Synopsis
The 1950s in America were a time of great change; music, politics, advertising and TV shows were going through a drastic transformation, and the cars of the time followed in the same fashion. Conservative models suddenly sported fins and sweeping styling, engines grew bigger and bigger, and chrome crept over more and more of the flashy cars. The Standard Guide to 1950s American Cars documents this decade of dazzle in a year-by-year format, covering all major manufacturers from 1950 to 1959, with every company from Buick to Willys. Each of the 175+ listings contains an exploration of each model produced that year, data on how many were made, and a listing of new features. The spectacular vintage cars of the 50s are captured in an over 175 vibrant color photos and original ads. The book also provides an interesting historical perspective by connecting facts about the people, places, music and milestones of each year to the cars it produced.
