Top 5 Cars in the 1950's!

1) 1951 Studebaker Champion

This car was produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend Indiana from 1939 through 1958. It was popular since it is a full size car and could be great for those who had a family.

This car looks like it is from the future and would be great for road trips as well. It comes with a variety of colors and suit it very well too.

2) 1953 Buick Roadmaster Skylark

This car was produced by a company named Buick and first came out in 1953. Many people loved this car because not only was it fancy as you drove by but was great for taking the whole family to places.

While not all were built as the designated family car there were ones that were known as a muscle car. This vehicle came in many different colors and were the focus on movies as well.

3) 1953 Porsche 550 Spyder

This sports car was produced by Porsche from 1953 through 1956. Many men loved to buy this car and to show off their material wealth.

It was even stated that James Dean the actor had this exact same car. Although this car may not be good for families but may be good for eye candy.

4) 1954 Cadillac Eldorado

This car was produced by Cadillac from 1952 through 2002 and was considered a luxury car at the time. I do have to say the images of these types of cars look so long and would be hard to parallel park.

The Cadillac can be considered a family car and it does have a lot of space for one. The curb weight was 4,900-5,100 lb

5) 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 SL

These types of cars are produced by the Mercedes Benz company from 1954 through 1963. This car was considered a sports car. grand tourer categories.

Some of them are the typical ones from those who drove Mercedes in the London streets and others look like from what was supposed to be our future. They have the doors that fly up in the air when they open and can be designated as a family car too.

1950's Western Women Hairstyles

I would say that women in the 1950’s had good hairstyles. You mostly see women with short hair than long. Do not get me wrong I have seen women with long hair, but it was rare since the trend at that time was to have short hair that was curly. I am a full supporter with women with dark brown hair with curls. I do like that they did not think of women with short hair as portraying too close to be looking like men or that they were copying their hairstyle. It is not a competition at all. All genders can choose to have their short or long if they wish too. Society did have the image that women with short hair were housewives, medium for young, and long for Hollywood pin ups. Which I do not think that women should abide by these. I am fond of women having short hair so that there is less to do with it. I am personally one who likes to keep her hair short as I do not have patience for long hair. When going to salons in the 1950’s it was a lot easier to style or cut someone’s hair...

What Was Good About 1950's Cars?

I have to say that 1950’s cars look like they are from a whole different universe. What I love about these cars are the white streak around the front of each of the tires. You have many car brands such as the Packard, Mercury, Chevrolet Corvette, Hudson, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Skylar, and more! I personally have to say the Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite looks wise. Many people who had cars in this era were more towards those with some wealth. I noticed that a lot of the percentage of people walked, biked, or took the bus to wherever they were going. Not everyone in the 1950’s had a car but those who did had some money. Lots of these cars were geared towards couples who had children as well. The cars back in this time period came in many colors, which I love! Today many people have bland colors on their cars. Which are their preference but cars with unique or cool colors really stand out. When looking through pictures of...

The Story of Hilliard Brooks Jr's Murder

In 1950 on August 13, a 22-year old man named Hilliard Brooks Jr. was murdered on a bus after he was accused of making a disturbance. Back in these days what was the disturbance, was he talking back because he had to stick up for himself or was it because he was protecting someone else? Some reports were very unjust and plain unfair in my opinion. The reason he was accused of this was because be refused to leave and enter from the rear bus as Jim Crow wanted him to. This bus driver called the police and a white officer shot this black man and wounded two people in the process. All because Jim Crow and the bus driver were trying to be big bosses and choose violence when they woke up that day. Brooks left behind a pregnant wife and several young children. Even though many eye witnesses reported that the shooting was unnecessary, the officer faced no charges. After this many people were outraged over how this all went down and set the stage for the...
