Yeah, back in that era, 1957, they were driving 1934 Packards - a 23 year old car.

If you formed a tour of 1992 Cadillacs, Lincolns and Chrysler Imperials, then you'd never see a gas company give away free gas, let alone the local town leading the tour with a motorcycle escort. Hell, 1992 autos are daily drivers for a lot of folks today.

So what made things so special back then?
