Color photos from the late 1970's !? Way ahead of the times.

LA was at the end of its prime. Then, the US government and crack cocaine showed up.

LA.te 70's.treets and buildings

1:49 The Foster's Freeze in Wilmington off PCH Look Just Like this one in LA. It's where I stood the Morning the Olympic Torch Route came by for the Olympics in '84. So Many Great Memories as Kid with the Banana Float My Favorite!

3:03Sorry to be a pendant, but USS Forrestal was commissioned in 1955, so 1950 would probably not be the correct date there

Seeing the pictures and dates you couldn't tell the U.S was at war. In 1942 it was dark times for the U.S. In the Pacific with Japan on a rampage, the U Boat war in the Atlantic and Hitlers war in Europe. I thank God I'm an American and the for sacrifices made by the greatest generation. This shows how Americans had strength and optimism during the war.

At 5:49- Pictured is Hollenbeck Jr. High's low playing field ( in Boyle Heights ) , fyi.

Nice time travelling Ford Thunderbird. You claim the picture to be from 1957, yet the T-bird is a 1960 model

Remember the Helms Bakery trucks?

Thanks for the memories I miss bobs big boy with the shrimp dinners

They're AI pictures, right? The messed up signs give it away.

San Francisco is also a disaster.

Born in 81 in Pasadena definitely saw bobs big boy

L.A./California in those days was still "Nebraska with palm trees." It was a conservative red state. The liberals/progressives do what they aways do. Take over what better people than themselves have created and turn it into rubble. At least we have our memories and old videos.

OK, so some of the photo captions are clearly off by a decade or more, but I love the photos AND the music mix.

I left LA for good in 1978, but kept the two big block Oldsmobiles! I had other things to do with my life. No regrets, no place anywhere is the same as it was back in the day. We grow.

Clickbait! Where's the woman in the thumbnail? Yeah, that's why it's clickbait.

примерно как Россия сегодня

I was lucky to have an extended holiday in Los Angeles in 1979 when I was 7 years old. I am from the UK and long trips like that were a rarity and we could only afford it because of my dad's gratuity from leaving the Royal Navy. I love Los Angeles and have always been fascinated by it. We stayed for 4 weeks at the Hotel Roosevelt on Hollywood Boulevard.

It is LA you have missed. 😢

1:33 aww yea .... let's bring that fashion back please. ❤❤❤

Last chance to buy a house in LA at a somewhat reasonable price. The best time, however, to have lived in LA was the 1950s and the 1960s. Very affordable and not overcrowded.

I really miss Drive In theatres and Bob's Big Boy!

The 1970s had the most beautiful women. Is there anyone today like Farrah Fawcett, Linda Carter, Pam Grier, or Cheryl Tieg? No tattoos, no piercing, no masculine attitude, just strong, naturally beautiful women.

Защемило сердце, какая красота, это время ушло безвозвратно, демократы не успокоятся, пока не уничтожат эту страну полностью.

L.A. was sure butt ugly in the seveties but they did have some buildings with interesting architecture.

a shame what the left has done to this state. gone forever

It's John McClernand

I remember going to Los Angeles in the mid seventies and you couldn’t see the hills because the smog was so thick.

Seeing a woman like the one in the thumbnail now would be like seeing a unicorn.

2:10Was social distancing a thing in the 1970s?

So many of those cars (like at6:31) may hsve been dreadful barges, but don't they look amazing

Some real characterful old school gas stations. The kind where the proprietor would come out to you and check your oil and tires, no need to download apps or anything 🤠

The good old days in some parts of town, lucky I survived some other parts of town. I was there, and I survived the only parts I miss are my friends and my youth.

Looks like a great time to be in LA.

Lots of wrong guesses at the years here, and even the decades, but still nice to see, I'm old as the hills, so I know, lol.

You don’t need to colorize photos from the 60s. I used color film then- Kodachrome (for slides) and Kodacolor (for prints). Other companies made color film as well. Very common.

trying to buy a house in 1979 was around 11.20% not so good as inflation was run away. Well at least we had disco!

It was a different world back in the 50s. Would love to go back.

I wish I could go back and live in those days!

Charming pictures.

Do not believe everything you see about photo shopping these women on the main post is fake like you are.

1:12 they dont make women this beautiful any more. 🥲

P r o m o S M 💘

I never knew there was a trolley in NY !

See how polluted the air was then?

2:05 My mom used to take me with her to shop at a Market Basket in Orange County.

I’m in the military. Hahaha. Roar!😊
