The 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL American Cars of 1956: Two-Tone Paint, Chrome & Timeless Style

In 1956, Elvis was on every radio, the interstate highways were signed into law, and Detroit painted its cars in two and even three colors at once. It was the year the fifties style grew up, just before the tailfins took over. In this episode we look at ten of the most beautiful American cars of 1956, from the clever Rambler Cross Country and the Flo-tone Mercury Montclair to the Indy pace car DeSoto, the last true Packard Caribbean, the Cadillac Eldorado and the hand-built Continental Mark II. For each car we find one hidden detail, meet the people behind the design and look at the numbers and stories that made it special.
