  1. I can just imagine what those houses look like now if they're still standing.

  2. The newest car I see is a 51, so that must be when the movie was shot. I don't know who took all these street scene movies but I wish there was even more of them. Lots of pre-war cars still on the road back then. Fascinating! Thanks for posting.

  3. The newest car I see is a 51, and lots of them. Imagine driving around back then! Many pre-war cars still on the road, too. I'd love to look around the used car lot they passed.

  4. 48 Packard at 0:12; 48 Buick Special at 0:20; and 48 Kaiser at 2:27. All appear to be new. That must be the year.

  5. I love how the trolley tracks cross over one another. What a feat of engineering. This was America and we threw it all away. I hope everyone's happy.

  6. The best car show you could possibly ask for. All you had to do was walk out into the sidewalk and look around. No homeless tents, either. Wow!

  7. Yes, no trash, including the 2-legged kind!

  8. Excellent video! I wish it could have gone on for ever!

  9. I don' 'know who shot all the footage of street scenes in various cities but I sure am glad he did. Looks like 46-7-8 to me and a nice place to visit.I like the pedestrians in the middle of the street with no protection from errant automobiles. We didn't worry about stuff like that back then. We did all right.

  10. Fabulous! Thank you for posting. The car next to the 40 Buick in the opening scenes looks like a 34 Lafayette. The camera car was obviously burning a lot of oil.

  11. The newest cars I saw were 1937 so I'm think that's the year. I love the trolleys, too.

  12. Some of the best vintage footage I've ever seen. Thanks for posting. Did anyone notice all the Checker taxi cabs?

  13. Absolutely beautiful. Everyone's well dressed, just going about their business. No blurred out faces. No one seems concerned about being on film. I didn't know Southern Pacific cab forwards were used in passenger service. I thought they were a freight engine. And What do these neighborhoods look like today?

  14. The infrastructure is amazing. All that had to be transported to this island nation far from the US mainland.

  15. Hard to believe what we once had and threw it all away.

  16. There is a disclaimer not historically accurate. Even with no sounds it's great to watch.

  17. Money went a lot further back then. We were also on the gold standard. A coin had real value. A 2-1/2 dollar gold piece was about the size of a dime.

  18. Interesting how many pre-war models wee still on the road in 1950. My grandmother was still driving a 1931 Ford Model A at that time. She kept it until 1962.

  19. I love the cars!

  20. Culture change and not for the better.

  21. The newest car I saw was a 49 Pontiac, so I guess that's the date. Does it still look like this today?No wonder people wanted to go to CA back then. Not so much today, I think.

  22. Was.

  23. Customers can have any color they want as long as it's black - Henry Ford.

  24. Rather embarrassing for the nation's Capitol, wouldn't' you say?

  25. Homeless encampments, devoid in this video, add such a nice touch to today's LA.

  26. Motorists in this video could use some driving lessons. I see a lot of passing on the right and no one yielding to pedestrians. The cops in the street are really taking their lives in their own hands. The newest car I saw was 1937 so I assume that's when the movie was taken. I saw some very expensive cars as well as more common models. I think a fleeting glimpse of a Duesenberg went by, but not sure. Can anyone ID the car at 5:04? There's a good shot of it but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.

  27.  @davido5058  Don't expect any logic or common sense from a Trump hater. The ass clown in the White House now, who's sure to lead us to war, is what America voted hell bent on "Getting Trump." Enjoy the monster you've turned loose, guys. Smart move.

  28. The newest car I see is a 51 so I guess that's the date. Whose bright idea was it to allow this beautiful place to degenerate to what it is today?

  29. St. Petersburg.

  30. Absolutely!

  31. I was wondering whee the trolleys got their power from and though it might be that slot between the tracks. Thanks for clearing that up.

  32. Incredible infrastructure. We had all that manufacturing capability even back then.

  33.  @WitchKing-Of-Angmar  OK, whatever. I enjoyed the film.

  34. I was thinking the same thing.

  35. Lots of kids out playing without worrying about being kidnapped or shot. What's this neighborhood like today? It must be around 1946 or '47. Those are the newest cars I saw but most are pre-war. New cars probably weren't readily available yet.

  36. Are you being serious or sarcastic?

  37. Newest car I saw was 1954.

  38. Looks like 1948 to me. Interesting hOw many Model A FoRds wee still on the road then. My grandmother bought a used on in 1946 and drove it until 1962.

  40. All in China now thanks to the geniuses in the White House starting with Clinton.

  41.  @cozmorio  Nice to know the house and tree are still around.

  42.  @santosbanuelos6661  Right.

  43. I wouldn't want to put up with winters like this but they seem to love it. Everyone's getting around just fine in their old, rear-wheel-drive cars. Nice 58 Buick convertible at 3:13.

  44. Back then, yes. I wonder about now.

  45.  @AutomatedPersonnelUnit_3947  The liberals today wouldn't like that!

  46. What's wrong with what we see here?

  47.  @islandprincess9666  I see the liberals have laid their guilt trip on you.

  48. They weren't. They got it good in the end. 😞

  49. Ugly but fascinating. Probably al ot of nice people of European descent lived in this neighborhood then.

  50. No processed foods.
