Flamboyant fins, embellished fenders, outrageous grilles: chrome details became the calling card of American postwar automotive design. Celebrate the sheer glorious personality of these accents that captured the exuberant and optimistic spirit of the postwar years. Everywhere, flights of fancy abound, captured in breathtaking photographic detail: the fantastic 1948 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet, displayed in the Museum of Modern Art; the 1953 Buick Skylark, with its signature tooth grille; or the classic 1957 Thunderbird. An eloquent tribute to a unique era.

Los Angeles at the end of World War I was poised to become a major metropolitan center as hundreds of thousands of residents from the East and Midwest flocked to the city they eagerly wanted to call home. To serve the growing appetite for news, particularly scandal among the Hollywood set, were six daily newspapers. These newspapers provided a colorful portrait of a city in its awkward adolescence. They rose to power with their own distinct voice. Behind their mastheads reporters and editors strived to build their own agenda, whether to give a voice to the voiceless or to banish minorities from within the city's borders. It's a bold raucous story told by the newspapermen and women who experienced it first-hand, covering the breaking news, scandals, and tragedies of the City of Angeles.
