It's best years were the late 1940s to early mid 1950s. Late 1950s to early 1960s, and a small dash of time between 1975 to 1983 although nothing near as great as the 30s, 1940s, and 1950s.
Not totally true. Towards the end, when he cuts the lain from "East Century" to South Sepulveda, didn't you notice what was going on, on the West Century, leading to LAX or North band of Sepulveda? I guess something remains the same but in a different scale. My more important wish... If the film maker could show more and I wanted to see how the under ground Airport tunnel of Sepulveda would look on those day (I believe built in mid 40s), and could you please add a word on that, if you remember?
Look at all the Fords and station wagons. I love it! No tinted windows. Well before the celebrity obsessed, 'look at me' culture we have turned into. When middle class values were still esteemed. Thank you for sharing this. Hard to believe this is 50 years ago. Seems like yesterday. Have times changed.
I love seeing the open space and lack of traffic. The mid-century buildings really stood out and made a dynamic statement about this modern jet-age airport. Even the parking lot lights looked like starbursts. Today you can barely see the Theme Building anymore with all the boring soulless buildings that have been built around it. And let's not even talk about the traffic. It is horrible no matter what time of the day it is.
@@jacksters19 there is a lot of black on white racism today and even then. Look at genocide of whites in south africa. I speak out for their human rights as I believe Jesus Christ would do. Do you?
Just like I remembered it back in the 60's, picking up my grandmother from the Eastern airlines terminal. Great memories! And the quality of this video is impeccable, wow!
This is almost how I remember LAX Airport when we went back in October 1981. The only difference was, as I can recall, there were buildings just across from the Airport with huge tropical looking plants growing up the side of them. I was amazed at the Courtesy bus that picked us up outside the airport and took us to the car rental place. The bus, in typical Hollywood style, was luxurious with leather seats, curtains, and table lamps in each corner. It was our first ever visit to the USA, and I had always wanted to go to LA to see where all these US tv shows were made. It was a wonderful experience, and the weather was fantastic, just like in the movies. Whilst there, we drove through the Mojave desert, stopped of at Calico Ghost town, then on into Vegas. We then drove south into Arizona and to the awesome "Grand Canyon" Then back to LA for the remaining few days. It was late October, but back in LA the weather was up into the high 80's--low 90's. Coming from the UK, where even in Summer, we rarely see those kind of temperatures. It was a wonderful experience.
Remember this as a kid and almost had a similar feeling heading into the airport as when going to Disneyland during that time. My parents had a friend who was a waitress at the sky restaurant and I would always order a Shirley Temple. We would fly TWA back then and I could spend hours looking at all the airplanes and would be amazed when I saw a 747. My dad would always pop into the lounge looking out onto the runway and have a bourbon and coke while my mom and I would visit the gift shops. Also remember some PSA planes had smiley faces painted on them. It was a great time growing up in LA during the 60s and 70s.!
It's amazing that one could park their car near the front of the terminals, with little traffic. Now don't even think of abandoning your car in the terminal loop. Now it's a traffic nightmare with stuff piled on top of more stuff piled on top of more stuff with even more stuff coming. I can't wait until the automated people mover is complete. Hopefully that will help with mobility.
the cars , the cars , oh my gods , the cars , this is so cool , i love time travel , holy crap , i tell my buddies about your channel just to see the cars , we're all children of the 60's. very cool ,thanks alison.
If you lived as a kid in the UK in the 60's. believe me, you would not be looking at most of our cars, and thinking "Wow, what "Cool Cars" My late father sold these "Piles of Shite" for a living, and even then, I thought our cars were total crap compared with the ones you Yanks had at the time.
It was basically the new frontier where people from all over the US would move to to live a middle class life. Now the everyone from LA is moving to Phoenix and Vegas to live a middle class life. Oh how times change
I lived in l.a. in the sixties in my teens. Look at that beautiful smog. I remember running a lap around the track in p.e. class and practically chocking to death!😰
It wouldn't be until 1975 before the catalytic converter would be required - that was the beginning of the end for that trademark choking LA smog layer.
My first time there was as a ten year old, just four years after this. Seemed magical at the time, seeing in person what I had seen on TV. The same light standards are still there. Thanks for the nostalgic trip.
1:04 - The round building on the right is still there. I think it’s called the “Theme Building”. It is permanently closed now. I went in their once several years ago when it was a restaurant.
This was already the upgrade and modernization of LAX compared to my first and 2nd visit to LA 1957 and 1961. Then there was only the tower and a main building no separate airline terminals. Then came what was in this film. It was a kinder, gentler, more humane and nearly stress free time of air travel. That structure that became a symbol of the new LAX a bit like a space ship had a revolving restaurant where Judy Garland threw a party for her manager 1962 which I attended age 15. There was NO security, no harrassment. People were polite, accommodating and civil. Los Angeles in parts had a utopian feel to it especially compared to NYC where I was from. The amount of traffic you see in the film was about as crowed as it got. And there was a code of driving unique to LA which consisted of courtesy, consideration, patience and thoughtfulness and which was destroyed once people from the rest of the usa and people from abroad invaded LA bringing their terrible and discourteous driving habits and sociopathic personalities with them and not learning the LA way to drive. :-/
I think the first airport is for cargo south a little ways off Century Blvd. Grew up in Westchester . Sold chocolate bars for the high school there in the 60's. Haven't visited since 2008.
When I was a kid, I was fascinated with various colors of commercial aircraft painted planes. I was a freak and was so infatuated with certain airports too. First time I saw the iconic designed restaurant building At LAX , I waited all my life to see it in person. Took me forty years to go to Los Angeles. A few years ago, I drove from Florida to LA.. I drove thru this airport road and was so let down. For it is so built up with mega building of stacked parking lots on the one side that that the round iconic design building was barely visible and it was right there next to my car. It was so run down and really dirty it was such a disappointment but then isn't everything in life especially going to Hollywood and thinking your going to be a movie star just by stepping into your hotel. Silly rabbit, trix are for kids !
Exit with space dome in rear. Dark Rambler, about 1960-1, in front of Ford Galaxie 500 two-tone wagon,looks like a Jaguar and then the white 1957 Ford Fairlane, and then a noticeable 1946-'8 Dodge Coupe in front of the Fairlane.
I love this video. LAX pretty much looked this way in the mid seventies as well. I remember picking up my mom who flew in from JFK on TWA. I was late and saw the plane coming in for a landing while driving on the San Diego Freeway. Just parked in one of those mid field spots. So easy. Dashed across the roadway, and saw my mom coming out of the terminal. Little traffic. Got into my 1977 Mustang and we were off in under 10 minutes. Would take an hour now just to circle around. Forget about finding a parking spot. The glory days are long gone.
this is fun stuff for me since i grew up just minutes away. i believe i saw a mid 60s Thunderbird in the distance, so i'm guessing this was shot at that time. I like that song too-wish i knew the name of it.
I wonder if this footage was shot as background for a motion picture at the time? The way it is shot reminds me of the footage in "A drive through Bunker Hill" about 17 years earlier.

When one had to pay attention to DRIVE a car. Lots of stick shifts and road civility. I learned to drive in the early '70s, when the only traffic was in inner city LA.
That reminds me of 'Dragnet' for some reason. A great flick showing similar scenes is 'Model Shop.' Nice video, and hey, I think I saw that bus last week!
What a different world. I went to a football game in the LA Coliseum about a year ago. There is a nice oasis there around the Coliseum and USC, but we parked about a mile away on the other side of the 133 freeway in Compton and walked to and from the stadium. I never felt scared or threatened, but there were a lot of people sleeping on the street, even in the afternoon. The only stranger I talked to was a guy doing what we were doing, walking back to his car at night after the game. He caught up to us at an intersection while we were waiting for the light to change. He asked us if we saw the fight a ways back. We didn't see it. He said it was 2 guys, was not clear what they were fighting about, they both seemed drunk, one was trying to hit the other with a hubcap but was not connecting... So that was it, the tough streets of Compton on a Saturday night circa 2017, a couple drunk guys trying to have a fight and not quite able to manage it.
I remember signal hill ( in Long Beach) was covered with oil derricks,also called grasshoppers, back in the early to mid 70's. They were also along the coast all over orange county at Seal Beach and Huntington Beach.
Dan C My husband grew up in Long Beach, his uncle had property on Signal Hill! Today is my husbands birthday, 71! How times have changed!! We both remember all the places you mentioned in your comment. California of the past was 😎 awesome! 9/4/2018
It makes my angry looking at how low traffic this is. I live in LA and use LAX frequently, I swear the congestion gets worse every single year. Now, they banned taxis and rideshare curbside pickups, and have an area separate from the airport that LAX buses you over to. So far it hasn't helped the congestion much, the airport is still clearly not designed to handle the amount of passengers it's servicing, it should have gone through a massive reconstruction in the 70s before the '84 Olympics, but it did not. The second international terminal being built will only add to the problems, dear lord. But hopefully the LAX people-mover being built to the Crenshaw and Green Lines will help the cause! The horseshoe design is such a big flaw!
Maybe if LA World Airports didn't hog all the traffic and worked out an agreement with Ontario International (yes, millions of travelers live in the Inland Empire and are forced to drive to LAX) both airports would have thrived. Instead, LAX is acknowledged by all to be a traffic hellhole every hour of every day, while Ontario is practically deserted.
Not for long. It was "for passenger loading and unloading only." But yes more of it was available. My grandparents were deathly afraid of flying, and never wore seatbelts in the car.
Question for everybody. The SPEED LIMIT 35 sign that appears at 2:55 in the video, were there reflective circles inside those numbers? I have a big interest in vintage street/highway signs. Thanks in advance. Great video, Alison! :-)
I lived in El Segundo [a town that borders Lax ], in the `60's. On the 'stop signs,' the letters of the 'STOP' were outlined w/small clear ['''cat-eyes''] reflector- buttons. The signs were mounted on wooden posts painted white, though sometime later-on, 2" to 3'' wide black painted lines, at an angled were added.

Someone should do one of these in a split screen; one half back then, the other side, today.
The era where people were respectful and hard workers.
This is the LAX I remember as a kid before the 2nd roadway level was built in the 70s.
Thanks for this.
Parents made me wear a shirt and tie when we traveled out of LAX. It's amazing, no traffic in the middle of the day during that time.

I wish I could step back into this era and the location. So very special the sixties.

Growing up in the 50's-70's was great. I actually flew in & out of LAX in the 70's.
In 1965, LA was described as a "clean restroom." Since, it has become a dirty restroom.

It appears to have been filmed in 1964. I saw several '64 Ford Galaxies, but no 65's. Lots of '64 Galaxie taxicabs.
That's kind of what I'm seeing. Judging by the cars and the light clothing; I'm guessing it's the summer of 1964. I saw a '64 GTO but nothing newer.

The horseshoe design is such a big flaw!
Maybe if LA World Airports didn't hog all the traffic and worked out an agreement with Ontario International (yes, millions of travelers live in the Inland Empire and are forced to drive to LAX) both airports would have thrived. Instead, LAX is acknowledged by all to be a traffic hellhole every hour of every day, while Ontario is practically deserted.
I remember LAX as single story terminals. Funny the streets are all the same but it sure looks different.
This was LAX?! Free Curbside parking! 😯
Not for long. It was "for passenger loading and unloading only." But yes more of it was available. My grandparents were deathly afraid of flying, and never wore seatbelts in the car.
Amazing how all of the international carriers were crammed into T2 until 1984.
And there wasn't even a T1 until 1984! How does that make sense?
ese video es una reliquia
Wow, so uncrowded!
population density is the killah
Coool song!
I remember ... LAX at a "human level." Today? Total fear and loathing.
This is the time my family moved to LA from Colorado so my 9 year old eyes would have seen this!
Notice how the driver is holding the camera in one hand while driving in reverse.
And so steady at that! Get him or her for my next car scenes!
Question for everybody. The SPEED LIMIT 35 sign that appears at 2:55 in the video, were there reflective circles inside those numbers? I have a big interest in vintage street/highway signs. Thanks in advance. Great video, Alison! :-)
I lived in El Segundo [a town that borders Lax ], in the `60's. On the 'stop signs,' the letters of the 'STOP' were outlined w/small clear ['''cat-eyes''] reflector- buttons. The signs were mounted on wooden posts painted white, though sometime later-on, 2" to 3'' wide black painted lines, at an angled were added.
I want a time machine...😢
Dreamy 😍💖
2:04... United Airlines still residing at Terminal 7 to this day...
Dope
Nice! which is the music in background?
The latest model year for cars I see is 1964, for several of them.
You seem like a fine detective to me. There are some "CAR WANTED" photos at the local post office l'd like for you to look over when you get the time.
