All fine and dandy but it's you who should go back to Russia or Cuba because these are the only places where stuff still looks as you like it.
I could also point out how many people could afford a car back then and how many can do that now, and how you today have the luxury to choose between such an old, nice car and something that can safely transport your kids without costing you a fortune. But I don't want to spoil the nostalgia, as I'm frequently a victim of it too. :)

The hideous, garish designs and cultural chaff get forgotten over time, and the impressive things are what people save and remember. The fifties had plenty of crap just like every other decade, it's just that nobody cares to remember it.
Cliché.

Much love for the Fury, but if you're talking Plymouth I'd have to go with a lime green 1971 Barracuda convertible.
All fine achievements to be sure, but if I need some trashy Detroit iron, gimme a 1971 340 Wedge with a fastback full of stubbies and a pair of blue stripe Adidas to mash the pedals. As a disclaimer, I was pretty new off the assembly line myself at that point, but damn, it was cool.

'58 Edsel Pacer. ZOMG. YES.
I've been in love with that car since, like, the age of fifteen or so. And one day, I'm telling you, I'll get one!
I'll have to settle for a '97 Ford Scorpio for now. Who knows, with the roaring success it totally failed to make, it'll be as valuable as the Edsel by 2057...
