The 1960s were a time when American made cars ruled the industry. Detroit dominated the automobile market in America and held its own overseas.
The 1960s became a time for increased speed and performance. Safety features such as seatbelts, power steering and brakes made their way into manufacturing, too.
Things were to change for the American automobile dynasty as the world entered the 1970s and foreign manufacturers became fierce competition.
Here below is a cool and impressive photo collection of car advertisements in the late 1950s and 1960s.
