    The cars' style looks so gorgeous and lavish. Wish we could get back this era.

      The people back then were much better - they cared about their appearance,! But the cars, forget it,! My first car waß a 1942 Chrysler fluid drive. Built like a tank- very ugly,! Cars in those days were constantly breaking down. Very short lives. You would be lucky to get 70000 miles on them! The cars today are much better !

      Cars from 1942-1946 were mostly non-existent due to the war effort that caused the auto makers to construct only war vehicles such as the Jeep. Civilian vehicles re-appeared in 1946. I don't remember that the cars were less reliable then, other than that gasoline was rationed and that tires were almost impossible to buy because of the war that was in full-swing. Wasn't that big of a deal because we could walk or ride bicycles instead. People also learned to try to live closer to their workplaces.
      We knew that we were "in the same boat," and learned that we had to stick together with the same attitude about winning a war instead of whining that we didn't enjoy certain former activities. We also didn't have TV until around 1948-49, and relied on news from the newspapers, radios and/or movie theaters. We also learned how to make things last so that we wouldn't have to search for products that
      were completely unavailable. Products made of leather, denim, steel and rubber were in short supply, and we learned to be happy to know such materials were going toward the war effort. @@robertchilders8698

      Hi @ry491 - I take your comment as a great compliment. For most of the videos I make, you are the type of person I’m making them for. I myself feel nostalgic for these times even though I wasn’t around for them. I hope you’ve had the chance to see the videos in the “Road Trip” series, as I think they may be the most hopeful and inspiring of the bunch. Thanks for your kind words. I’m glad to have you as a viewer!

    A really fun video tha brings back a lot of good memories. There were many more makes of cars back then, and they were more stylish: La Salle; Kaiser; Studebaker; Nash; Packard; Hudson; Reo; Auburn; Cord, etc.
    People sometimes named their cars, "George", "Jeanette", or "Charlie". They were a lot more fickle than they are today. Sometimes they wouldn't start, or they would stall in an intersection, or have a tire blow out, sending the car severely to the left or right, depending on which tire blew. Steel belted radials were a godsend, along with seat belts and shoulder harnesses.

My grandfather had a '34 Ford, Bought in '34, and drove it till 1950 and then parked it in their garage! There it sat till 1966. It was offered to me by my Grandmother for $75, but that's all I was making in a week and I was married and had a 5 month old son when it was offered to me. I thanked my Grandmother, but told her I really couldn't afford it and had no where to put it as we were renting a 1 bedroom very small Duplex. Sorry for this boring story, but this past year, Oct. 2023, I was bidding on a restored '34 Ford that was TOTALLY RESTORED and it was in BEAUTIFUL BRAND NEW CONDITION! I backed out at $27K and it went to $42K and SOLD! I kept the pictures! Thanks for reading my story.

    how the people in the photos saw things back then. As one goes through SOME photos there are a few errors in color that
    show up as a purple on objects or red blotches on faces but it is hard to guess if that's the computer or a person using the defintions in colorization with the computer program. These photos are pretty much outstanding elsewise.

    I love the cars of that era. They were definitely stylish back then. But one thing stands out to me is the people wearing t-shirts, including one guy with a graphic tee, along with the numbers of women wearing slacks. It's easy to assume that back then, people were very formal most of the time. But, back then, you see very few people wearing blue jeans ( or as they were called back in those days- dungarees. ) I can imagine that blue Jean's sales exploded by the 1950s, what with people like Marlon Brando sporting them in movies, and movies tend to influence fashion.

      Hey, @davidlovatt2335 - Thanks so much for your kind words. I too love looking at these all these old cars. Stay tuned, as I’ll be putting together a similar video soon with cars and people of the 1950s.

    Back at a time when men and women looked like they put a little thought into the way they dressed before going out.

    Ver essa nostalgia nos dias de hoje, nos remete a um tempo glorioso e por demais charmoso. Não é à toa que hoje o norte-americano idolatra os velhos e bons automóveis de um tempo quase milagroso. É uma pena que o brasileiro não tem muito desse saudosismo que faz da história a propulsão da criatividade. E olha que tivemos carros lindíssimos e até bons diante da pobreza tecnológica da época.

    Compared to cars today, those cars are as big as some NY apartments.

    Sure America had problems back then but not like today. People seemed so calm and happy. A simpler time. No Smartphones, tablets, personal computers. Families had breakfast together and dinner together. They talked. Now kids stay in texting on their phones or playing idiotic video games. People had respect for themselves and the police!
