Publisher's Synopsis
Filled with colourful memorabilia, never-before-published vintage photos, and carefully researched historical text, this coffee table book covers the phenomenon of the 1950s and the society that created a cultural explosion. Readers will cruise in hot rods to the drive-in theatre, learn how McDonald's inspired a fast-food revolution, and see the suburban spread of stylish tract homes, supermarkets, coffee shops, bowling alleys and shopping centres. Anyone who loves pop culture will relish every page of this retro treasury. Illustrated in full-colour throughout.
