Life Magazine, December 22, 1941. This is probably the first issue of the magazine that came out with a deadline after Pearl Harbor (the magazines always came out several days prior to the cover date).

The date is gone from the mutilated cover, but this is the December 22 1941 issue. America had just entered the war.

Didn't realize automobiles knew so much. Today's "American made" cars have an identity crisis, since so much of their innards are made overseas.

I suppose a vacuum cleaner like this was quite an innovation in 1953.
