How did any of us survive the 50’s ?

How slender & well most people looked, especially the motorcycle cops!

Those cars were not vintage when they crashed...they were normal cars at that time.😂😂😂

First is at least 1954

In the '70's they would park fresh wrecks in front of the high school for all kids to remember to drive carefully. Or at main & boulevard.

Just so sad seeing the devastation to these old beauties/classics! 😞

These are some beautiful cars but they were also death traps

Soundtrack?

90% were just fender benders… nothing exciting

Cars were so fine-looking, back then.

I think your dates are just a little off.

sad

First picture is in Switzerland. One car has NI which is Nidwald the other AG, Argau. Two states of the country.

Many dates are way off.

The yellow Buick comvertible by the pool at 2:37 is not a production model - it appears to be the Buick Skylark concept car from the early Fifties. This car was the basis for the limited production Buick Skylark convertible of the early Fifties.

2:49/829 1960s Good people 😊

Gorgeous cars but real death traps. Great steel but no seat belts, air bags and the steering wheels stabbed many in the head, chest or eye.

The dates on some of the photos are not correct.

Thanks so much for sharing these great photo's of the past. AWESOME!

As if bald tires aren't bad enough, one driver even had chains on his left front wheel of a rear wheel drive at 1:34 but none on the rear drive axle and it looks like the thing slid sideways into a tree???? How on earth did he expect to steer that thing on any kind of slick road surface???

I’ve noticed that all the cars involved in these accidents, have bold Tyers.

Definitely some tales of woe by the look of many of the wrecks.

Such sadness and life altering outcomes…

Thumbs DOWN! Too many wrong years!

Strong past , faz dos acidentes de 1970, 1980, 1990

Some pictures show an incorrect time.

Your colorization is getting a lil' better. You just have to realize that from the 20s-through the 40s all of those bright reds and purple cars...huh-uh.

7:35is 1920s.

3:49 , some 40s cars in it, you say 1930s.

2:12 has cars from late 50s and early 60s and you call it " 1940s ".

16 seconds in, a 1955 Buick in a pic. that you say is 1940s. Also a 1960 Ford taxi cab in the same shot.

At 7: 45. The cars, the clothes. That's from the early to mid-30s,...not 1952.

At 7: 27. That's late 1950s. Newest vehicle show is a 57' Ford. If it was 60s there'd be at least one vehicle from that time period amongst all of those shown.

At 4:34. Again, look at the vehicle and at people's clothes. Early to mid-50s...not 1960s.

At 4: 08. Again, look at vehicle and clothing of bystanders. Not " 1946 ". Sometime in the 1930s.

Picture from 2:54 is not " 1960s ". Look at the car and the clothing styles of those bystanders. Early to mid-50s.

Photo at 2:32 is very doubtful as " 1957 " More likely late 30s or early 40s. Wrecker as even from 30s-40s.

Photo at 2:49 says " 1950s ". Ahhh, wrong again. There's a 1962 Chevrolet right there in the immediate background .

At 19 seconds in , those were not Sheriff's deputies. Those were state troopers from the Illinois State Police.

Back when "One for the road" was a popular saying but probably not such a good idea. 2:48 depicts a crash from the 1950's, with a 1962 Chevy Impala passing by. I guess the occupants are visiting from the future 🤣

Could have sworn that was a bullet hole in the passenger window on the black and yellow 56 chevy near the beginning of the video

7:25 / 8:28 Not 1960s. Not one of the 20 or so cars was later than 1957 at best.

4:35 / 8:28 The cars shown are not 1960s cars.

2:45 / 8:28 Not 1950s. That's a 1962 Chevrolet in the background.

I’m surprised so many cars were painted mauve or pink or purple back then.

The colorization is imaginative, but there really weren't many pink or purple cars in the '40's.

I worked in the collision repair industry for 45 years. Almost all of these vehicles would have been total losses. Unfortunately way too many of the occupants were probably total losses as well

A little bit more info would be helpful for each pic. Year, status of injuries/fatalities....

7:12 that is a closed casket service 😔

Can someone identify the car T-boned by the bus @ 0:25?
