As a chronic nostalgiac , I'm finding these historical films of daily urban activity , which are just so visually distinct , utterly diverting . Spending hours absorbed by the imagery . Just about the best thing I've ever seen on youtube ! Thanks heaps .
@01:21 - @02:34- Starts on the corner of Montana Ave and 2nd Street in Santa Monica. Many of those beautiful trees are still going strong. Segment fades out during right turn on Wilshire Blvd.
So pristine it looks like a movie set- and those folks actually got to live in that place- at that time. They certainly couldn’t have known they were living in America’s finest hour-never to be repeated. I am so jealous.
I LOVE this!! THANK YOU!! OHHHH, if only true time travel was possible somehow. This is one era I would want to visit. So much more peaceful and clean back then. And this video is BEAUTIFULLY remastered.
First part is Santa Monica. At 3:49 it looks like we're at Oxnard and Woodman to me. At five minutes, I think we're in Burbank. Yes, Detroit Furniture was in Burbank. 9:20 turning onto Lima Street. At 9:35 - that's Mike Lyman's Flight Deck restaurant - first restaurant in LAX - not sure if they had one at the Burbank Airport, which is what this looks like.
Cherish the ones you love and never let them go because life is too short & one day we will be seen like this by another futute generation! i came here in peace. Love you all with all my heart!
Check that square house out. 8:32 Flat roofs. Look at those garage windows. Pretty cool. I wonder who those people were ? Just a few out of hundreds of thousands at the time.
Fascinating to compare Santa Monica's Ocean Avenue to today's congested street. These long following shots were made to use in movie studio process shots. Actors sat in car mock ups on a set while the footage was projected behind them giving the illusion the car was moving. Quality had to be good making these digital transfers fantastic to watch.
Not sure where they are finding these old background shots, but there have to be hundreds and hundreds of them archived. Just a question of somebody getting them digitized.
It just amazes me how clean the streets and side walks are and the lawns manicured people got dressed up in suits and nice dresses and high heels people had class. The 40s 50s women are so freaking hot they had class !You go to most of the place now and get shot from some banger because you looked at him wrong. So sad this will never be back
The majority of the upper class neighborhoods in and around LA still look nearly identical to the way they did 50 years ago. Lawns are still manicured, many of the homes are the same and with little updating, and even some of the same trees are there.
I want to go back to the 50s when I was a kid. The smells were even different back then. America was blessed by God because most of us acknowledged Him. We even prayed in school in Jesus name. Life was good and as it should be.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Enjoy viewing the automobiles/gas stations/telephone lines of that era. 🤗. Nicely manicured lawns/bushes/trees-!!!😉..
This is amazing. Thank you for posting such wonderful images. If it wasn’t for the cars I would think I’m actually watching a today’s video of a LA neighborhood.
Some of the neighborhoods still look the same. Parts of Pasadena, Alhambra, San Marino and San Gabriel. They still even have the same small street name signs and street lights. I love driving through these neighborhoods because you get a sense of nostalgia the only things missing are the beautiful cars.
In a house not far away, A toilet had quite the day. With a clog that wouldn't relent, Overflowing, it was hell-bent. Down the stairs, a murky flow, Brown stuff swirling, to and fro. Soggy socks and panicked cries, Oh, what a foul surprise!

What strikes me about this film is the near total absence of cars from the teens, twenties and thirties, it shows how many cars were scrapped for the war effort.
@@GUITARTIME2024 California doesn't have much of a rust problem, and for that matter I don't think the rest of the country did either in the 50's as salt wasn't used as much as sand and gravel in the snow belt, they definitely didn't use salt during the WW2 years for roads.
@indianaslim4971 ocean air. Well known issue in old cars. Plus, more important, plenty of jobs around, middle class growing fast, etc. What would neighbors think.
@@GUITARTIME2024 ocean air is only a problem if you live on the shoreline, it doesn't do anything inland, the country needed steel for the war effort, more steel than the mills could provide so there was a concerted effort on recycled steel that resulted in cars being scrapped.
I think it's more of a reflection of the fact that no new cars to speak of were being made between 1942 & 1945. So by 1950, with new, more lively drive trains and driver conveniences coming online, pre-war cars were becoming obsolete both stylistically and mechanically--and were simply wearing out by then. After years of making-do with what they had during the war, people were thirsty for NEW in the '50s and were much less interested in nursing along a stodgy pre-war car with valve and ring jobs, etc.
For reasons I can't explain I'm mesmerized by these videos. But one question I have is why were these films ever made in the first place? Was it taken as stock footage to be used in establishing shots in movies and television shows?
I read on another channel that these *rear-view* videos were created by the studios as projection footage - you know, when a film shows someone inside a car, this type of footage is projected behind the vehicle to make it seem like the person was actually driving.
Those cars could still exist today. LA is a great place for automobile collectables. Jay Leno says all the time that LA and Burbank are great places to collect cars because nothing rusts there.
If only that were true, Troy. I was born in L.A. (mid-'57) and have watched it become largely unrecognizable even from the '80s, much less the early '50s here. It's very sad. Very expensive, and very dangerous. Also non-distinctive from many other cities overall, too.
@@yuppiehi Many probably do 'exist', but you'll never see them in their natural habitat (so to speak) like this. Jay has quite a few cars like this. I hope his bad luck streak is over, so he can enjoy them. These shots have to be from the VERY early section of the decade, when most cars on the road were still from the '30s and 40s. There were several years during World War II, when autos were out of production.
@@digitalsage5636 It literally didn’t goofball. Cause they still exist. You’re so far gone you invented your own degenerate reality where whatever you say actually makes any sense.
Yeah not a lot of videos of the neighborhoods that people were redlined into near industrial compounds and pollution. You can love this video for the incredible archive it is without diminishing entire communities that have been through far too much, yeah?
This is stock footage mainly used by travel films to give you a “feel” for what it’d be like to be in LA. (A good example of this is A Trip Down Market Street.)And it ain’t no 8mm film. This cost money to make, believe it or not. So, no trash. No graffiti. No poor parts of town. No slums. But I was there during the 50s, and yes, there was. Lots.
Hey Cozy! It's 2024. That means anything you can think of most likely can be done- except for time travel and galaxy hopping. As for your request to watch this video at a slower speed- that's a piece of cake. Go to the UA-cam settings on the video and you'll see next to the "comments" icon, just to the right, the "settings" icon- which looks like a *gear* . Click on that. You'll then see you can change the speed to 1/2 or even slower, .25 (one quarter speed). Presto! Whammo! Spiffy, swell! There. Your wish has been granted! 🌌🧞♂️🌌
Great. I only wish that amateur camera people of that and many eras realized we want to see out the side windows to see street detail; not long shots of the cars following behind your own car! In all, a great video.
These were the opposite of ameteurs - they were professional cameramen from movie studios. They were filming scenes that would be projected behind actors in cars so that the filmed scenes would appear through the rear and side windows giving the viewer the appearance that the car was driving.
@@TeddyNovak1 Fascinating... I'll buy it... Thanks for the information. except in those instances when the camera work is so shaky- it was probably some rich dude with a novelty of a 8 or 16 mm camera.
How I wish we could all just step through that camera window and visit for a while because I would love to just find a small quaint diner somewhere sit in the corner relax have a cup of coffee and eat some food that was probably much cleaner and healthier smile, and enjoy the atmosphere think to myself.

3:26 Van Nuys. I saw a sign that said "Walnut Haven," and cheated on the net. In the valley.
I noticed a Detroit Furniture too. Someone could probably find the location in a phone book.

Yep I was pretty sure this is Santa Monica and it look like it’s going toward the ocean where there’s a park how gorgeous I grew up there
Cool! the light post are still there.
Amazing clarity as if it had been shot just yesterday in 4K. Really takes me back to my childhood. Thank you!
WoW, I love this sorta time capsule view, the homes & landscaping were kept better than most I see today and I live in LA close USC born in 1956
That’s because your city and state are ruled by criminals.

This looks like 1951, based on the newest model cars shown. As I watch this video, I can smell the L.A. Smog again.
Everything was so clean!
Yessss not a single piece of trash!! And everyone dressed so nice!
Except the air.
Beautiful!!!! Great work
Thank you so much :)
That dip while crossing Idaho St. at 1:29 is still there! :) The lamppost there now has a sign that says DIP

Красота во всём. И музыка и авто и люди были вероятно другими в те добрые времена. Спасибо Вам большое мне понравилось 😊
No litter. No graffiti. No tire marks from sideshows. No tent cities. Beautiful. Would love to go back in time for just a day and experience that era.
beautiful color.
Thank you :)
the homes very beautiful... neat, clean, orderly streets, sidewalks...little or no traffic ..WONDERFUL
To think those homes sold from between 8K to 30K back then.
Still would be, but for millions of foreigners driving up the prices. 1965 immigration act changed America.
Probably 1.2 million and more now
@@krlm2280 depends how much these hoods deteriorated...

It's hardly visible now with all the foliage around it.
