The second world war brought with it years of a dormant civilian
automotive industry, mostly due to its focus on the production of
warcraft tanks etc. When the war was over, along with peace and
prosperity it brought with it a new air of optimism. Rather than
focusing on day to day survival, people were finally looking to the
future with hope and this attitude was shared across all aspects of
modern life, the automotive industry being no exception.
In 1953 General Motors, responsible for cars like Buick, Cadillac,
Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac, held it's first of 8 motor shows
under the name of
GM Motorama sending the previously
starved auto enthusiasts into a frenzy. The shows featured, out of this
world, futuristic dream cars of the likes that no one had ever seen
before with designs that would still be considered futuristic.
