1950s Automobiles and American Culture Pt.I

With the end of the war and the return of American soldiers, factories went back to doing what they did best, making cars. Soldier came home with money in their pockets and finding ways to spend it. What better way to spend money than buying a car and taking your girl for a ride. That is exactly what a lot of them did. Soldier came home to their loved ones and starting their own families. Suburbanization began to become a thing after the war. Houses were being built just outside major cities where families had the opportunity to move. Automobiles would make it possible to go to work from the suburbs to cities.

  1. Yes!! These are the classic cars that everyone loves, well at least I do. I am glad you started with the 1950s because it was a creative and innovative time for car styles.
