The Fifties Decade year by year in a colorful and informative layout that only Dan Lyons can master! As a Classic Car enthusiast and owner of over 1000 car books I rank this at the top!
I especially enjoy the original colour advertisements as they appeared in 50's magazines. As a Baby Boomer I can relive each year one by one of the Fabulous Fifties in this Great Book.
This is a Must have for all you 50's Lovers and Baby Boomers!

The 1950s were the heyday of innovative American automobile design, a fact celebrated by CARS OF THE FANTASTIC '50s, a survey of the most memorable vehicles of the times. The colorful tri-tones and chrome, wild design features, and glamorous embellishments come alive in a presentation featuring photographer Dan Lyons' lovely full-page colour shots. Add in vintage colour ads and plenty of background history and you have a keepsake coffee table display with outstanding depth and detail.

This book is perfect for car enthusiasts everywhere. It has full
colour pictures of popular autos, as they appeared in the 1950s.
For instance, the Buick Roadmaster is shown with a sporty-open top,
chromium grill, insignia and metal striping. The Mercury V8 is a
312 cu. in. engine with thunderbolt striping and a tire mount in
the rear. A 1955 Cadillac Eldorado is shown, as well as the
DeSoto Fireflite. This acquisition is filled with nostalgia for
car enthusiasts everywhere. It is priced reasonably.
