- 'Nostalgic_Vintage_Retro' (NVR) drive along Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles in early 1960s. Compare street views back then and now, driving habits of the Past. How much of a difference 60 years of progress makes? Don't you think that not only pavement was better back then?
Conducir por Santa Monica Blvd, Los Ángeles en la década de 1960 parece mágico. ¿No crees que entonces no solo el pavimento era mejor?
Dirigir pela Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles na década de 1960 parece mágico. Você não acha que não só o asfalto era melhor naquela época?
在 1950 年代沿著洛杉磯聖莫尼卡大道行駛看起來很神奇。 你不覺得那時候不僅人行道更好嗎？
1950년대 로스앤젤레스의 Santa Monica Blvd를 따라 운전하는 것은 마법처럼 보입니다. 그때는 포장도로가 더 나았다고 생각하지 않습니까?
The pavement looked so smooth and brand new in 1960 or so. It looks awful now and everything is so seedy.
Although the early 1960's footage is more atmospheric, this is a stretch of SM Blvd. that is not very interesting - then or now. HOWEVER, the wonderful music gives it a haunted quality of going back into the past. Thank you for this.
Vibrant & beautiful then, and now ? ? ? Wonderful street lights (Alhambra-style) gone.
I worked on this stretch of SMB at Bronson from the end of 1978 until the beginning of 2020. Saw a quite a few changes over the years.
Then Came Bronson (1969)
I really like the way you stop the action to switch between years. And great music!
The black on yellow California license plates on these cars would indicate 1962. These were replaced by yellow on black plates, in 1963,and you could not use the old ones. Yellow on blue came in 1980-81, and you COULD keep the old black plates which are highly prized, on original cars today. Recent legislation allows vintage plates to be reactivated. DMV also now offers "retro/repro" yellow on black tags.
But the new ones are easily distinguished from the 60s plates.
Looked better in the 60's.
Another brilliant video,fantastic!!
Great content on your channel and just subscribed. So interesting to watch what it looked like driving down many streets.
Thanks for coming
Not the 1950's, there's a 1961 Falcon at 3:00.
I guess it's the time to change the video title...
Also a sweet '60 Cadillac coupe.
It's a shame they got rid of the park (green space). Put a mini-mall in it's place. 😥 One of three I saw.
Not a park, that's the front of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. The previous owner of the cemetery was in debt, so he sold off most of the Santa Monica Blvd frontage for strip malls keeping only the cemetery entrance area in the middle.
@@mitchbart4225 . Thanks for clarifying. 👍
THANK'S AGAIN....WOW!!! COOOOL!!!
GREAT SEEING YOUR VIDEO AGAIN TWICE YOU SEE MORE,,.. FOR EVER HOLLYWOOD CEMETARY IS STILL THERE ..2:05 ,,ON THE RIGHT SIDE..
Love it!!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO
Looks like early 60s.
It easily could be early 60s , however, the original video title 'insists' on '1950s'.
Yeah, many of the cars are early 60’s models.
I agree. Many automobiles are from 1959- 1962. One person was driving a Ford Falcon, which was released in the early 60's.
That Sears lasted surprisingly long. Probably until about ten years ago.
You are right, the building has been empty since 2008.

I live there and i wanna see how that sears looks like i wanna go in but its private property
Wonderful video, what's the son'gs name, it sounds super nostalgic. Greetings from Ecuador I'm Latin. I hope you don't hate me for being latin, I'm humble and friendly. Thanks.
Yeah love to know the song too. Sounds like TAXI DRIVER.
Way better in the 60s - nice and clean, pavement in good condition, and no Japanese cars.
Well, that's my span.
Wow good memories 👍❤️
Except for the vehicles it doesn’t look much different from today
1960s: 😃
2020s: 😭
(because of music)
Back then everybody were driving american cars ... Today they are mostly imports . 😢
Why switch to the other side of the road for new images?
It's a very good question. I tried to utilize less 'fish-eyed' modern images. I think I could do better now with some sort of lens correction image manipulation.
@@kaktotak2521Where did you get the original 1960s footage?
They demolished a lot of buildings. Parts of the city look empty.
