  1. People were more formal and dignified back then. All the women are in dresses.

  2.  @jptaylor  Lots of older pre-war cars people wee hanging on to.

  3.  @PK-uh2yz  Wow! I'm sorry you had such an experience after making an effort to do something kind. I'll remember your story if I ever contemplate helping out a homeless person.

  4. What do these streets look like today? People dressed like slobs, homeless encampments and not a car anywhere worth looking at. How much we let slip away.

  5.  @NASS_0  Thank you. I have a 50 Buick to do when I get to it.

  6.  @songwriter124  The honking horns are dubbed in and I presume by your critique you think today's LA is an improvement; just what I'd expect from a left coast liberal or at least one who thinks that way. How do you know the guy on the bench is homeless? Today's 2-legged trash, I presume, is preferable?

  7.  @songwriter124  I took my que from you!

  8. Everyone nicely dressed. No litter on the streets. Interesting how many pre-war cars were still on the road then. I wonder if anyone in this video is still alive and might recognize themselves?

  9. I think it's a 49. The limo used the old body style for one more year.

  10. I haven't seen any cars newer than '49, so I guess that's the year. Between car and trolly traffic, the rails embedded n the pavement stay nice and shiny. I suppose these sidewalks are littered with trash and homeless vagrants today; not well dressed people going about their business feeling perfectly safe.

  11. I'm sure it's worse today. Haven't been in the Ironbound Section in years and doubt I'll ever go back.

  18. Beautiful. Id' sure like to pay a visit back there for a while. Maybe sty forever. I saw a new 47 Buick in one shot. I guess that's the year.

  23. You listened to the radio back then, if you had one.

  24. The only drawback might be mandatory military service.

  25. Everyone seems to want to get back to Buffalo. Of course at that time there were good jobs to be had.

  26. My father lived through the depression and used to complain about it a lot. He pumped gas for $1/day, 7 days a week and played in a 4 piece band on Saturday nights at a local club. 50 some years later he stated things weren't all the bad, they had a lot of fun and he'd like to relive some of those days.

  27.  @PK-uh2yz  CA doesn't have to welcome them.

  28. The newest car I saw was 1954 so I'm assuming that's the year.

  31.  @songwriter124  I can't believe what an issue you're making over history footage of LA and mostly the cars people enjoy watching. Go to hell!

  32.  @sonnycorleone2602  I noticed Ambush on the Marque, but am not familiar with it.

  33. Not a vagrant, an addict, discarded hypodermic needles or a pile of human feces to be seen! There aren't even any parking meters!! What the hell is wrong? I know: The mayor, Elmer Robinson, was a Republican.

  40. I like how they hang onto the trolley running boards and don't even wait for it to stop to get off. How would ha go over today?

  41. Not hard to understand.

  42. The early part of the video showed Checker taxi cabs. The NY section was DeSotos.

  43. Why am I not surprised? It was solid middle class here.

  44. Anyone notice the Bomb Shelters advertised for $795?

  45. Amazing there was so much traffic back then. The cars certainly are crowding out the trolleys.

  46. I wonder what line he's riding on? Some kind of elevated subway?

  47. It's really tough identifying the pre-war cars from behind, but I was able to pick out a few of them.

  48. The newest car I see is 1962 so I guess that's the yar.

  49.  @aaronvadovic4023  Interesting. Makes sense.
