This book Fifties Flashback: The American Car illustrates the spirit of the post World War II America and the era of tail fins, big chrome, and glitzy trim created by Detroit automotive stylists. Here is the complete story of Detroit as it emerged from the war and geared up to produce the first completely new automobiles since the 30s. In depth interviews with Ford, General Motors (GM), and Chrysler stylists take you into the Detroit design studios and executive board rooms of the 50s, and behind the scenes at Packard, Studebaker, Hudson, and Nash.

Author Mr. Dennis Adler has photographed some of the most significant cars of the 50s and compiled a history that details the emerging postwar auto industry and the influence the automobile had on the American landscape throughout the decade. The artistry of his sensational large format photography and period photo locations parallel this spectacular saga of an American era unlike any other.
