Children on their way to school with their lunchboxes and books during the Dust Bowl in the 1930s, wearing cloth coverings and goggles to protect themselves from the heavy dust.
This 1948 photograph from Los Angeles, California, shows a Ford convertible with a gl*** bubble top, a rare customization created by a company that made aircraft canopies for war planes. This eye-catching accessory was being shown off by a Ford dealership, a bold and stylish statement that perfectly captures the optimism and innovation of the post-war era.
