    When someone mentions the 1960’s, what do you think about? Do you think about the war in Vietnam, the Apollo 11 mission, or the Civil Rights movement? If you’ve ever thought about the Civil Right’s Movement; have you thought about whose philosophy was better for the 1960’s, was it Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X.

    Michael O’Neal explains in, America in the 1920’s, that, “Henry Ford’s Model T Automobile helped end isolation of rural life, gave people more personal freedom, and transformed into people constantly on the move” (6). The Model T was a success, and had many people coming forward to buy it. It was used as transportation and sometimes for sport. In Fashions of a Decade the 1920’s, it says, “ auto racing became a popular and spectacular sport while happy family motoring was enjoyed by many” (Herald 6). Henry Ford’s car was used for affordable transportation and was prized for its low cost, durability, versatility and ease of maintenance. The Model T was intended to be “a farmer’s car,” that served the transportation needs of a nation of farmers. There was a demand for basic transportation in the 20’s that the Model T had met tended increasingly to be filled from the backlog of used cars piling up in the dealers’ lots as the market became saturated.

Before the Camaro, the Mustang and Barracuda were not quite considered full muscle cars. Most serious performance enthusiasts still opted for intermediate sized GTO's or the Chevelle Super Sports (SS). The Camaro changed the image of those sport coupes. (Camaros, Eric Ethan)…

    Some may call it the "fabulous fifties," but others call it a time of "tensions and insecurities." Several people think back on the fifties and remember them as the "good old days," while others think of it as a time of crisis and terror. Although Americans were faced with many hardships throughout the fifties, I think that the positive aspects such as the new technologies, growing economy, higher focus on education, and growing job opportunities of the era outnumber the negative aspects, such as racism that African Americans faced, and the changing roles of women, making the fifties an overall "happy" period in American history.…
