American Cars of the 1950's

Small book but quality photos. Covers the entire 1950's with interesting stories, statistics and photographs. A nice trip through the past. I recommend it.

A great gift for my father in law who loves the cars from this era. Even him, who collects and studies things about these cars, said he learned some cool facts he didn’t know before. And the illustrations and crisp and clean. Great buy!

This book is well-produced in a very easy-to-read format. If you're looking for in-depth details you won't find them. But if you want a picture of life in the 1950s this book is for you. Each brand of car is presented alphabetically by name and then year-by-year. The color, quality of paper and the printing process are all first-rate. You'll also learn about the independent makes that didn't survive the decade like Hudson, Packard and Willys. I recall visiting our local Ford dealer in the 1950s as a small boy and collecting the brochures for each model. I would study them for hours. You could not help but be impressed with with each company's self-promotion on how good their make of car was. This book condenses the highlights of all of those old brochures and helps convey the message of how great the '50s truly were.

It even has some wagons in it. It has it all, Pictures, I think about all cars, And some info of them. Good little book.Just don't buy the Cars of the 50's by Jim Heimann. I did, and it's Junk. (But this book, American Cars of the 1950's is the best in my opinion) because I grew up in 50's. I may be older but I remember all of them.

I can't stress how much I value the reviews on Amazon, which is why I write them. Here's a case in point: I wanted to send my 14 year old nephew something fun while he was away this Summer, and I knew he loved cars. By relying on the reviews, I chose this book and he loved it.I may not always agree with other reviewers, but their insights and opinions help me make better choices. What really amazes me is that Amazon will print the negative ones.

Remember when you could identify almost any car you saw on the road? The 50's auto industry saw rapid innovation while each manufacturer sought styling distinction. This book is a great reference, complete with illustrations in 50's period style.

This book has the best graphic material about cars of the '50s. The selection of the models is complete and you have enough here to know all on the designs of the decade.
