The 1950s were the golden age of the American automobile, and the cars were faster, bigger, and more boldly styled than ever before. Sunday drivingCleaverstylein the regal family Ford, Edsel or Plymouth topped the list of national pastimes; and teenagers, behind the wheels of their daddies' thundering Tbirds, had fun, fun, fun across America's highways. The economic prosperity of the country made for an 'ultramatic' boom in car manufacturing, and the advertising industry followed suit. This reprint of a Chronicle Books classic collects the 'masterpieces' of automobile advertising, culled from the pages of such popular periodicals as Life, The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, Look, and Holiday. Their colorful illustrations and catchy copy give these ads a 'powerpacked beauty' all their own, offering a fun look at 50s culture and values. So take a cruise down memory lane with this fond look back on a time when tail fins and chrome were the standard, and the American car was the true King of the Road.
