I presume you meant current American culture...

Dating from the 60's backward America made some pretty beautiful things...



Last Saturday I saw a car very much like this caddie, not everyones cup of tea I know...

Original paint, original interior, original hub caps, all the chrome was intact, 43K original miles, "runs great and everything works". (no price)

My wife was patient while I stopped to go over and check it out (she is not a car person)

When I got back in the car she just looked at my face and said "honey If I I would buy it for you."





I could go on... post pictures of art deco locomotives, Indian motorcycles, the sweeping American automobiles from the 30's and 40's...

But you get the idea (and I need to get back to work )
