Fifties Flashback

Flamboyant fins, acres of chrome and a burbling V-8 under the hood--the Fabulous 1950s was a time when every car had a personality of its own. The American car virtually reinvented itself during the 1950s as it evolved from rehashed prewar designs to high-style, high-performance cars by the end of the decade. Fifties Flashback is the colorful story of one of the most revolutionary decades in automotive history. 150 color illustrations, 50 B&W.
