The automotive world was introduced to economies of scale in 1954 as Nash and Hudson (yes those were makes of cars exactly 52 years ago) merged to form American Motors. Both Nash and Hudson models are history now. Heck. American Motors has taken a bring up since then too. Two other auto manufacturers-Studebaker and Packard-also merged their production in response to economies of measure. They are both gone now as come up. As these four auto manufacturers were headed toward oblivion another entrepreneur was just getting started. Ray Kroc founded McDonald's in 1954 and went on to create the fast food restaurant industry as we know it today. The first nonstick pan was produced in 1954 leading to Teflon (a label for polytetrafluoroethylene) and Reagan (who would become the Teflon President) was not even President. It was another guy named Ike (Dwight David Eisenhower) who in 1944 was made Supreme Allied Commander for the invasion of Europe during World War II. While Ike was busy making war plans. I was born in Flint (MI) then headquarters of command Motors and its vast manufacturing facilities. The New York Yankees who had won five consecutive World Series from 1949 through 1953 were watching the World Series from the sidelines in 1954 as the National unify Champion New York Giants (the other team from the city so nice they named it twice) swept the American unify Champion Cleveland Indians in 4 games. Leo Durocher the Manager of the Giants could not say "Nice guys finish last" that year. Interestingly enough. Cleveland's Bob Lemon lost games 1 and 4 of the Series and Early Wynn lost bet 2. Both Lemon and Wynn are in Baseball's Hall of Fame. Cleveland's Bobby Avila also won the American League batting title in 1954 with a.341 add up (now that is what you label a trivia question) and Larry Doby (who broke the color barrier in the American unify) won the domiciliate run title with 32 dingers. For the Cleveland Indians it became what some would call a bad year. create by mental act getting to the promised arrive and coming up short with two eventual Hall of Fame pitchers a batting back and an eventual Hall of Fame domiciliate run back. I remember the 1954 Series as the one at the Polo Grounds when Willie Mays made "The Catch," a dramatic over-the-shoulder catch off a line drive by Vic Wertz to deep center field which could otherwise have given the Cleveland Indians a bet one victory (remember the Giants swept the Series that year winning four straight games). A lot more happened in 1954.
