  • Silver color is the best

  • Cars back then were like beautiful works of art.

  • @Jsd8675 Im well aware of what cars look like today. thanks...

  • @richardcwood1 .. I also remember when the interstates were first being built. Ike's first reasoning, after his impression of the autobahn, was a faster means for troop convoys to travel.

  • @wannabeangel83 Cars are just as colorful and powerful now as they were in the 50s. This isn't 1993 you know. We have nice cars again... open your eyes, or a car magazine.

  • The pinnacle of American society-the 1950s. Such a fabulous, safe, innocent, enjoyable time, and how deeply sad that we lost it all. Beautiful cars, beautiful scenery in this video. Thanks for sharing.

    So were the only good decades the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and our current 2010s? I'm just thinking that life is good now in 2011, and has been since the 50s, but life before had WW2, the Depression and generally life didn't have the modern conveniences we have today available since the 50s. So would I be right to say the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s were the 6 only good decades of cars and good living we've had?

  • The 50s! everything was wonderful

  • Not to mention they were NOT automatic, especially until the fiftes, and you had to double clutch every time you shifted a gear!
