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.
