One more example of the exuberance of the 50’s automobile manufacturers is the Ford Skyliner available from 1957 to 1959. It was a wonder to see the hardop retract and fold into the trunk. This commercial with Lucy and Ricky captures something about the feel of the 50’s. You just naturally expected Lucy and Ricky to be dressed up. Today they would probably wear ratty sweats. You can see what is coming as well with the banter as Lucy takes charge. Women are serious and men are silly even though that wasn’t the theme in ‘I Love Lucy‘ where Lucy was always doing silly things.
A more contemporary appreciation of the Skyliner from a car auction shows off the syle that the car still shows today.
Love it Ralph, do you have any interest in european classics?

Of course. I just don’t know as much about them. I grew up with the American ones. I did post about the 2CV recently.
