Cars of the 1950s Postcard Book
Postcard books are one of our favorite publishing projects, because they give us the opportunity to share material that doesnt fit easily into a book or other project. In this book we will celebrate the automobile in one of its most glorious decades the 1950s when Detroit ruled and environmental concerns were, or so we thought, decades away. For the post-World War II generation the car represented freedom and the cars themselves reflected this. They were majestic, stylish, and unafraid to be bold. The cars of the 1950s were show-offs and in this postcard book we celebrate that fact with 30 vintage images replete with fins, whitewalls, deluxe trim packages and elaborate bumpers.
