I grew up in the 1950s-60s, I'm not sure you wouldn't have found the reality slightly different. The USA was most likely better, but post war Britain was a fairly grey uninspiring place. We still had food rationing and most stuff we take for granted now was unavailable. There were good things like more personal freedom and I think that in general people were more polite and looked out for each other.
We tend to take for granted modern medicine, foreign travel and leisure time that just didn't exist back then.
No internet in those days, so nothing like this forum. I still drive 1950s cars and ride the motorcycles, there are three 1950s m/cycles a few yards from where I sit writing this, but if I neded to ride in comfort over a long distance my modern BMW is what I'll use.
