The cars of the 1950's were known for wings out back and big, gleaming chrome trim and bumpers up front. Don't forget the hubcaps- chrome plated steel, not the plastic "wheel covers" of today.
The front ends of many of these classic machines are works of art in their own right. The 1955 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 inspired the hit song of the same name with its big, beautiful but tasteful design.
Why not celebrate Big Chrome Day by visiting the Cosmos Great Art online store and stocking up on classic car wall art, Tee-Shirts, Coffee Mugs and more awesome merch.
