Cars of the 50s

Well done!

My son has a 55 Ford Fairlane hardtop and I drive a 63 hardtop.
I remember Trumann and also Eisenhower's election.
I'm stuck in 63.

BEST DECADE for auto design ever ! We had EVERYTHING ! EACH car was a piece of artwork ! Today, everything is a boring copy.

Im 56 and purchased a 1954 mercury monterey.. project car putting a 390 in it … lets keep these cars alive

THE 1957 CHEVROLET WAS THE GREATEST IN STYLE!

Those old dreadnoughts would crush any of these new plastic cars. No one would dare cut you off.☠️😂

Awesome memories! We grew up in a great time in the USA! 🇺🇸

Neighbors had the Dodge from 7min 5 sec, except it was purple and cream reversed. We called it the purple people eater.
Fav is the 59 Impala bubble top. Yummy.

My brother had a1950 studebaker

My uncle had a55 crown victoria pink and white

Ain't she purty..... Pops i hope that your adopted daughter takes you to all those car shows so you can have some FUN.. You can remember My Mother and how she was the light of the room, your cruising gal, your dance partner.... Although your in a care home now, don't give up your love for the ole school ways, I know its hard pops without mom, the bottle, smokes, sand & sea, but I think 🤔 that you'll get back there someday in your mind , to let yourself live another day....hopefully your time there will be spent bringing content with what's going on in your world for these days... Just wishing that you're never gonna forget your ole school ways.....Have some fun Pops, before your life slips away, In rememberence of you today... I'm going to blast these tunes up, so you can hear me from so far away... Behind the Jukebox I'll go stay....For these things I'll pray that heaven isn't ready for you ..nope not today.....

55 chevy!

A well done video. I love cars from the 1950's, and it is sad to see most of the brands that were in this video have gone out of business including:
DeSoto
Edsel
Hudson
Mercury
Nash
Oldsmobile
Packard
Plymouth
Pontiac
Studebaker

How can they make such beautiful cars so long ago and such boring ones now?

In 1956 you could buy a gallon of gas for two (2) 90% silver dimes, the coin of the realm back then (along with 90% silver quarters & half dollars). The U.S. mint stopped minting 90% silver coins in 1965. It now costs 39 contemporary non-silver dimes for the average priced gallon of gas in the U.S. However, it now only costs three (3) pre 1965 90% silver dimes for the same gallon of gas. Consider transferring some of your savings from dollars to silver to preserve purchasing power over time. You can purchase pre 1965 silver coins OR silver bullion OR silver bars. A lot of folks are buying silver now, while accessible, before the dollar's purchasing power is ZERO.
WHY DEPOSIT 'INVEST' IN A BANK?
It's well established that "your" bank deposit money is NOT your money. It is legally the bank's money. So in the event of cascading bank failures where FDIC becomes insolvent and can't cover your deposit your failing bank gives you "stock" in its failing institution, an institution that returns near zero percent interest on your "investment." So why "invest" (deposit) in a bank? Maybe better you put your cash in a mattress OR preferably hard liquid assets (i.e., silver & gold) that hold their value and aren't susceptible to bank confiscation and crippling inflation?

Ah yes back when cars had dash boards not cheap squeaky plastic

.. the Best/'evergreen' was 1955/Chevrolet.Sedan.

A sad love forever!

1961 Chrysler dashboard shown under the 'Buick' section.

When cars and women were beautiful and worth looking at.

Growing up in the 50 was great my father had 1936 7 8 Chevy cars some had straight front axle and one the 37 was knee action but what I liked about those beautiful cars is that you could work on them yourself

My mom's best friend had a pink and white NASH...I got to ride in it, thought I was pretty cool! Seeing these cars brought back so many memories...good memories. My brother in law had a 57 chevy, jacked up in the back end...too cool!

Golden Age!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yessir

I am a 2000s kid but i do realise that todays times are Screwed and i like how nice it was back in the day. I am almost obsessed with the 50s cars and i recently found someone selling a few for kinda cheap (about 10k minimum) they arent in a perfect condition but they are still a really priceless piece and repairing them would make great memories and the car would mean even more to me. There is nothing i wouldn’t do to just be born in the 40s🥲
Please share some stories you have if you were born in the 40s or 50s, i would really like to see how was life back then.

So many of these photos of the cars were out of focus and that decreases the true enjoyment of the video.

So sorry about Christiana an incredible woman I think Hopefully next video you can include model and year of the cars Great 😃 video tyvvm

Enjoyed!

I guess car enthusiasts start with the best and best made. Easy to work on, nowadays if you can find the parts. Amazon, car hop trays.

The Platters, Fremont H.S. L.A.

What happened to the poor girl?? What did she die from?? The car of the 1950s that we had which was my favorite car was a 1954 Ford Customliner. I have the hood ornament which my dad mounted on a stand.
The ornament is a jet with delta swept wings

I always found The Platters' pronunciation "canned make" a bit off-putting.

Nothing more beautiful than the old "Classic Car."

Thank you Marty. I’m sorry for your loss of Christina.

Personally I prefer cars from the 30s, but sweet Maria were the 50s full of absolutely gorgeous automobiles.

cars back then were like pieces of art America had something to be proud of now look around at the cars now and the people not the same

I would love a copy of this sound track, it brings tears to my eyes and I mean in a good way, CARS AND GIRLS.

I have to say, why was the 1956 royal by dodge kinda overlooked, now I know that the 1956 BELAIRE FROM THE TRI-FIVES WERE MAGNIFICENT BUT THERE'S A LOT OF THE 1956 DODGE ROYAL THAT MAKES IT ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CARS OF THE FIFTIES, in a way they look much like a 1957 BELAIR with the fins the three vertical lights in a chrome bezel, the beautiful lines towards the front are just magnificent, then you have that front end "WOW" see all that chrome a bumper we designed and what's to say of the hood, have you really seen the hood another big "WOW" two door hardtop, two tone colors you just can't ask for more its a PIECE OF JEWELRY.

😌

The United States should have these types of cars in its roads/highways again.
The country was so foolish to stop have them. Why did the nation do that?

BEAUTIFUL!! 50's and 60's cars had personality not like the cookie cutter models today. My dream is to own one again....sadly and stupidly I sold my 1963 Chevy Belair in 1977 ...IDIOT!

Only The Platters of Doowop I know reason why is classic club 🎶📻 R.I.P Tony Williams 😇

Some of the colour schemes were so cool

My favorite car is a 1957 Chevrolet.

Damn, thats a nice car, and a nicer lady

I almost bought a Plymouth like the one shown, but I got too much ridicule from my friends.
