44 seconds. A fast time for me. Don’t remember the 50s but surely remember the splash they made.

With a pic of a 50s car, I wasn’t expecting words like Polio and Korea. So it took me a while to figure out this was anything that occurred in the 1950, car related or not. Also came up with a couple other valid words that sounded 50s before I hit on Elvis.

I had to use reveal on 4 letters. I needed to have hints on the first two words: Korea and Polio. I solved the other 3 words but had little difficulty spelling sputnik. I loved the 1950’s. My favorite singers were Elvis, Little Richard, Fabian, Chubby Checker, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, the Platters, and the Everly Brothers. I am sure I am leaving a few singers and groups out. It was a fine time. I remember going to the theater where two motion pictures were shown with cartoons and Lowell Thomas Newsreels between the two movies. You could stay all day in the theater viewing the movies more than once. Cost of a movie ticket was 25 cents. For around 3 dollars you could buy a coke, popcorn, and a few candy bars. I remember taking the Staten Island Ferry for 5 cents, the New York City Sub way for 5 cents, and loving the introduction of new cars models by the auto manufacturers in late September and early October. These good times have passed but the memories remain.

I really bombed on this one (5:17). I was born in 1950. I used hints for each word except for the final word. I had that before solving any of the words. Go figure.

The third one could also be “evils”, but I guess that only applies to the last couple of years.

Growing up on the farm in the 50’s I remember wearing Levi’s most of the time. I guess that came to mind ahead of ‘Elvis’.

:58. Unlike many others, the first 2 popped right out to me. I would have been quicker, but misspelled the Russian rocket.
