Very Nice, thank you for upload, Greatings from Brazil!!!
Thanks for posting this. It was great seeing my hometown of Phoenix back when it was smaller and people were genuine.
I really admire your work preserving these old films. It is of great importance. The number of ads seems to be increasing quite a bit though
Back then there is no such thing as coach seat on an airplane. Every seats are either first class or business class.
we don't take it slow and see everything. Rush Rush Rush
Look at that. You didn't have to unwrap lunch
Back then it was always about the customer, sad today all about profits.
