintenance was a factor for some people.
