Cars are a time capsule on four wheels. They reflect a culture's style, technology, economic health, fears and desires. American Metal covers this country's golden age of automobile lust, beginning around WWII and ending in the '70s.
This is when cars were made in America, GIs were coming home to start families, rock 'n' roll was here to stay and advertising was revving up with each change.
