Car culture was on the rise. There were photos shown of cars from Chrysler, Ford, Hudson, and Chevrolet. The vehicles were sleek and many models were built for large families.

The American diner was immensely popular as well. People could be seen hanging out in the parking lot in their cars. McDonald’s was already open during this decade.
