Looking for a good historical overview of life in the US from 1945-1950

auto-mats, greyhound buses, Pan-Am, radio, TV etc. Pop culture and day-to-day life. A book with lots of pictures would be ideal.
The Americana Annual (1946), "an encyclopedia of events of 1945".
Unfortunately, the annuals for years 1947 to 1951 appear not to have been scanned.

This Fabulous Century (1940-1950) This is a series of books from Time-Life , each volume covering a decade from 1890 thru 1970. They're long out of print, but you can find copies of individual volumes for less than $5 each. I read them years ago when I was a teen and loved them. Tons and tons of great pictures, cause hey it's from Time-Life.
