1952 - Detroit & Louisville - Unknown Home Movie - 16mm Kodachrome Film

This short 1 minute film was found on a 16mm camera spool at a weekend vintage market in Toronto just a couple months ago. It was in a shoe box with a bunch of other camera accessories and lens filters. I paid $5 for it.

Alot of Neon Sign Night Footage was taken in Nashville. I shared your video with a local Nashville History Group and they confirmed the exact route the drivee took with business directories, maps and photos from the time period. I clipped the Nashville section of your video, did some slight editing, and shared it on my channel but included your details and a link to the entire footage and your channel, . Thank you so much for saving and sharing.
