Description

Yasutoshi Ikuta (au). The 1950s were the golden age of the American auto: GM, Ford, & Chrysler were topping the market, but smaller manufacturers like Hudson, Kaiser-Frazer, Nash, Packard, Studebaker, & Willys were also strong contenders. The ads they produced reflected the many faces of the national obsession with the car. Here are some of the masterpieces of the era’s auto advertising, culled from the pages of Life, the Saturday Evening Post, Collier’s, Look, & Holiday. Vintage Cadillacs, Packards, Hudsons, Buicks, & dozens of other makes & models cruise again in this colorful collection. It’s an trip back to a simpler time, when chrome & tail fins were all the rage & American cars ruled the road.
