In the 50's you needed a car that looked and sounded tough, a '55 BelAir Convertible with dual glass pack mufflers would be a good set-up. Or how about a semi-custom '50 Merc, chopped and lowered, lakes pipes, shaved door handles, french headlights, also a good machine. So slick back the DA, Put the top down, Tune in the top 40 DJ and take a ride in the 50's ICON of the American Dream!

Most of cars on this page sold for around $1,700 - $2,300 in the fifties. Value today would be $12,000 to $30,000 depending upon the model and condition.
