Typical American: Car Culture

American Car Culture is prevalent in the results for Typical Americans, which shouldn’t come as any surprise when you consider some of the associations people outside of America have with the classic cars from the 1950s and 1960s in particular. Here we see these same classic cars appearing, sometimes as the main subject, frequently as a prized trophy, and occasionally as a rusted relic from the past or a piece of furniture. These selections were taken from hundreds of options where cars appeared out of over 2,500 generations.
