Fascinating, full of discovery and above all fun is how we like to think of the 1950s and these sentiments were displayed nowhere with more flamboyance than in the changing style of the American automobile over the decade.
From the immediate post- war designs, which were soft and rounded, the cars then devel-oped into sharp-edged projectiles winging their way along the galaxy of American freeways, creating in their wake a new-look America. This was fast becoming the America of the drive-in —drive-in restaurant, drive-in cinemas, drive-in car wash and domination by the automobile would soon become the established American way of life. The car you drove was a status symbol — the bigger and bolder the better. The influences on design came in the main from the fast developing aeroplane industry but just as important was the influence from a population, who after years of world conflict craved a society filled with excitement and colour.
Dream Cars of the Fifties is the story of the evolution of the American automobile. With superb photographs throughout and fascinating insights into the popular culture of the time, this book will leave you with a sense of nostalgia for the decade when American dreams came true.
