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.
With modern society today seemingly flipped on its head - it's nice to take a look back and remember the times before everything got so crazy.
Thanks for watching - I hope you enjoy this brief trip back in time to the 1950s!

Brings Back A Lot OF Memorys!
I was just a youngster in the early 50's, then a roaring teenager at the end of the 50's. It was a pretty innocent time in the town where I was raised. Crime and drugs were not a problem.
Very good Journey back 81 years old now...
@ 93 they are all familiar
very good
Back when even a novice could tell the manufacturers apart! And the vehicles all had class - even the Edsel, in its own way. Smile. Thanks, Mel

I enjoyed these photos---I grew up mostly in the 50's.
I liked it - but then my parents had a nice house in the suburbs and a big car - and we were white.
Makes me so happy to see all these old images. I'm a photographer and I want to just look and look at them. Thanks for sharing.
