Those post war cabins...[PIC]

Be it an entry level Chevy or a high end Cadillac, the cabin were all family sized with generous leg and head room that was never seen again. I remember looking through my father's Popular Mechanics collection and reading their report on the new 1955 Chevrolet. One of the owner's remarks was a complaint that to enter the car, he had to take his hat off (!). In those pre-vinyl days, the upholstery was sumptuous with intricate stitching on the door cards. The dash was a combination of chromed 'juke box' designed instrument clusters set in real or faux wood dash. Interiors like on this DM '48 Chevy Fleetline Aerosedan really bring back nostalgia. I can almost smell the interior. As a teen in the '60s, I always enjoyed when my neighbors grandparent would visit. They looked like the couple in Grant Wood's "American Gothic". They drove an all black, absolutely mint Aerosedan that they had bought new and I don't think they ever drove it over 25mph. (he always shifted from first to second at 5 mph!). I had dreams of buying the car and doing some wild engine upgrade. Sadly they died and I don't know what ever happened to the car.
