That's Awesome! In 1984, I was 15 and cam across some High School yearbooks, and I was a freshman.. and our 1959 Anvil that year was my favorite! My math teacher graduated that year, and he'd tell us how much East Chicago had changed in those short 25 yrs! You have lived and experienced some Amazing times in your life.. music, cars, just... EVERYTHING!!! And I know you wouldn't trade those times for ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!!! ❤😂🎉

I grew up in Southern California back then, but born just as that decade began. I do recall certain television shows and seeing how people dressed and what they drove. One of my mom’s sisters had married a man who had a bit of money and they would stop by our place and show us their ‘56 Thunderbird. One of our neighbors and her siblings had hula hoops (I never could get it right). We would hear the Everly Brothers or Patsy Cline on the car radio. No smog, no rioting, neighbors visited over the back fence, the dairy delivered milk, butter and cream to our porch, my Dad was a pressman at our newspaper, one of my aunts was a telephone operator, we would watch Kukla, Fran and Ollie, drank from the hose, wore our skate keys around our necks on a string, stayed out till the streetlights came on and it all melted away far too quickly….

I turned 8 in 1959, so I can honestly say, I remember the 1950s. I also remember an incident that happened in front of our house in a rural area, early one Sunday morning. A guy in one of those '56, Cadillac Coupe Devilles, had wound up in the ditch in front of our house. My dad cranked up the tractor, pulled him out, and refused his offer of payment. The guy said he was in a hurry and had to go. It turned out he had a rather sizeable load of moonshine in that rather sizeable trunk that he had to deliver. This model of Cadillac was loved by moonshiners just for that reason: it had an enormous trunk, and would hold a huge load of illicit liquor. The bootlegers used them for years, and hated to part with them.

Born in 1950, but not in the USA, I haven't any actual memory of what is shown in these photographs, except some of the music from records my older brothers came up with. Later in life I became aware of this era by old movies, my favourite being American Graffiti, and an interest in classic cars and motorcycles. And of course, the girls and women where so much more pleasing to look at. Even so, I feel some kind of loss and nostalgic, watching the video's of The History Lounge. Thank you so much for these "blasts from the past", for which I had no idea I would miss them.

And you can get an amazing large screen color TV today for less than a small black and white TV then, along with our other amazing electronic products. What made the 50s work so well was mostly a 90% plus white society educated in basic American values.

This is the playlist that rocks just about every car meet I've attended in the past 14 years and it's glorious. Some carhop diners still exist and are plentiful where I'm at, but are only seasonal. No, not Sonic. I'd never go there. I speak of independently owned ones, including the last Bonnie Doon drive-in a few miles from me. It's the -1950s- (EDIT: 1940s) era type but unfortunately those 2023 prices keep me from going. Great car shows when they happen there. :) There was a second and even third location but both closed over the last 20-something years. :(

I was born in 43 I remember the first TVs and, of course the black and white. Congressional sessions for a period were televised and I remember President Eisenhower during a televised session losing he cool, slamming his fist on his table and saying in a firm manner " I - don't - give -a damn.". He could be tough and was respected. These days if a President say a firm "no", the opposing party swears he's losing it. But that's the hateful politics we have today. The one most important televised event I remember when Nixon appointed Ford to take his place, congress had a televised hearing where they questioned Ford to approve his appointment and the asked him, as President, if he would Pardon Nixon? and he said "Why, the American people wouldn't stand for it" He knew a pardon was wrong as can be. It's amazing how times change and we lose our values
