      It is sad that the American car companies have taken a wrong turn. We made awesome cars once. Todays cars a very lacking in style and quality. No wonder people have turned to cars from other countries. Just look at GM and the millions of recalls on crap cars. Just one example.

      Style I will give you for the most part. Quality? You are either very young or have begun to forget. Remember when you didn't want a car made on a Friday? Horrible alignment of panels, trim etc? Paint runs or overspray/underspray? RUST? Tools left inside body panels? Today's cars are 1000's of times better and more reliable. The complexity of today's cars is staggering compared those of the past. You see them today and think WOW! But to get their, most of the owners have totally rebuilt and re-aligned what they could and you can still see mistakes and imperfections.

    Many of these classic American cars can be seen at car shows every weekend here in Los Angeles and throughout California. I go to the Derelict Donuts car show in Huntington Beach, California quite often, you can see anything from rat rods to 1950's and 1960's Detroit Iron. Cars meet at the Adams Avenue donut shop at 6am, the owners go inside for coffee and donuts and we all walk around the parking lot admiring all the cars.

      @BeverageGuzzler 9 років тому +1

      +Paul Wood Maybe for you it would but it was still a union built GM piece of crap back then. Most 1950s American cars were steaming piles of crap back then and they just happen to be over glamourized turds by those whom actually lived back in those days when they were of age to well remember them but conveniently ignore their poor built quality and reliability issues out of some sense of patriotism and also by those that weren't even alive back then to experience them for themselves but just have some weird preoccupation with a time which they didn't come of age and live through to experience the era for themselves but they just have a fascination with it for some odd reason possibly due to some misguided sense of nostalgia thinking that it's an era all full of wonderful fairytales and princesses possibly due to the happy sentiments shared with them by others that were alive and of age back then speaking of the era favorably and the glossy depiction of the decade by the media. The modern cars of today in the 21st century far bypass 1950s American cars in terms of built quality, gas mileage and reliability but that's something that many American car enthusiasts and nostalgics have difficulty admitting.

Next best thing was to order a die-cast model of it. Years ago when Danbury Mint was selling die-cast models I bought a 1957 Chev Bel Air conv. It was great being a teenager in the 50's.

    The cars of the 50's & 60's, and, to some degree, the 70's, were the most beautiful and wonderful cars ever to be made. Today cars are nearly carbon copies of each other. No personality. No imagination. No creativity. Made of cheap plastic and aluminum. People get "wowed" by the electronic gadgets in the dash and pay no attention to how cheap the cars are. Also, the cars of today are built with obsolescence built in. They are not made to last. The cars featured in this video were meant to last a generation: 20 to 25 years, at least. Sigh. I wish there was some way I could go back in time to the 50's and 60's. It was a much better country than it is today. This country is rotting/decaying away. It isn't as great as it once was.

    This when cars had style. How I wish I had my parents 60 Chevy convertible or my uncle Larry's 58 Impala 2dr. hardtop or my cousin Edward's 62 Impala 2dr. All 3 were outstanding.

    We will never be able to recreate this era again,
    This era was a real gift to America after all the wars, death, famine, depression, economic disaster, this was our prize for enduring it all,
    Man I wish I could have seen it.

    why can't cars be that cool today? i looked at a Kia soul a few months ago. it cost a hundred dollars a month, that's why. the whole engine bay was covered in plastic. the cab was mounted to the engine that was mounted to the front axle and transmission that was mounted to the wheels. it could have been more structurally sound if it had some duct tape and Velcro. not to mention you have to be a computer engineer to work on it...

    That's neat! Yea those cars were a pain to keep running right. Major tune up every 10K miles. 10 mpg. The smell of gasoline and exhaust fumes on the road. I miss those days.

    Nice presentation but I wonder why one of the most impressive cars of the 50's are usually missed; the Oldsmobile 1957 super 88 and 98 series. Not only beautiful but tremendously powerful with their V8 rocket engines. You always can find tons of Chevys, Fords, Caddys, Chryslers and so on.

    My 2 favorite cars from the 60s are the 1965 Impala Super Sport and the 1965 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight. Both as convertibles, painted candy-apple red. Unfortunately, if I get one today, I'd have to board it elsewhere, as I don't have a garage. Why 1965? It was a great year for music and Detroit had its best sales that year. You made a beautiful video.

    Corvair was super dangerous to drive Ralph Nader got famous with a book about it he published titled "Unsafe at Any Speed" the Corvair had a tendency to flip over on turns if you went too fast into a turn the Corvair would roll over it happened to a lot of people.

      Apparently, the 1962 version was a coffin on wheels. They slightly improved the handling in 1964 but still...😵‍💫😖☠️

    I was born in 1950 and from the beginning, I loved cars! My Aunt DIDi had a Rio Red 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible which I adored! My dad said he was bringing home a new Chevy but alas, it was a DelRay with one option - a heater!
