In the 50's we rode our bikes to each dealers back lot to see the latest Detroit design
changes. Grabbed brocures if we could to see what new engines and colors and options
were available. Chevy's new '53 Corvette, Chrysler's Hemi, Mercury '57 Turnpike Cruiser,
Ford's '57 retractable conv, the new $10,000 Continental, Edsel, plus no foreign cars.
I could go on and on. Besides just cars, my mother didn't have to work, Eisenhower built
the interstate highway system in 4 years, etc...... Gee, I wonder what happened in the
mid 1960's to change everything ? You young guys will never know what a great country this was.
