Warning: you may have a strong sense of nostalgia watching this! In 1950s America, a gas station wasn’t just a place to buy fuel – it was a place to be welcomed. An attendant, as well dressed as a fireman or policeman, greeted you with a smile, checked your oil, cleaned your windshield and even looked under the hood like a technician – all before you even stepped out of the car. However, these were also the days of toxic leaded gasoline. This compilation takes you on a journey through the golden age of American life from the swing era to the suburban revolution, where the average American mother had 3.5 children while living on a single salary of $4,400 that could actually buy a house.
