Modern clothing and home furnishings were only one aspect of this haute couture movement, with cars playing an important role as a distinct fashion accessory for the well-to-do. The surge in car ownership after the war played a large part in the beautiful and striking designs that came forth during the 1950s. The arcing and long-line frames of the 1940s lines slowly morphed into smaller vehicles, with more personality and detail. Two-seater \"metropolitans\" and coupes became common. Most windscreens were no longer split, and thus became wider and longer, allowing for a brighter, peppier look. Perfectly round headlights now commonly added a tubular detail in front where the hood of the car dipped down, creating the eventual inspiration for the back fins of later cars. The British Motor Corporation remained at the forefront of 1950s car design, having inherited Austin, Riley, Morris, Wolseley, and MG during the merger of the Austin Motor Company and the Nuffield Organization in 1952. This led the way for the beloved Austin-Healey 100 line of sports cars, which spanned most of the 1950s, and inspired many other vehicles. The Morris Cowley is another vehicle which embodied a large area of car design across the board during the 1950s. It\'s four door design and wider windscreen hearkens back to 1950s design, but does away with much of the excess length and running boards. While many of the cars in the United Kingdom and the United States shared similar design appearance, each make had its own unique touches. The style that ruled appealed to many, then and now, as perfection in car design and that high level of beauty has not been approached since. The styles were clean, uncluttered, yet sophisticated. They matched in every sense the image that the world wished to present after the war: cultured and mature, the peak of civilization. The clothing, the cars, the buildings, and the entire culture was moving forward in a mad dash to escape the brushes with insanity encountered during the War, and the absolute incivility of what had occurred. While social circles may have put on false airs for false pretenses, the cars of the 1950s remain beacons of inspiration to all designers, and beloved for their timeless, graceful style. ### My YouTube Channel Information Subscribe to my channel: https://goo.gl/Ywk71f My most recent upload: https://goo.gl/rY5eSK My most popular upload: https://goo.gl/YUCtio ### Acknowledgements This presentation contains images that were used under a Creative Commons License.
