It really was America in the 50's today at my local garage, as not one, but two of the local 1950's American cars showed up on the forecourt, both immaculately kept and fabulously preserved both inside and out.
The first was a 1962 Ford Thunderbird, sporting the flared rear end and lavished wheel to roof in glistening chrome, a true motor for the discerning road-goer of the rock n' roll era.
The second was from the other side of the American motoring market, rugged practicality, and that was summed up in the 1950's by the Chevy Advanced Design. This particular model being a 1951 Chevy 3100 (½-ton).
There is a hidden gem museum in the small town of Portland, TN which is worth the drive from Nashville. It started as a private collection of tractors, but has expanded to much more, including multiple forms of transportation: Cars (hot rods, race cars, Volkswagens, 1920s, etc.), trucks, motorcycles, fire engines, a couple of planes and a caboose. Other highlights include vintage toys, cameras, and Maytag.
In addition to photos, I took a video tour of the museum, inside and out:
