I owned a 1957 Ford and changed the oil and had it serviced every three thousand miles It was one of the best cars I ever had I drove it over two hundred thousand miles with only a few repairs other that tires and a clutch replaced two times.
Remember the 1957 ford car in-- “Thunder Road”--- It looked and sound just like that car.
My father-in-law drove a 1956 Plymouth over three hundred miles with just a motor overhaul once. Yep they were great cars.
Revisionist History at it's best. All I can say is that it's a good thing "they don't build 'em like they used to". By 100,000 miles, the typical '50's death trap was a worn-out rust bucket. Want a dose of reality? Watch the YouTube video with a '60's Chevy offset head-on versus a recent vintage Malibu. Lots of nostalgia for something that never existed, IMHO....
jaja die Kisten waren damals schon geiler! besonders meine Lieblinge, die Amis btw lol die sprechende Gans! solche Effekte konnte man in den 50ern schon machen?
The problem with America today lies in the fact that the quality of customer service has become so..... cold. Even the commercials today are generally sadder, dramatic, and generally not uplifting. They don't advertise the greatness of America today because the -attitudes- of the people that made America great and pleasant are practically all gone. Pretty much Americans today are driven by fear and uncertainty rather than hope, optimism, community, vigilance, and creative passion.
yes when america was america ,men were men and women were women...now america must wait,not knowing,when its doom will arrive,which should be soon..wickednes,ripoff corporations,evil lawyers,wfilthy perverts,nasty immigrants..the list goes on and on...and getting worse by the day...repent soon,as america nears its final demise
Deutschland hatte auch schöne Autos, gut zugegeben die Größe und die Hubräume waren bei uns kleiner (Kein Wunder nach dem Krieg hat man klein Angefangen, die USA nicht!) aber trotzdem hatten wir auch tolle Wagen. NSU Prinz, VW Käfer, Opel GT und Manta usw. Auch tolle Motorräder Zündapp, Kreidler und Co.
Once upon a time there was a country on Earth which citizens dedicated as much love as no-one did to their own. At a time sky was the limit and oil wasn't a problem, creativity was the fuel which ran the dreams of everyone. Their dreams led them to some of the most magnificent automobiles ever produced. Not only cars, but works of art. Distinguished, elegant and iconic vehicles which raised the legend...
The legend of American Cars... evey kid would miss those days, even not having lived it.
The good 'ole United States of America. I remember it well. It was a nice country while it lasted. However, what one sees today is the end result of what happens when the Communists got hold of the children. Barack Hussein will finish it off now.
I remember those days well too. They were great for car design and mens' haircuts, some movies. But sociologically those days were awful. Every conceivable kind of prejudice and discrimination made a fearful conformity the most prevalent mode of the period. McCarthyism was a stain on this country's history that is still with us. Now the military-industrial complex HAS taken over.

He said that the air suspension was a flop on the 57 Eldo. It was usually replaced with steel springs though.
