It was an absolute honor to grow up in the 50's I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. thank you Lord! A "road trip" WAS our "entertainment" and those 50's cars are like NO OTHER...EVER! Dad had a 53 Buick in mint color and it was ALWAYS in pristene condition...if I could afford it, I would have a 50's car they were beautiful and unforgetable.

Now have Parkinson’s but would go to serve my country again. A real shame that our country is in such a reck.

I think maybe you mean a much better US than today? Not all the world has crumbled like the US. In fact, a lot of countries have improved their way of life. But yeah, surely watching this and then watching the walking dead videos of US streets does make you wonder “what the hell happened”? It looked like a dream back then but of course this was only true if you were white. Blacks probably had it worse than today back then.

My family owned many of those cars. I was the rambunctious little brother that slept in the back of many (most!) of those station wagons. We vacationed at all but a couple of those Natl Parks and Natl Forests. Those men with their haircuts and their hard shoes, and those women with their dresses and hand bags, were hard working, proud Americans raising a family, and paying 24.9 cents per gallon for gasoline to visit our great country. No cell phones, computers, or internet. Not even cable TV. My generation invented that just after we pulled off mini-skirts and that flight to the moon thing. We had books, and parental encouragement. Most of us had an AM radio. You could receive Country music and Mexican stations, including Wolf Man Jack in the later 60s. FM radios were rare. If you could find one there was typically one or two stations playing classical music. Some of us had a B/W TV. Everybody's parents worked at the same job all their adult lives. Apologies for my wandering trip down memory lane. Similarly, apologies to the Harvard grads for the comma misuse. Video presenter, thanks for the slide show.

And NO "F word." You only used if you were alone among a bunch of men, and even then only sparingly. Girls didn't use it AT ALL! Exceptions might be the boys' locker room when there were no adults around, or an army barracks filled with 18-21 year old draftees. But it was not used routinely especially in mixed company by anybody.

Thanks for uploading these pictures of yesteryear recollecting those nostalgic “days of wonder”; sadly, now being eroded by today’s society.

Anemoia: a nostalgic sense of longing for a past you yourself have never lived. It is nostalgia for the “good ol’ days”; more specifically, the good ol’ days you are too young to have known. It is a sense that something was intrinsically better in the distant past than it is in the present; that we’ve lost something crucial in our ceaseless march of progress.

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.

At 73, it's somewhat depressing, to find that this all looks somewhat familiar! The big station wagons, with the rear facing rear seat and power rear window, were a great place for the young kids to geek out at cars behind, I remember that like it was yesterday, todays kids, safely strapped and belted into a mini van (sure, they have a much higher surviability rate in a crash) don't know what their missing. The car's year and model was a nice touch, though I knew them already.

Momma used to pile us kids into her 1958 Chevy and floor it down the back roads to the beach! We took sandwiches and cokes for lunch and swam all day. Then, tired and a little bit sunburned, back home in time for Gunsmoke on our B&W tv. No kidding!

The red and white car in the center of the picture at the “Roadside Attraction, 1950’s” @ (2:35) is a DKW. It has a 2 cycle engine. Auto Union and DKW combined sometime in the 1950’s or 60’s to form what we now know as Audi.

Positively ridiculous. Cars then rarely went more than 70,000 miles and many rusted out before they even reached that point. They were rolling death traps and the best of them barely got 15 mpg and polluted like crazy.
