From 1950 to 2010…It’s Been Quite a Ride!

Way back in 1950…things were different. Cars were different, people were different. Almost anything you point to today either didn’t exist…or was brand new…your TV for example. Only 52% of all homes in the US had a TV. But virtually everyone did have one car. Henry Ford saw to that in the early part of the Century with mass production using standardized parts. The family car became affordable. Cars had carburetors back then. Fuel injection didn’t start until the late Fifties…and then only on race cars. All cars were domestic. Well 99% of them were. No one had any idea what an import was other than a Jaguar or an MG. VW was just barely known. I like to think cars had individual personalities back then. You could easily tell a Cadillac from a Mercury from a Chrysler. Kids loved to watch for their favorite car coming past them while they rode with Mom and Dad. Well cars may be more accessible to people today, but I’ll take a 1950 Cadillac Convertible any day.
