This isn’t no Hollywood remake... just pure 50’s nostalgia!
Just about the coolest thing iv'e ever seen on film
Bobs Big Boy statue was made by my father Bill Swan along with many other iconic fiberglass statues which are in the Amazon book for only 14.99 it's called "The man behind the mufflerman ".
Wow! I've loved that Bob statue, since I was a child, and one Big Boy survived long enough that I could take my child's picture with it.
I wanna go back in time and see this
I remember such an atmosphere as a small kid on the east coast from the back seat of a 55' Rocket 88 Oldsmobile 2dr/ht in 1959. A great time to be a kid.
1950s was the best ever the music was crushing music. ❤️
True...1950s-1970s best music and coolest cars. Glad I got to see it first hand as a kid.
I was born in the wrong era. What I would have given to be a teenager back then, driving all the cool cars. Yep, where is the time machine?
Well said Sister!
Take me with you! 🎞❤️🎶
It’s in the cars you just have to drive one.
Careful what you wish for. The 50s were very repressive and rigid, in spite of the sock hop videos you see constantly. The general public was NOT in love with the invasion of hooligan music made prominent by Elvis. It took years into the early 60s for the 'straight' public to begruginly accept that music.
@@nigelmarshallkenyonabbott8684 how much worse could my life get? Watching these videos, listening to the music, seeing how people dressed and loving those cars actually put a smile on my face. I know the older adults didn't care for rock n roll, but that's their problem. History does repeat itself. I would love to own a classic Corvette or Camaro because the cars back then we're attractive looking and they lasted longer. Also, in the video, I saw a grocery shopping cart on the grass. What's new about that? Life today is no better, but at least by watching videos of the past, we can imagine what it was like for our grandparents and other relatives. To me, it seemed quiet which is a time I would to live on instead of the days we live in now.
I think that was footage of me and my white ‘59 Chevy Bel Air at Bob’s!
If you look closely it’s actually an Impala. Notice the extra trim line
There’s another Impala at 2:02
If you have more footage like this, please upload it for people to experience. Thank you.
I can say that I have eaten in 4 of the restaurants in this video around this time. Could even pick out family car in Bobs Big Boy parking lot lol. Quick glimpse of the Tick Tock restaurant. We dressed in Sunday clothes to ear there. Indian Staff. Kings Arms was dark red leather and the folks had cocktails
Thank you for this amazing footage and Music Song !!! Which i didnt knew!!! Such a Great tune ! Thanks man !!!
I wish I could just jump into this video.
Well said Sista!
You are not the only one. I will come with you.
@@margaritalangdo8972 . I'll happily tag along too. lol
Oh I wish this was today, in the late 50s my parents time of THIER lives, and seeing steam trains, passanger trains, freight trains, commercial super loud jet liners and the 58 MERCURYS, 58 FORDS, 58 THUNDERBIRDS, AND WHO COULD FORGET THE FIRST 58 EDSELS, 😭😭😭 . 😉😁👍
A much better time period in America - please take me back to 1960 !
Biden said he'd make it better! Trust him...and watch yer wallet too....
to 50s
To late ...you missed the show.
@@paolo-n2000 MAGA!
The cars are simply glorious. The "Kings Arms" restaurant about 2:04 was in Encino. So I bet this Ventura Blvd cruise night footage. I think I ate at the Big Boy once back in the late 80's along with the rest of the Tolucans.
Toluca Lake is the only part of LA that's still kind of like this.
Toluca Lake? Isn’t that in Silent Hill?
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath It's a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley part of Los Angeles near Universal Studios.
@@casey9968 Yeah I know. But it's also a place in the video game Silent Hill.
The Bob's Big Boy is still there, it's a landmark, so it can't be torn down.
@@JENDALL714 Bob's is technically in Burbank.
A glimpse of a Chevrolet Corvair around 1:22 makes this at least 1960, but still an awesome clip!
probably the fall of 1959, then these 1960 Convair were already on sale
@@markmmv My uncle had a 62 Convair.
This is awesome! Ive eaten at that Bob's Big Boy!
Make Toluca Lake Great Again
What a neat coffee shop I love coffee shops..flying a gas & AN I hop2🥞
Being a car guy and watching this I keep going 100,000...80,000...160,000.
Now this is Happy days! Just pure living? 👍
Great job on this!
looks really pretty
At 1:23 ‘60 Corvair sedan spotted
Yep. Dates this at least from late ‘59
1:23 Is a 1960 Chevy Corvair. This is late 59 or early 1960.
Awesome.
Cool footage , would’ve loved to live in this era ... p.s. take off the watermark ... kills the experience
No wonder George Lucas was in love with this era!
Where is this America today?
0:13 1958 Plymouth belvedere to the left
0:26 an other
0:37 1957
Back when Calif. was still the Golden State instead of the current Piss Yellow state.
I believe that's the original IHOP next to Bob's. The IHOP chain was founded in 1958
Does anyone know where about in LA is this Bob's big boy restaurant.I know the one in La Cienega Blvd, because I work in Beverly Hill for 19 years.
The 1950s is old school
2021 sucks
Yep....America was starting to suck by the late 70s but still 20x better than today.
The watermark ruins it. Had to turn it off after ten seconds.
@@msw7021 It's not the length of the video that maters. It's the content. I love seeing stock footage of mid 20th Century classic cars. Anybody who watermarks such beautiful footage deserves to get their ears cut right off the side of their heads.
Well Getty Images must own the footage so the uploader is probably lucky the video is still even up. If you want, pay Getty the fee to use it and make your own video. I'll watch it.
Whittier blvd
Back when California voted red as their blood💕
Yep.
Back when "red" meant "communist", before the news media pulled a switcheroo in the 2000 election.
@@RCAvhstape
Right as the red States were previously described as blue & it was switched. That’s probably why the naive democrats think the republicans are fascists & communists.
When the streets were clean, the boardwalks a peaceful partyground, and the people good-hearted and chillaxed.
That never really existed.
Where’s that bloody time machine !!
You're looking at it.
Ahhh home. I miss it so much. I would have loved to live there at this time. I lived on Riverside drive in the 80’s a couple of apt buildings down from the ones at 1:30 mark. Save me a seat in in the time machine. I would give anything.
The Beatles ate at that particular Big Boy in '65 to experience an American diner
Back before California became America’s A$$hole state. Wish I could’ve experienced it!
My rental duplex in Toluca Lake is now a freeway. I used to live a stone throw from Warner Brothers near Hollywood Way in 1955. I had a job offer from Lockheed Burbank after graduating from Purdue. The LA area was a mecca for engineers. All those aeronautical companies are gone, Douglas, North America, Hughes, Lockheed, Litton, etc. The LA Sunday Times had its want ads section a half inch thick.
WOW! Fantastic. Worlds largest antique car meet.
sweet Born and raised in Whiittier,Calif,teenager in the 1960's,born 1949
the quality of this is astonishing
I never seen so many 57 Plymouths in my life!😍
Yeh...they were popular. Our next door neighbor had one as a cab driver. The car doubled as his family vehicle which was common back then. They just stuck Off Duty sign in the window when driving the family around. 57 Chevys were even more popular.
And this is why I wish I was a kid in the 50's. Anyone else here that's 14?
I was born in North Hollywood in 1959. My grandparents lived in Burbank. I went to that Bob's Big Boy all throughout the 60's.
Fantastic video 😁. Look at Los Angeles now 🤔. What a disaster it has become.
God bless 🙏
Buildings now just don’t have the same charm or craftsmanship
I would love it if some one would RE Edit this vid and get it more in order and Less choppy
All American made with the exception of two VWs I saw.
There was a Renault Dauphine at 00:47 and a Volvo 544 at 01:58 too.
I wanna go back. JBHS grad 1956 Wife 1958
Awsome, and the bug missin a white wall . 😁
So wonderful!!
