    Our family had a 1956 Ford Country Sedan just like the white one parked at the gas station, minus the whitewall tires. Drove back and forth from Washington State to Arkansas every summer in it, very good car.

    Later, in the same show, Lucy and Desi watch the entire process at the Ford dealer. Interesting that most '57 Fords didn't come painted the same way as this retractable...Colonial White was most often used for the fender tops and the area around the window, while a darker color (Torch Red, Dresden Blue, etc.) was used on the rest of the body

    Yes, sex sells. Now AND 1950. But the Olds was a car far ahead of it's time with the 303 overhead valve V8. They were winners on the NASCAR circuit. I've done a lot of reading on them mainly cause I have a 52 Olds Super 88 sitting in my garage

    • @joshuas8258
      @joshuas8258 2 роки тому

      The earlier 50s had less changes but the mid/late 50s had massive changes. A 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 and 61 Ford were drastically different cars than the year before. In the 2020s it would take over 10 + years to see the style evolution that happened between the 56 and 59 Ford

    • @gcfifthgear
      @gcfifthgear Рік тому

      The great irony of that statement is that all cars from any given decade looked "the same." Take a look at any given stretch of highway today and try--just try!--to identify the make, model and year of the passing cars. The more things change...

    oh no it isnt...my comments are right on the money. This is just something you dont know anything about and indeed if you did it wouldnt be as effective! Its about using subliminal sex messages in 1950s advertising to sell things. Go off and read Vance Packard's book from the late 50s "The Persuaders" or the recently published "The Secret Sales Pitch" by August Bullock. Or just google "subliminal sex messages in 1950s advertsing"

    ive done alot of research on the rocket 88 - GMC was the first to experiment with smaller angle heads. this made for better flow numbers, more combustion efficiently with no recessed dome combustion chamber and it also upped the CR. the blocks were different too - i want to say something with the water jackets? cant remember off the top of my head. great car - way before its time. now small degree heads are all over the place for aftermarket drag racing and performance.
