 REMEMBERING THE 50's?

Answers to Remembering the Fifties:

#1 - c) Fender skirts, attached to the rear fenders, covered fully half the wheel streamlining the car.  

#2 - b)  PF Flyers. BF Goodrich patented the Posture Foundation insole, an     innovation in comfort and performance, and began adding the new technology to its action shoes.  In 2001, New Balance acquired the rights to the brand.   
 
#3 - b)  Sticky fly paper hanging from kitchen ceilings was common in American homes until insecticides like Flit became available in '40s.     

#4 - b)  "Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."      
 
#5 -  a)  Baseball cards in the spokes. Who among you never did this?   
  
#6 - c)  1957 Ford Thunderbird. Hard one but, let's face it, easy answer. The option was available only that year.
