You're spot on, IMO! I learned how to drive in my Dad's '55 Chevie Bel Air and the first car I bought was a '56 Ford Customline sedan. I'm 77 now and no longer drive but those cars, and 1950's cars in general, were the best.

As a kid in the 50s you could tell the make of the car from 100 yards. Today cars are designed in a wind tunnel for aerodynamics. I can't tell one make from another . 50s music, 50s cars!!!

@IfThisCarCouldTalk Год назад

Always have said that and that goes for cars clear into the 70's! Thanks Gary!

@leonardmitchell1214 Год назад

Generally, you picked the greatest design eras, with the 1950s lineup. I saw them all new and for the most part I agree with your choices. However, I agree with the gentleman who suggested that the mark II Continental should’ve been closer to the top of the list. I’ve never owned one, 9:36 but I did have the pleasure of driving one back in the 50s, and it was wonderful. On the other hand, you missed what I still consider to be the most beautiful car of all from the 1950s. That is, the 1956 Lincoln Premier convertible. I owned this car for nine years and I still love it. Mechanically, 50s automobiles left a lot to be desired. However my 56 Lincoln convertible gave me better than 23 miles to the gallon which is great for a vehicle weighing more than 5000 pounds. It could also bury the speedometer which required exceeding 140 miles an hour. On the wide-open in the highways of Canada where I grew up, I had the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful, beautiful automobile. It was great to see your photos, of all of my teenage year cars. Well done!

@IfThisCarCouldTalk Год назад

Thank you so much Leonard! We also love the 56 Premier and my Dad had one I remember fondly! There will be a part 2 of this list down the road so - stay tuned!

@robertbray1995 Год назад

Wow, a lot of nostalgia here, great job. At 73 years young and a gear head my whole life, I believe the 50s were the pinnacle for auto styling and colors. I have 3 Vettes now, a 2020 C8, a 2023 ZO6 and a Roman red/India ivory cove 1960 270 horse with 2 four barrel carbs that I’ve owned for 50 years. All great cars, but I trust you can guess which is my favorite 😊!

I know EXACTLY what started my love affair with cars. In 1956 my Dad & I took the train from Seattle to IN to see relatives. I was 7. When we left to come home, we took the train to Detroit. In those days you could drive demo units from the factory to dealerships around the country. We delivered your No. 1 car, a '57 Ford Skyliner Crown Victoria glass top to Bill Pierre Motors in Lake City, North Seattle. I will never forget seeing that car for the first time. It was coming off the wash rack, black & cream, all wet & shiny with lots of chrome! My 7 year old self had never seen anything so beautiful in my short life, & that beautiful Ford STILL ranks pretty damn high in my book! I cried real tears when Dad delivered it to the Ford agency. I laid in the back seat staring at the stars, through the glass top, across half the country! Big adventure for a little boy!

@IfThisCarCouldTalk Год назад

Wow....thanks for sharing such a wonderful memory with us Daryl! I can just picture your 7 year old self in that back seat!

Today’s cars may not have much personality, but they are much safer than the cars of the past. I wouldn’t be alive if I had been in an accident in one of these death traps. I was driving a 2011 model automobile when I was Tee-boned. I was very thankful for airbags and seatbelts and safety cage construction. I was hurt enough with those features but I would have been hurt worse if I had not had those things for protection.

It was the culture back then, and the way people treated each other. Also when you are young you have a very special connection to these Automobiles. Cars were rolling Art, and reflected the space age.

@stevemccarty6384 Год назад

PLEEZE remake the '55 Chevy! I want one with the stick shift on the collumn, but I'm not sure they made one like that way back when. I'd like a 53 with the straight six too, also with the three on the tree. New cars mean nothing or very little to me, but I want the old ones back.

@curbozerboomer1773 9 месяцев назад

But we all need to realize, that those large, beautiful cars of that time frame, were build devoid of safety items!...Think about it--no dual master cylinders, few disc brakes, minimal side-collision protection in the doors, crappy suspensions, seat belts were barely an option, no airbags, of course, the tech was not yet available...and yes, those stunning steering wheels were deadly, with the solid steering columns not yet designed to "break-away"...many folks were crushed to death in more serious head-on collisions. No one loves those beautiful boats of yesteryear more than I do...I owned a couple!..But I would not drive one today.

I loved the Studebaker Hawk series, the 56 Lincoln low slung body and large canopy..a beauty! My personal favorite was the 58 Pontiac Bonneville with tons of chrome and iconic rear quarter leading to fantastic taillights.

Great showcase of art. At my age (85) I saw all these cars as they came on line. My first real drool was the 1953 Studebaker Sport Coupe. Agree about the 56 Ford but the outstanding thing (to me) was the 1956 Chevy "210 series" 2 door hard top with the factory "Power Pak" (duel exhaust - Four barrel carb) and special order for the straight shift , because it was usually shipped with the power glide automatic trans. The Bel-Air was the usual Hard-Top, so the 210 series was limited in quantity of production. The 210 series had "just enough" chrome trim but the Bel-Air was over kill and stole the true "waist pinch" line at the rear fender, what a beauty. Thanks for the flash-back of a great time in our history.

I remember my dad's '53 Buick and also his '59 Buick. Both were gorgeous cars. I remember standing on the floor of the back seat of the '53 leaning against the middle of the back of the front seat between my mom and dad looking out of the front window. I loved looking at the long hood with the ornament in the middle and at the rounded fenders that were lower than the hood. Today if someone lets their kids ride like that they would be in jail. The '59 was the first car I drove and the first time my dad let me drive it alone I was stopped for speeding. The cop knew my dad and drove me home. He let my dad take care of my punishment.

I’m 83 and after the old folks designed 28:00 28:00 early 50s models the emergence of the 1955 Chev and Ford had everyone’s attention as they were breathtakingly beautiful. Friends of my parents had a Kaiser Manhattan which was truly an American classic. My dad bought a 1956 Dodge Royal sedan in White and Magenta that turned a lot of heads. As did my uncles 57 DeSoto Firedome. It was a great time to be a car loving teenager.

He drove that car until june 1973! Had about 50,000 on it. Had to sell it for parts,as living in rust belt,it just got too rusty to drive. When I was a kid,born in '49, about one third of all vehicles in so.bend were Stude's.

Even today this car is great looking…..I fail to see why the 1957 is so popular……it’s design is no match for the ‘58! I also agree with virtually your whole line up of the best of the 1950’s!

I was a boy in the 50's in Detroit. My dad was an engineer for the fisher body division of Chevrolet. I remember him bringing fibre glass samples home when they were working on the first corvette design. I had a wagon and it had corvette emblems all around it from corvettes through the 50's. I knew all the car models then Studebaker, Packard, Hudson, Nash etc. I think the most iconic car of the 50's was the 57 Chevrolet. We got a new Chevrolet every year. What ever division you worked for then you were suppose to drive that car.

I have to add the Pontiac Wide-Tracks of the 1960s, the epitome of which is the 1965 Bonneville Convertible. The overall proportions, the loooooong rear section taking advantage of the broadness of the cars, the widening of the quarter panels as if to abide the fender skirts. The stacked, separately-encased headlights with the avian pointed hood. It refined everything about Pontiac up to that point. It was stately and still looked incredibly fast even when standing still. I was so young when my Aunt got one at that the word "BONNEVILLE" in metal letters welded into the rear quarters were at eye-level. I remember because that was the first word I remembered how to spell, and hated that there were "so many repeats!" in the letters. I wanted more new ones!

I owned a 55, 56, 57, and 58 Chevy but my favorite was the 56 because it was my first car. I bought it from my friend who had rebuilt the engine, redone the interior, repainted the body, and gave it a vinyl top (all the rage in those days). It had an unknown camshaft and solid lifters. It took a whole day of adjusting and running it up and down the road to get the ideal valve adjustment, but when it was right the sky was the limit. I later sold the engine to another friend who put it in his 56 Chevy. It had a standard 3-speed transmission and he clocked it at 120 MPH in second gear! (no joke) He didn't have a tachometer so we could only guess what RPMs it was turning. Ah, the good old days!

I agree hold hardly with your choses. The two cars I wish were added are the 1955 Plymouth Belvedere and the 1957 Buick Super Riviera 2dr hardtop. The 55 Plymouth was such a styling upgrade from all the Plymouths from before. It was exceptionally handsome with a red body and black top and side sweep. I know you selected the 1955 forward looks from Chrysler, but you did not show the Plymouth. The 1957 Buicks were also great to look at from any angle with its massive bumpers and tail lights. I liked the Super Riviera 2dr hardtop because of the way the way the top was melded to the body and the side trim with its tangerine paint in the center and the tangerine wheels. It also had the four ventiports like the Roadmaster.

I can't argue with your choices. My first car was a '55 Ford 4 door. My cousin called it an 'all door'. We liked it because it was quicker getting everyone in, if the situation dictated a quick getaway. Loved that car. It'd go anywhere and was often asked to. If I had the money today, I'd go for a 2 door hardtop, but that 4 dr still has a place of honor in my heart. My dad had a '54 Corvette. He bought it wrecked in '55 or '56 and rebuilt it. I still have the fiberglass mold that he built by hand, to lay up the left rear quarter panel. He had a '32 Ford sedan at the same time and he sold it, to buy the chrome for the Vette and then sold the Vette, to pay off the tools in his shop. The guy he sold it to, totaled it a couple of weeks after he bought it. Dad always said that he'd give his left n_t to have it back. Hmmmm.....good memories.

I can't take the time to list the few I didn't like; That made the top 20 list, But was disappointed not to see any Packard , Hudson , Nash , or Rambler Cross Country Wagons . But thank You for the list , & video.

@dicksanders8206 Год назад

Good point. Maybe a show on those specific cars. Yes? I learned to drive on a 1961 Rambler Classic 3 speed.

@ACF6180T Год назад

@@dicksanders8206 IMHO these should have made the top 20.

@IfThisCarCouldTalk Год назад

Well, I see a part two of that list coming on...so many great ones that everyone has mentioned. Believe me, it was very hard to narrow it down to 20! Thanks Venice!

@IfThisCarCouldTalk Год назад

We're definitely getting lots of good ideas for the next 50's list!

LOL - don't we all! Thanks for watching and commenting with your list of favorites! We have a part two coming this summer so keep watching!

@philjackson8029 Год назад

I liked the ‘54-‘56 Oldsmobile Super 88 with a rocket engine and Bullit nose taillights.

@IfThisCarCouldTalk Год назад

Great choices Phil! Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you find lots more to enjoy here!

@Chazd1949 Год назад

Wow, I cannot disagree with these choices at all. I might rank them a little differently, but all of these beautiful cars from my youth bring back many fond memories. Great assortment of photos and valuable information. Thank you so much for the video.

@IfThisCarCouldTalk Год назад

Thanks so much Ch W D! We really appreciate the nice remark and are very glad you enjoyed it! It is very tough to rank such great cars. We're working on one now for the 60's cars and will be doing a part two of the 50's down the road. Hope you find lots more to love here!
