Hi, I lived in San Francisco when this was filmed, as a kid. All the scenes are from at least 60 years ago, some look more like the 1950s than the 1960s. One mistake: though the cable cars were red and yellow, the buses and streetcars back then were not. They were yellow and green! Later, in the 70s, was when they started the red and yellow buses. My mother didn't have a car, so I rode busses/streetcars almost every day to school, etc (Lowell HS)
We got a span from the mid 60's to very early 50's and yet those cable cars remain timeless. I always have to remind myself that NASS has added the well matched audio!
If I could just go back in time to experience that decade of San Francisco, to shop, to listen to the music, to walk and see 1960s movies. Just to experience and nothing more.
It was a wonderful tine to be young there. I was in Jr. High in SF from 62-65 abd high school from 65-68. It was a great time there! You would have loved it. 🌺
I remember The City when it was a 'World Class City'. Not even a million people living there and yet it was known across the globe as a most beautiful, and classy city. It was safe and fun, and you could do a million things that were free or almost free. You could walk from one neighborhood to another, and you could smell different pleasant smells. There would be coffee roasting companies. Sour dough bread would be baked. They would be making chocolate. China Town with their cooking. It was just a fantastic city. If you're young, you missed it. Sorry, it isn't ever coming back. IT WAS SUCH A GRAND CITY.
Yet another one of NASS's awesome time travel adventures. I only wish I could step through the screen and stay there. On a side note, the latter part of the footage is definitely earlier than the first. Probably not later than 1951-52.
My Dad worked in the shipyards in the early 50's right out the navy with a young child at home - me. Lived in Hunter's Point and then Candlestick Cove - before the stadium was built. Thanks for this.
@@mikeyh0 I graduated from Lincoln High in 1964 and went to work straightaway at the Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard. The “real world” learning experience was a real eye opener for this 17 year old. Served my four year shipwright apprenticeship then got drafted into the Army. Never returned to the shipyard when I got out. It closed a few years later.
@@mikeyh0 Well, until you graduate from high school, your whole life is basically family and school. You’re still a kid. Then, when you start in a place like the shipyard with around 5000 other people that are older than you, from all walks of life, you start learning what it’s like out there. I grew up fast.
Judging from the hootenany sign in North Beach, the first part was early to mid-60s, the rest is 1950s. Love seeing the old cars. My family briefly had a Studebaker. It was always breaking down.
I’m a third generation native San Franciscan, born in 1963. WHAT MEMORIES I HAVE! San Francisco will go down as one of the most beautiful cities to fall. I thank God my parents and grandparents aren’t alive to see this travesty!
There's a lot of positives as well... The Warriors and Giants stadiums - are downtown and beautiful. The end of retail shopping and work from home - end up as stuff brought right to your door (Amazon/Door Dash) and work at home in your Pajamas (Technology). Time changes everything, but the city is still gorgeous - it's just facing many challenges.
Lived in SF 26 years and love this 1960s/1950s restoration. Great job! Wonderful to see the Coffee Gallery and cable cars. I do lament how so many SF nostalgia videos become repositories of overly politicized negative comments about modern SF.
Nass, Great channel. I always loved San Francisco. My two favorite cities are New York City and San Francisco. Been to San Francisco as a young boy. This scene looks maybe early 1960's? Because At 4:56 you still had some 1940's cars still driving around. Thanks for the upload.
Great Awesome Post! How normal and cool it looks, and this is in the 1960's. SF was a "work in progress" then, and still is, this very day. Just amazing.
Longtime SUB, this Model Railroad Hobbyist is grateful for inspiring ideas for my train layout. Views into the past, such as Billboards, Storefront labeling, Auto and Truck years makes and models, plus those wonderful Sunday Morning relaxing raids though the business districts. My layout theme covers the point 1940-60s with background music of that time. You're a Treasure, continued success and GOD BLESS.
I am excited to research another NASS video and find the locations where the originals were shot. Any errors are my own, please correct any that you find. The first location I could match is at 0:55 the Figoni Hardware storefront is at 1351 Grant Ave in the Telegraph Hill area of SF, near Columbus Ave and not far from downtown. Next at 1:27 is a cable car coming down Powell Street, turning onto Jackson. The grand old buildings have not changed much over the years! Skip ahead to 2:03 for the cable car passing left to right...this is Powell at Pine street and my favorite locater in this research. Pause at 2:13 as the car crosses Pine Stree. In the distance there is a slender red roofed building with a small structure on top. That same structure is barely visible in the modern buildup...and it now is part of the Citi Bank building on Market street quite a distance away! At 2:25 when the cable car comes into view this is Powell Street at Market and is one of the famous 'turnarounds'. In the background is Woolworth's the same location shown vacant as of April 2022 on Google street view. Directly behind the photographer today stands the Axiom Hotel. Jump ahead to 3:22, appears to be near the same location from a different angle. The 'Hale Bros.' building has changed quite a bit...it is now Nordstroms...and the distinctive columns on the building behind it are 901 Market Street. The classic 3-bulb streetlights are still there! At 3:50 you would be standing on Powell Street near Ellis...much has changed but the Herbert Hotel on the left is still there! At 4:10 I believe this is the intersection of Jones and Washington. At 4:19 the arch that appears briefly in the background could be 1400 Jones Street. My next find is at 5:26, cable car entering Twin Peaks tunnel. If I am correct this is from near West Portal and Ulloa looking up toward Twin Peaks. Skip to 6:32 looks like an aerial view but could be from the top of Twin Peaks. I believe that is Market Street running straight toward the top of the frame with downtown San Francisco and the Bay Bridge in the distance. At 6:43 the view shifts left and shows two distintive hills, the Randall Museum now sits on the right and Buena Vista on the left. The shot pans left back to the previous view. At 6:59 a view of the Bay Bridge I believe shot from Telegraph Hill and the Coit Tower. At 7:24 the shot shifts back toward the city, the tall building on the right looks to be what is now La Mirada apartments and the one on the far left with and object on the peack looks like the complex on Green Street. And finally, just to the right of the previous shot, at 7:43 notice the windy street at the top of the hill on the left...the famous curvy part of Lombard...and in the background on the right the famous Golden Gate bridge. Hope you enjoyed the journey! Thanks to NASS for these spectacular videos!
Cool video. Thumbs up. Subscribed. I lived in San Francisco in 1966 to 1968. This video, although apparently from before that period, brings back lots of good memories.
San Francisco in those day's was very much like an eastern city. Very metropolitan and artsy with a few nuts. Gone are those days. And no, not everyone that lives in California is a democrat.
Just like everywhere else, “Big city, Big city problems” third generation city boy, grand father worked for Market st railway, father tv repair man for sears and Roebuck , I worked and retired from muni, cable car division. People living in San Francisco now are not all from San Francisco. Balboa!
I was born at Children's Hospital in S.F. in 1950. Hard to imagine the changes the City has gone through since then. Simpler times from a bygone era. My dad was a merchant marine during WW11, and traveled the world. He said S.F. was the most beautiful of them all. It's a shame that San Francisco lost it's innocence, and became what it is today.
@@sonnycorleone2602 Yes ! And a few 1946 - 1948 Chevrolet Streamliner or 1946 - 1947 Buick Roadmaster. I assume, that these tapes were made around 1950 - 1951
The early part of the video is either late 1962 or early 1963. There is a 1963 Chevrolet Impala in it. Could've been purchased new in late 1962. Also a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air. The second part of the video is the 1950's. Probably mostly 1957.
at 1.15 theres a 1964 Chevrolet bel Air wagon , Also at 1.40 I think its a 64 Pontiac Tempest parked and at 2.05 a 64 Chevelle HT. so the first part has to be atleast very late 1963, but more likely 1964.
I grew up in that City, what a beautiful place it was, what a shame it became what it is now. One thing I miss is the fantastic views you had from almost anywhere you went. Now every street is lined with trees, the so called urbqan forest, that most of those views I loved are gone. Even coit tower is ringed by overgrown trees that the view from the parking lot is now lost.
Are you saying that more trees make a city less beautiful? As far as I am concerned, the more trees, and the more larger trees, the better. I hate an urban street that looks barren, with little to no trees. The Bay isn't the only "beautiful view". lol
A majority of the footage is from 1956 or 57, when Hilo Hattie, a Hawaiian singer was touring the western United States. Her poster is on the back end of all the cable and streetcars.
When I was entrusted with house keys, I went down to Figone Hardware to make the duplicates. One shop keeper reminded me of Abe Lincoln without the beard, the other out of central casting with a meticulous mustache . Both always in their blue herringbone shop smock. Another great restoration Nass!!
A big white 1965 Olds 98 sedan passing by in the background starting at 00:14, is the newest car I can identify, so that part of the clip would date late '64 at the earliest. The clip starting at 03:19 and the remainder is much earlier, around 1950 or '51.
@@MarinCipollina The 98 sedan was Oldsmobile's top of the line luxury barge, very close in size and appointments to Buick Electras and Cadillac Sedan deVilles, and thus somewhat larger and heavier than the average car on the road in '65.
its better today in numerous ways, including lots of parks and preserved areas that conservative media never mentions because it doesnt fit their narrative. Crissy Field was an actual landing strip back then, today its a restored marshland.
Wow - I’ve seen NASS videos of San Fran since the late 1890s, with trolleys, with people manually turning the trolley around at the end of the line, late 1800s all the way to the 1960s!
Nass, Great upload. Love your channel. I like the scene with the 3 male friends going to the trolley at 5:14. Has to be around 1954 to 1961 I would think? Thanks for the upload. 😊❤❤
If I had to wager a guess on the year, I would say '64 - '65. There are plenty of older-model cars, but if you look carefully you'll see a few from the mid-1960's. Regardless, it's a beautiful piece of film.
this city was much more beautiful in that year than it is today! With all this ugly modern buildings in downtown. And it alos loooked so much cleaner than it looks today!
I remember how great the city smelled. The french bread bakeries, the coffee roasters and the fresh sea food. The giant Hamms beer mug that filled up as you approached the city from the Bay Bridge. Not so great now.
Outdid yourself this time. For us Native SF'cans this is just so wonderful. My heart soared It brought back soooo many memories. Sadly I left. So I like to see these old videos of when it had its charm and it wasn't trashed. Such good vibes watching this. Thanks~
@@coldsamon Dude, it's all the hate-mongers who are crying. I'm pointing out to NASS that his obvious courting of hate-mongers like you is rather obvious.
Can't determine the exact month, but it begins in Autumn in 1965, and the video cuts to summer in 1951. Newest automobiles are the 1966 Oldsmobile 98 sedan (very lengthy car), and then the 1951 Chevrolet styline.
The chrome trim on the lower side panels of the Olds 98s changed ever so slightly from '65 to '66. After considerable squinting at the footage and comparing online images of the two model years, I think it's a '65 model in the video, taken in the fall of '64. (If it were the fall of '65, I think we'd be seeing a few '65 Chevys, and I didn't see any, although another viewer claims to have seen a '65 Impala.) In the older part of the clip, there's a one second glimpse of the tail end of a Packard that that is no earlier than '51 model--the newest I could identify myself.
@@jaysverrisson1536 You know what's funny about that, I started off with '65, and then said to myself that no it couldn't be true as I remember the 1965 looked a bit different, more '60s Ford Falcon esk than the mercury style of the '66 (in refrence to the '60 Mercury's new design trend)
@@jaysverrisson1536 And yes it would have been curious if there were no 1965s anywhere in site, like a Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth, Cadillac etc so that makes sense, but then again I once found a street of all 1930-31 Fords with a 1927 Ajax and was thoroughly confused when I spotted a 1948 Studebaker driving by. So it really is hard to tell.
Studied music and voice in San Francisco 1960-1963. Loved the city. Spent so many years growing up at "The Playland", the "Museum" and the "Zoo". Anniversaries and birthdays at "Fisherman's Wharf". Great memories !
That magical, mysterious San Francisco is from long ago, a time which will never come again. This is a sad example of what the modern Left does to a beautiful thing.
I really enjoyed the video images but, with all due respect, the “sound design” is a detriment as it has the feel of a sitcom laugh track - please consider music
There are vehicles from the early to mid 1960s in several scenes, so at least part of the video is from the 1960s. At 2:04 there are a 1960 Dodge Dart and a 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle.

To be 20-30 years old in the 60's and live in this area, wow!

Just spellbinding to watch. One of my favorite parts is trying to place where some of these sites are today.
What I like seeing in this video are the older cars--RUST FREE! There was a `54 Coupe DeVille in one scene that looked brand new!!
Awesome 🎉 Thank you for the awesome scenes
Wow - I’ve seen NASS videos of San Fran since the late 1890s, with trolleys, with people manually turning the trolley around at the end of the line, late 1800s all the way to the 1960s!
Nass, Great upload. Love your channel. I like the scene with the 3 male friends going to the trolley at 5:14. Has to be around 1954 to 1961 I would think? Thanks for the upload. 😊❤❤
Thx!!
Having been there a good number of times in my life, as well as living near there, San Francisco was the type of city that ran like clockwork.
For color correct scenes of that era few movies can compare to Jimmy Stewart following Kim Novak in 1958's Vertigo.
If I had to wager a guess on the year, I would say '64 - '65. There are plenty of older-model cars, but if you look carefully you'll see a few from the mid-1960's. Regardless, it's a beautiful piece of film.
Great shots , Thank You !!
Thx!!
Some of these scenes are from the 50's
Nice video. It gave me an yen for Rice-A-Roni 😄
David, Yes, I remember those commercials from the 1970's and 80's.. "Rice a Roni-The San Francisco treat!"
I moved to San Francisco from Cincinnati in 1981. I never went back there!
Wear some flowers 💐 in your hair if you’re going
Great video.
this city was much more beautiful in that year than it is today! With all this ugly modern buildings in downtown. And it alos loooked so much cleaner than it looks today!
I remember how great the city smelled. The french bread bakeries, the coffee roasters and the fresh sea food. The giant Hamms beer mug that filled up as you approached the city from the Bay Bridge. Not so great now.
5:09 Looks like Alfred's steakhouse.
My father worked at Alfred’s for several years
half expected Steve McQueen to zoom past chasing some who do

Outdid yourself this time. For us Native SF'cans this is just so wonderful. My heart soared
It brought back soooo many memories. Sadly I left. So I like to see these old videos of when it had its charm and it wasn't trashed. Such good vibes watching this. Thanks~
Thx!
It can never be LA. Thanks for sharing! 💬❤
What the 'eff does that mean? I prefer San Francisco over the Greater Los Angeles area.
@@Luna_and_Miles
Any specific reason for it?? 💬🤗
Looks like some of this is from the 1950s based on some scenes having no 1960s cars in them...
32.9 cents a gallon in mid sixties San Francisco
👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
We have gone in reverse ever since.
@doug1075 IN REVERSE due to progress ..
Nothing like NASS putting out a San Francisco video to draw out all the hatred as evidenced in the stereotyping comments (found prior to mine).
Cry more.
The Original Dickhead Edwards strikes again with another asinine diatribe. Sorry if the truthfulness of the comments intrudes upon your safe space.
@@pmafterdark You've poisoned your mind.
@@coldsamon Dude, it's all the hate-mongers who are crying. I'm pointing out to NASS that his obvious courting of hate-mongers like you is rather obvious.
@@TheDanEdwards My minds fine. Maybe because you're speaking from a demented mind.
👍👍❤❤
So nice
Every city was better in the 60’s, just look at your own home town, I bet it was better than today.
NASS ! Thank you very much!
Thx bro
Can't determine the exact month, but it begins in Autumn in 1965, and the video cuts to summer in 1951.
Newest automobiles are the 1966 Oldsmobile 98 sedan (very lengthy car), and then the 1951 Chevrolet styline.
The chrome trim on the lower side panels of the Olds 98s changed ever so slightly from '65 to '66. After considerable squinting at the footage and comparing online images of the two model years, I think it's a '65 model in the video, taken in the fall of '64. (If it were the fall of '65, I think we'd be seeing a few '65 Chevys, and I didn't see any, although another viewer claims to have seen a '65 Impala.) In the older part of the clip, there's a one second glimpse of the tail end of a Packard that that is no earlier than '51 model--the newest I could identify myself.
@@jaysverrisson1536 You know what's funny about that, I started off with '65, and then said to myself that no it couldn't be true as I remember the 1965 looked a bit different, more '60s Ford Falcon esk than the mercury style of the '66 (in refrence to the '60 Mercury's new design trend)
@@jaysverrisson1536 And yes it would have been curious if there were no 1965s anywhere in site, like a Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth, Cadillac etc so that makes sense, but then again I once found a street of all 1930-31 Fords with a 1927 Ajax and was thoroughly confused when I spotted a 1948 Studebaker driving by. So it really is hard to tell.
When streetcars were used for transportation.
When we were civilized.
I always think of Rice A Roni when I see the cable cars 😋😋😋
Ah the good old days.
Studied music and voice in San Francisco 1960-1963. Loved the city. Spent so many years growing up at "The Playland", the "Museum" and the "Zoo". Anniversaries and birthdays at "Fisherman's Wharf". Great memories !
lines to board seem non-existent, unlike today
Too bad it's become a dystopian hell. Thanks, Gavin and the rest of the clown show.
❤🎉❤❤❤❤THANK YOU, NASS!!!!❤
;))
That magical, mysterious San Francisco is from long ago, a time which will never come again. This is a sad example of what the modern Left does to a beautiful thing.
I was there and it was indeed magical at that time. Now, a sewer and disgrace.
SF in good old days, literally.
With this color filter it looks like from twentieth.
I really enjoyed the video images but, with all due respect, the “sound design” is a detriment as it has the feel of a sitcom laugh track - please consider music
🤩
Beautiful. And how does it look now?
All that free parking and not one street tent or Fentanyl casualty. The city was lovely before it was ruined by high tech money and homelessness.
Before the hippie movement brought it down
Same people bringing down the country still today!
The hippies did not being down SF. They added to its fame and color.
@@HerAeolianHarp Sure they did. The colors they saw came from the acid they dropped.
I thought the sodomites brought it down
Is.t it from the 40s and 50s? In the 60s were totally different cars and fashion.
One part is the late 60s one part is the early 60s

TWO PARTS TO THIS FILM, ONE IS FIFTIES OTHER IS SIXTIES ! NEWEST CAR SEE TOTAL FILM, 1964 CHEVROLEF !
This is the 50's not the 60's
There are vehicles from the early to mid 1960s in several scenes, so at least part of the video is from the 1960s.
At 2:04 there are a 1960 Dodge Dart and a 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle.
