The Buick Skylark had one of the biggest engines of the decade! (And my personal favorite from this list, I mean, just look at the video below! I wanna make a bid so bad!)

The car also had technology that made it shift much easier than other cars. It also had power steering, power brakes, and a convertible top. In 1953, a new one would cost about $4,500.

2. 1959 Chevy Corvette

Many people know and love Corvettes. Near the end of the ’50s, this Corvette had more chrome and a bigger engine.

There were many different options as well, including different speeds and you could choose automatic or manual.

3. 1959 Pontiac Bonneville

In 1959, the brand Pontiac had been around for about 50 years already! They wanted to create a new and unique car and the Bonneville was born.

It was one of the longest cars in that time and had a lot of horsepower. That orange paint job in the Bonneville below in the video is gorgeous too. Love it!

4. 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk

Many people know the Studebaker brand for their front ends. If you’re familiar with a Packard, this car was essentially just a remake of the Packard after Studebaker bought them out.

They made sure to make the front end look like a Studebaker, though!

5. 1954 Hudson Hornet Hollywood

This vehicle was very important to NASCAR. It won many races with different legends like Herb Thomas. So, you know it was fast! Many people called it “The Fabulous Hudson Hornet.” Enjoy a nice walk around of a beautiful ’54 Hudson Hornet below!
