The styling and performance of American cars have always historically reflected the feelings of the times that they were designed and sold in. The art deco streamliners of the 1930s represented beacons of optimism during the Great Depression. The land yachts of the 1950s with their elevated tail fins were a symbol of post-WWII prosperity, and the powerful muscle cars of the 1960s illustrated the fascination America was developing with pure performance. Courtesy of Westbury Toyota, we survey some examples of perfectly represented the feeling of the times.
