MY LIFE IN 1953

Did y' all know that in 1953 we were so starved for things to do that we would just git in the family car and just drive around the town for something to do... yep, that was life back then... just a simple life that was neato keen.

It was a very exciting time when the new cars came out in September each year... we would head down to each car dealer's showroom and take a gander at them... no... no... no... we didn't have the money to buy one... we just went to look at them... just like my Mama and I would go look at the model homes at the new subdivisions on Sunday afternoon... and no, no, no, we definitely weren't buying them, either... just window shopping.... we also did that, too... just go downtown and do some window shopping at the stores on Dauphin Street in Mobile or Canal Street in New Orleans.

Thought y' all might want to see all of the new 1953 cars... note the vivid pastel colors... and note the white sidewall tires... and two-tone paint jobs... and fender skirts.
