- A short industrial film depicting all that Windsor Ontario had to offer potential corporate investors, circa the mid 1950's
It's a great slice of life of the city from that era, featuring...
Malden Park, South Windsor, Dieppe Park, Detroit River Front, Windsor Airport, Ouellette Avenue and much more.
I've had a copy of this film for several years, but did not have a 16mm projector with audio up until recently. - Розваги
What I would give to travel back 70 years in time........and stay there !
This was great. My dad had worked at Steel Master and was a tool n die maker. He would have loved watching this as well. Thanks for this.
Sad to realize the economic success of those days is long gone.
True.
Love Windsor worked there late seventies great people easy to get around. Not sure why it didn’t become more diverse
Just studying Land Use in Geography with my grade 8 class in Windsor. This will be so cool to show them.
Excellent!
12:24 - Those toys trucks aren't fooling anyone!
I doubt they did 70 years ago.
The boat being manufactured at approx 12:20 is a WindsorCraft Runabout. I have the only one I've ever seen fully restored (same canary yellow too!!) Always looking for more information if anyone else recognizes or remembers them.
I think that was the aquamarine ship shown on the river...its sat off sandwich for years till they sold it for scrap
You are right, It was the Aquarama.
@@MikeEvansWindsor yes right Aquarama
Great stuff. I wonder where the shot at 0:48 is taken from. South Windsor maybe?
Hi Ryan. I believe that was shot from Malden Park when it was the city dump.
Why are the 's' leaning over in the title cards?
Great question.
That was some commercial artist's sad little protest against the oppressive conformity of the times ... !
