A much better time period in America. Please take me back to the 50's and early 60's !

I remember all these cars. Amazing how much styles have changed over the years. I’ve driven a lot of these cars and have fond memories of them. Thanks for posting.

Hurray for Kodachrome! I shot many rolls of that slide film and they still look great today. It really does justice to the great colors of these '50s cars.

Back when cars had style, class and color.

A handful of them were misidentified, but I really enjoyed seeing this.

Old Beautiful Peaceful Days are Gone.. 😢

Glorious cars! Loved the two-tone colors, plentiful chrome, the change from the more rounded shape to "the box" body shape, and the fins of the late decade. And let's not leave out those hood ornaments -- clipper ship, Indian head, pelican, stylized plane among them. We had a '55 Chevy (Bel Air, White & Yellow) and a '58 Chevy with its infinity-design tail lights that was light and dark green. How I enjoyed washing those cars as a small kid in the 1950s. Thanks for bringing back happy memories.

Born in 1940, I remember seeing everyone of those cars on the road at one time or another. That's when each one was very distinguishable. All you had to do is look at it and you knew which one you were seeing! Miss those days!!

Grew up in the 50,s and long for those days again. The beauty and styling grace of these beauties can never be reproduced.Thanks for the wonderful memories!

How enjoyable. I'm from that time, and everyone had to have their photo taken next to their car.

The colors of cars were so much more exciting back then.

American style of 50's , as for me, is the best car design ever

These exquisite cars were inarguably works of art. Just imagine how many of these cars are still available in Cuba ...

Kadachrome Color look better than my smart phones HD pictures! Love those cars. Built tough. Built in the USA!!!

I was a kid in the 50's and wished I had been old enough to own some of these cars when they were new. I've ridden in a good number of them as family members had some of these models and were die hard owners. It seemed brand and model loyalty was strong in my family. Not sure if others were like that. For instance, my grandfather would only own Oldsmobiles. My parents were die hard Chevy owners. An uncle would only buy Mercury's. An aunt that would only drive Plymouths and so on. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.

These are the cars my parents and their friends drove in my childhood and that my high school friends drove in the 1960s. Thanks for the memories.

Yes, it was a wonderful time for great American automobiles- and brings back fond memories. Plus you let the pictures tell the story with very nice background music. Thank you- you’ve warmed a 75 year old heart this morning.

I almost broke out in tears over memories of how life was so much better back then!

THAT 1955 MERCURY MONTCLAIRE CONVERTABLE WAS GEORGEOUS ! Cars used to be so exciting !

YES!!! Some of these were OUR 1950s RIDE for Years!!!! Beautiful Memory HeartWarm! Thank you!!

It was nice to see all those olds cars that I remember so well growing up even though you had the wrong year on several of them.

Exquisite cars with lots of style and panache. Now we have boring SUVs and crossovers that all look the same. 😞

The cars are always the stars:) Thank you for a great look back in time at them!

I love them all, every car had his own character

Love cars from the 50's and 60's. Great seeing them in their original new condition. I also love seeing how these photos look to have such a high resolution. Thank you for posting.

Back then a parking lot looked like a field of easter eggs. My friends dad had a new 1956 Buick Century and what a beauty. After all these decades I sill recall the colors. Cream White and Canary Yellow, and of course the chrome.

Thank you for the video. Cars of the 1950's had a lot of style.

Wish I could live in the 1950’s forever

Born in 1951 (now 73). Little did we know how good we had it, and how we were the last generation. Thanks for the video!

Great clip!! & The color really takes me back!! I was born in 55. Love the vintage cars!!! Ahh memories ❤️

Two-tone cars impart an attitude of optimism. 2:12 Snow is very rare in Gorman and it never gets too cold there. Couple was out for a bracing, rare, cool-air top down spin in their Hudson Hornet.

These care are perfect untouched. you can se the happiness in peoples faces thank you vary much👌👌

Golden years,fabulous pics 👍

I had many cars from this era. They were simple & easy to work on. Chrome was real chrome...not plastic & the hoods closed like bank vaults on strong hinges that required very little maintenance, just a little lubrication now & then to keep them in good shape. The engines were low stressed low RPMS & would run for years with little maintenence. NO computors or moduls!

Yup, I lived through the 1950s. My first car was a 1952 2 door Chevy convertible in canary yellow. A sweet ride. My dad had a 1950 dark blue Ford sedan. I am even older than the little girl in the photo who would be 70 now. Much older.

This was the greatest decade in US history. Anyone with a job could own their own house and land. Most people I knew that had a decent job traded cars every two years. That's about the time Detroit was coming out with a new model. This wonderful time, before giant corporations took over the country, was a time anyone with ambition could buy land and start a business. My father, a WWII vet, came home from the army and learned the auto body trade. Within 6 years he was buying old cars, fixing them up and selling them. In another year or so he bought a piece of land where the new highway was going. It had a litte shack on it. We lived in that shack while he built a garage, opened his own shop, and I worked there with him repairing those beautiful 50's cars. After living in that shack for a few years the whole family built a big colonial home behind the shop. My brothers and I worked at that shop until my father died, over 30 years.

wonderful age the fifties in the USA and great cars....better than ever

People were lucky back then, everyone got to drive a classic car.

I was a teen in the 50s and loved cars! Every September the new models would come out where i lived and everyone was excited about it! They were exciting, great to look at designs, attention to detail, a visual delight to behold with all the uses of color. I think it was good for the brain! Seriously! Compare to today where everything's the same. Makes your eyes and brain lazy. And underdeveloped! Maybe thats why a lot of people are so crabby these days. 😂

What a time to be alive especially in America None of the troubles of today

That was actually a ‘56 Pontiac @ 2:30…but you’re doing pretty well at this point.

The following corrections should be made: @3:29....'56 Ford ; @4:53....'55 Mercury ; @7:28...'50 Mercury. Thank you for uploading these GORGEOUS photos!

Kodachrome was an incredible film. It used a unique dye-transfer rather than dye-coupler process, so the color is almost as durable as an original Technicolor film print.

I was born on Christmas Eve in 1956. My favorite decade of cars was always the 1950s. Whenever I went to a car show, I would always look at the ones from the 1950s. I loved their styles and colors.

Most of these beautiful cars we were privileged to see in South Africa during the 50/60s. Thank you.

57 Ford two door hardtop. 56 Chevrolet two door hardtop 58 Chevrolet two door hardtop. Good years and good memories. Vehicles you could work on and have fun doing it!

I was born in the late '50s and don't remember anything before the summer of '63, but of course there were still of lot of '50s care on the roads and in my family and friends families, so I have a lot of memories of riding in them. For example, my dad had a dark green '54 Belair that he had bought new, and when the sleek new '65s came out in the fall of '64, I went with him to spec out and order a new Belair. About a month later we got the call that it had arrived, so he and I went back to pick up the new one and drop off the trade-in '54. The '65 sure was nice, but I remember looking out the back window at the '54 as we drove off the lot and feeling kind of bad about leaving it behind. It was like we were abandoning a loyal member of the family. These photos also remind me of one of our neighbors, a widow in her 60s or 70s whose daily driver was a '53 Packard Clipper (white top, purple body) when we moved there in '64, and it was still her DD when we moved away in '71. When she was ready to do her daily trip to the local market or whatever, she'd come out all dressed up with her purse over her arm, open the swing-out garage doors, carefully back the Packard out, get out and close the doors (it was an empty garage, why not just leave them open?), and off she'd go with her gray hair and hat barely visible over that huge steering wheel. I seriously doubt that car ever left the neighborhood or went over 25 mph. When she came back, the process was reversed. It was a big production and all of us kids would stop and watch. That huge Packard fit inside that old wooden garage with only inches to spare, but as far as I know she never hit anything. Now that I think about it, I'm a retired widower with a pampered DD that I've owned for 18 years, so maybe I've become my street's version of the Packard lady. 😆

I was born 1952 and remember a bit of the 1950. And the cars I like the background music to.

The 55 Chevy convertible was a 55 Merc, and the 50 ford 4 door was a 55. Correction, 56

My parents and grandparents (on both sides) bought a new car every 1-2 years. So our home movies look just like this. My grandparents always bought Cadillacs.

Why can't they make cars that look this great today?

I was born in 1960, I I still remember some of these cars still on the road as late as 1970. Great memories!

I still. Like each one of them.❤👍💯

If they still made kodachrome I would go back to film

I miss colored interiors. The last ones I had were the red on my 1988 Dodge Aries K wagon and burgundy on my 1989 Dodge Spirit.

Though I'm English, when I was a young lad I often used to see American cars in London that were sold by American forces personnel before they returned home after their spell of duty here. Those kind of cars are still a highlight at the many classic car shows held over here, apart from our sports cars we couldn't compete with all those iconic American models.

Better days, better cars, a much better America

Things truly were better in the past.

Brought back such good memories. I love Amrican cars from the fifties. My father had a 57 Studebaker Commander. A wonderful car. Before that a 48 Studebaker Land Cruiser.i had a magazine Dells Car book of 58. Unfortunately i tossed it out after school. There were so many makes and models in those days. The cars changed their design each year.

Kodachrome is just so beautiful

Thanks for the trip back in time. On road trips, my brother and I would see who could be the first to guess the year and make of the cars coming into view. Couldn't do that with today's models.

American cars of the '50s were anything BUT basic. The American motorists and the cars they drove were the most advanced in the world.

Born in Dec 52 but I have some wonderful early memories of the fifties.

Wish to have those good times again

Every year had a brand new design

Great musiC

the Oldsmibile 88 was one of the best selling and fastest cars of the 1950s

Beauties!! Real cars.

I lived through and saw most of these Fine rides during my young years. Gimme more!😁

Got some doozy of a pics of me by 1950s cars when I was a small kid in the late 50s and early 60s.😅

Cool "walk" down car memory lane. The color photos were great. A couple of the car dates were off. The people in the pictures were an added attraction. I would have been one of the little kids in many of these pictures.

Will you people moaning about a very few wrong calls on makes and models just stop, rewind and enjoy the view. I was too busy reminiscing and wishing we could these days, open a hood, change points, condensor and plugs connect a dwell meter, and timing light and be on our way in an hour or so, all tuned up. Rebuild a carburetor in about 2 beers time when needed. Those truly were the days my friends. Almost every model from every manufacturer changed every year. Chrome! Real Chrome! Genuine AM radios. We were happy with it all. Yes we were. Oh yeah... gas ran about 31 cents/gallon in '57. And if you got 15 miles per gallon on a trip, you couldn't wait to tell everybody about the amazing mileage. My dad had a '56 Dodge Coronet, flathead 6 with 2 speed push button powerflite transmission. The car had 3 tone paint. We liked it!

Back in the day where Americans were proud to be American, style and beauty was valued, as well as practicality. I wish I was born in a time where I could experience these cars!

I remember traveling to Nebraska from East Tenn to see my Grandparents each year in our 52 Olds 88 until we got a new 61 Chevy station wagon. Boy did it have lots of room. No air conditioning in any of our cars until about 1965 . And mostly no Interstate either. Stopping at the motels like the ones in some of these pics. Looking for a decent place to eat ,no big chain restaurants until Howard Johnsons came along. People were even courteous on the road and would even stop if you were broken down.

The original Kodachrome ( 8 asa ) was an excellent film in sunny conditions ,unsurpassed in my opinion .

I really like the green 55 Chevy sunliner. Very rare never saw one before.

Love old cars. My family had an early 50's Desoto passed down for generations. Wish we would have kept it. I remember being in it. Was born in 1959.

in the 50's I was in my 20's and could hardly wait for the look and design of the new models every year ,I owned a used 53 and then a 56 Studebaker called "Power Hawk" color green-white ,which I traded later for a new 58 Chevrolet

Lot of great cars. That Lincoln at the start was sure sleek

Never been a “car guy” plus I wasn’t born until 71 so none of these resonate with me (though my dad would have loved these)….but as an amateur photographer I absolutely love the colors from the Kodachrome film. 😀😀

The Cars 🚗 Had a Style of Their Own ❤ Them 😊

I can see why folks were taking pictures of these cars back then - they were works of art. Today, who'd even bother to take a picture of a family car, unless it's to list if for sale on eBay!!!

Though some looked staged as in advert. . A couple have the wrong year posted. I do'nt care in the least! Glorious, glorious, glorious!!

The 59 Lincoln Continental MK IV is sweet.

My parents had a White 1950 Mercury when they moved to Tucson in 1954, pulling a 30 ft moving trailer, not many cars could do that today. Thanks for the memories and video. Have a great day.

I remember my parents had a '53 Buick in the late 50's. It was a TANK!

Manufacturers claim that cars are built " safer " now , they won't admit the cars are UGLY now !!!

Back when cars were allowed to be colors other than white, black, silver, and dull red.

Now Paul Simon's song makes complete sense. Great job and thanks.

Love the music on this site!

Delightful. Brought back memories. I did see a couple of errors in the captions (Mercury identified as Chevy, incorrect year on another Mercury), but loved the images.

Love the cars of 1950s and 1960s the colors the stylish looks that you know what make it is.Looking at some of the roads and streets, cars back then were very oil leaky LOL.Great video of classic cars in there prime 👍

Saludos a la cultura norte Américana sus autos maravillosos. Su música hermosa tube un vehículo estadounidense un belair coupe 1958 automático lo adquiri cuando joven lo restaure y pinte rojo y techo blanco le pinte las bandas blancas en los neumáticos en los radiales modernos no existen con bandas de fábrica como en la época bueno por donde me paseaba era el centro de las miradas lo vendí ase muchos años por nesesidad era joven y necesitaba tener mi casa propia para mi familia an pasado 20 años y con estas imágenes me da mucha nostalgia saludos desde chile

Back in the sixties I owned a 1955 coup Deville Cadillac, flamingo orange with a continental kit. I really enjoyed that car. I kept it till I had to send it to the auto grave yard.

You're videos are absolutely amazing. Such wonderful days for many...... Thank you again for sharing your videos and content. God bless you 🙏

A handful of them were misidentified, but I really enjoyed seeing this. Thanks you!

I can remember seeing these jn our neighborhood and some in our driveway my favourite was the 57. Got a new one every 2 yrs.

So many interesting shapes, colours and interiors then. More variety, and flair, than today.

I did live through the 50s. I think one thing that has been lost is what I would call .."clean and classy". Seems like in our present day people are proud of the fact they can be sloppy looking and accepted. That''s fine...but I grew up seeing the best was always shown to be "clean and classy"

Nice to see the classy cars! I was disappointed that only one Chrysler product made the list.
