Such nostalgia is nice, but even with today's problems, I am not sure I would want to to back to a post WWII world, in the throes of the cold war, McCarthyism, racial oppression, gender and sexual oppression and repression, and etc. We think we had it bad as far as being able to be who we are and express ourselves in today's world, but back then . . . ?
Cool cars, guitars, amps, and such were going then though!
