By 1960, most Americans lived in cities or their suburbs. The sixties were a time of the pillbox hat, bouffant hair, wraparound sunglasses. Nehru jackets, tie-die fabrics, go-go boots, lava lights, and bell-bottom pants. One of the best-selling automobiles of this era was the Ford. Shown below are some of the Fords from the sixties on display in automobile museums.
