I think you have a point Slay, it may have had something to do with pretention because it certainly would not have been practical to own a '50s boat in Paris as they were known to be gas guzzlers (gas is very expensive in Paris), as well, just driving one of those boats down a narrow side street in Paris would have been extremely difficult, let alone to park it. (People park half on the sidewalk & half on the street and think nothing of it.) Plus they drive like maniacs over there and a big car like that would have been in their way and just get honked at. The majority of cars in Paris are Citreons. Anyway, the car he ended up buying looked like a '57 Chevy. Twink

Yes, I know Eames Chairs and Mid Modern Danish Teak furniture is expensive, but they are the exception and not exactly flooding the market like a lot of 50s/60's stuff is, like plastic outdoor funiture and "Lava" lamps, I mean you cannot compare a "Lava" lamp to an ART DECO Lamp. My point being, there is lots of cheap and reasonable 50s/60s stuff out there as opposed to Art Deco which was never made cheaply in the first place ! It's a matter of Quality as well as Style. An Eames chair is unique, but as far as style, still does not compare to any Art Deco chair. To me, ART DECO Furniture And DECOR looks Glamorous And Sexy ! You can't possibly compare either, to '50s furniture Or '50s decor ?! Twink

"Mid-Century Modern" has never been "hotter"..... ..in other words, Vintage '50s/'60s , it maybe 'hot' but it is also easy to find and affordable as opposed to Art Deco items . I think Fred is right, Mid-Century Modern ( or Vintage 50s') does look like cheap knock-off of Art Deco, you can't compare the two. That would be like comparing a Volkswagen to a Mercedes. I'm sure if Art Deco were plentiful And reasonable, it would overtake the '50s craze. Twink

It seemed odd to see so many American Cars in one area as you Rarely see Any American cars in Paris, let alone so many. Twink

That couch looks comfy, perfect for watching movies on TV !
