America 50s in color

Blogger samsebeskazal says: “Photos from the times when the sky was bluer, the sun brighter, and life was much simpler and freer. Almost all of them were found by me in digitized family archives on flickr. Filmed mainly in Kodachrome, which adds color to an already incredibly colorful time. An interesting observation: according to the results of a long dig in old photos, I found that before the car in the life of an American meant much more than it does now. Almost without exception, everyone took pictures with their cars. You don't see that anymore."

There is no source, since everything is collected by me manually from a dozen accounts on flickr.com.
