I used 2 cruise VNB from 1978 to about 1983.First in my 69 Pontiac GTO and then in my 72 GTO 455 HO 4 speed.It was so crowded on Wednesdays that the buses wouldn't run.I was there on the 4th of July 1982 when they closed it down.I also cruised there in Fridays and Saturdays too.

Let’s not forget the great old cruising tradition of Whittier Blvd. The undisputed longest cruise from East LA to Brea, Orange County. My sister went on it often during the early 1960s

I had this exact car (same cream color) with a 351W when I was in high school. Those were the days..

i was there almost every night in my teenage years

I'm only 52 but I really enjoy drag racing. My family had Hot rod ( stock) cars in the late 60 and early 70 s up to the mid 80. Wow what fun!!!

Watched it 3 times and going to watch it 3 more. Great driving. Great crue. Best of all. Good perseverance!!!

they all shoulda had front disc...ac a huge plus Saw a lot of these growing up in SFV ca 70s and 80s. Front drums actually did a great job provided all was right. Get them real wet...oh boy!

Picking mine up on tuesday

You Americans 🤣🤣🤣 the standard comp alloys are nicer than those stinking things

Driving like a fanny. What a waste

Family moved to Van Nuys in 1953, Van Nuys grad S'62. Lots of time on VN Blvd in 57 Bel Air. Lots of street racing as freeways were under construction and not opened yet around Van Nuys Bobs and Toluca Lake Bobs. And also San Fernando Raceway. Good times, start of muscle car era, Super Stock classes, gassers, my friend drove the City of San Fernando 62 white 409 Chevy Super Stock against the big names at the time. We had car lots that were like car shows. 1 was a block across from Van Nuys Bobs that had the factory cars, hot rods, hot Chevys, etc. Dick Landy was a Salesman (Owner?) there, later Bob and Dale motors on Vanowen with their beautiful dark blue Super Stock Ford. So much happened there.

bell helmets iykyk

Well after her comment she just posted on Facebook about Bell helmets and anyone not wearing one after John Forces accident in Virginia was about as low as a person could possibly be. She’s ignorant for making that statement and just lost a lot of fans for that.

So no commentary at all about hot rods in this video. Thumbs down.

Very nicely!!!

I got SNAKE U GOT MONGOOSE Q¿

I have a 68 Mustang I purchased in 1977 from the original owner. Lifelong Southern California car, purchased new in Palm Springs in December of 1967. 289, automatic, power steering, Factory AC, white vinyl top. In beautiful condition. I love it dearly. I was 18 when I brought it. I noticed the license plate on this car is VJN...mine is VWL...they were purchased around the same time. Enjoyed the video. Thx.

Back when California wasn’t overrun by nut cases… I remember those days.

The Shelby coupe that never saw production. Only 4000 real GT/CS’s were produced. It’s a classic car bargain…

I used to cruise Van Nuys every Wednesday night in my 70 Duster. Sure do miss those days, and the gas prices! 😎👍❤️

we love you shirley

I finally got a chance to me her last year. Awesome lady

you said "all but" too many times and used it wrong

She is the greatest 5:38

9:00 My man there was no need to slam the top open and closed like that to make a point…

This woman inspired me when I wuz a wee lad .. 💜🙏⚡💜

An old buddy had the factory 390 with C6 in his, which was white exactly like this one. His had the nicer "GT" logo wheels. He had the mill completely rebuilt, balanced, blueprinted, heads ported. Holly double pumper, Hooker headers. He purchased it in 1979 from the original owner.

Roll reversal it's completely wrong and remember feminism comes from communism Women should not race or serve in the military

Damn ! Just gives me goose bumps , if you have never experience NHRA blown methane racing , you haven’t experienced life .

Your channel trailer was so annyoying i didn't watch this video. Shits basically a cod channel intro in 2010.

As an Angeleno I can testify to what a great city this is for cruising, so long as traffic ain't an issue, or so long as you are not in a hurry and can cruise slow. But when I was a teen or in my early twenties, I'd cruise all over town with my friends, stopping at diners, doing all the goofy stuff you do in those years. I just didn't like to be the one behind the wheel so I could relax and enjoy the ride. While Van Nuys Boulevard was still a destination in the 80s and 90s, it wasn't the only place. Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood were popular, as was Westwood by UCLA. But that died hard in the early 90s. Whittier Boulevard used to be very popular but is nothing like what it used to be. They cracked down hard on cruising on Crenshaw Boulevard as well which is my neck of the woods. Some car and motorcycle clubs meet up, but it's mostly old timers with an average age of 60.

Van nuys high graduate

An automatic?

my dad has the same car gonna help him fix it next year

I sure do miss those days. I was born in 1962 and grew up in North Hollywood. Cruising night was every Wednesday and it was fun. I remember one time I borrowed my moms car to go there and a cop stopped me at the corner where Firestone was and I got a ticket. I was really nervous because I had my bong in the glove compartment. I will never forget that night. Good times!

❤🎉❤Shirley❤🎉❤ Forevermore ❤❤❤

Shirley, what a very inspirational video. I remember meeting you twice at the Summer Nationals in Englistown ,NJ and you were very kind to sign a picture for me. I hope 1 day we can meet again so I can tell you how much you mean to the sport of Drag Racing, GOD SPEED SHIRLEY 'CHA CHA" Muldowney

The problem is, I read the wikipedia article on Shirley and then came to this video. You're basically just reading the wiki article out loud and adding some photos and video footage. I did like the photos. I did like the video. But there's a reason the teachers gave you a lower grade for simply copying from the encyclopedia.

Do you happen to know if this car is in the 1968 GT/CS worldwide registry?

Aquí en Granada (Andalucía -España) también puedes ir de la playa (costa tropical) a la nieve en Sierra Nevada (a 3000 metros) en hora y media.

1968 was a big year

Yo tengo uno y es una maravilla, nunca había disfrutado tanto con un coche. BMW, Audi...se necesita mucha velocidad para disfrutarlo y sacarles su potencial y siempre vas al límite.

I was born in Pacoima in 1944. Moved to North Hollywood attending Victory Blvd Grammer School and Sun Valley Jr High. I moved to Panorama City and attended James Monroe High School. When I got my drivers license and inherited by brother 1953 Ford painted Lime Fire Green. My next car was a 58 Ford with a 292 and three speed. Help start a Car Club called the Rejectors. Bought a 1960 Chevy Impala, 348, 4 speed with a Duntov Cam. Started cruising Van Nuys Blvd every Wednesday Night looking for hot chick's, or a drag race. Found both, with drag races on Chandler and Ethel, Louise, Balboa Blvd at the San Fernando Dam, and went to Bakersfield Famosa Smokers meet every year along went to Lyon drags in Long Beach, where I met more races. Spent a couple of nights in jail for some stupid stuff my friend's and I got into. Met my future wife cruising VN BLvd in 1962, got married in 1964 and have had a good life since. I will always remember those times of my life with great joy.

A huge difference between a staged "car show cruise night", and hundreds of kids cruising in whatever they could afford, or borrow from mom. Cruise Nights now tend to be a bunch of old, fat men in shorts and sneakers driving their $100,000 restomods as if they were made of cardboard.

I’ve been living in Van Nuys since 2010 and I was today years old when I found out those movies were made here.

The Greatest of all Time !
