Video Description:
The 1950s is a decade many look back upon warmly - and with good reason. Our country had recently come out victorious and relatively intact following World War II. The outlook was hopeful and optimistic as people looked forward to brighter days ahead. The cars were beautiful and the people were enthusiastic and hard-working. They took pride in their country, their work, and the way they presented themselves to the world.

I'm 82- brings back memories
Excellent nostalgic video
Love the pictures of my childhood. Also get a kick out of identifying the cars..
I love your oldies
Takes me back to a time I wish that young people of today could understand. Those were the best days of America.....or as I like to say.....it was the Tenderloin of American
Brings back some good memories.
Thanks for the memories
Love these older videos. Thanks Mel !!
We grew up in the best of times! thank you for the wonderful memories
I truly enjoy these "Back In" videos, all of them bring back so many great memories,,
Thank you Mel for making them available to us,,,
Thanks for another trip down memory lane! Love the vehicles and the fashion - dressed up even to go to the grocery store.
Enjoyable!
I was born in 1935 and there is nothing I have experienced yet yet to equal the wonderful 50's. I wish our lives roday could go back to the friendliness and fun of those times.
I didn't enjoy this video Mel~~~I LOVED IT with a tear in my eye REMEMBERING those days my friend! You know those times were BETTER and EASIER on all of us! I knew 99% of every car in that video because I'm a "PRODUCT" of that ERA and i MISS those times also!
In My OPINION~~~Today's World SUCKS!!!
A happier friendlier time in our lives, wish it still was!
Im 89. so yes my era.I still wear hose and heels to church. These ladies were dressed n icely for grocery shopping. These days were missing something. Civility?

Cars were really GREAT. I wish you had used background music from the 50's.
