That is a car. The topic of today's post is the last decade of the fifties. I'm trying to think of something significant about that specific, but I'm drawing a blank. I think that 50's and 60's have been overblown as a generational phenomenon. Everything happened then--The Cold War, the Baby Boom, The Beatles, Bob Dylan. Modern architecture sunk its claws into the neck of culture and kept them firmly for the next several decades. Meanwhile, ranch houses and split levels proliferated across the suburbs and people parked cars like this in freshly paved driveways. And what a time it was. I wouldn't trade in today for then for all the tea in China.
