Hey Mate, I was a new migrant kid growing up in Oz Melb 1970' those old milk bars, Holden's, Fords, Valiants, Torana, old service stations when a person filled up the tank, checked your tyres, cleaned windscreens, cars Dealerships with Holden Monaro's & Falcon GT on display and my first car an old HR! Yes life was different as was Old Australia, we've gone old, life has moved on Thanks for the Memories ❤😅😅😅😅
That bought back so many memories of growing up n the sixties ,so many things I still remember and the old cars and cafes ,thanks for the memories of a better time .
That was the Australia I grew up with, a proud Australia, a hard working Australia, Australian made goods...where did we go so wrong today? Loved the Greek cafe scenes, my mates and I would collect soft drink bottles for the five cents each refund, then buy a huge hamburger "with the works" and a large milk shake, any left over money from that was spent on a bag of mixed lollies...
It was a very hard working nation, those old milk bar/cafe pics are great ones, my Parents always told me about the old school milk bars and use a similar story collecting bottles to buy lollies.. I miss a good old take away shop, burgers, fish and chips, chips that were cut fresh and wrapped in paper.. not many takeaways around like that anymore..
I did the same in NZ , we got 4 cents for the small bottles, and 8 cents for the large ones, it paid for fish and chips , and lollies, and even helped with saving up for my first motorbike.
Just brilliant. I’m 58. Raised in Perth and Kalgoorlie. I’ve worked and lived in every capital city except Adelaide so I recognise a lot in this video. Right at the beginning the Holden Sandman is significant for me. I was hit by one when I was 11 and in hospital for just over 3 months.
Really enjoyed the video showing the old dealership photos. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, it brought back some great memories. But very sad we don’t manufacture anything here anymore. This country is not the same. Enjoyed the music with the video. It seemed very appropriate for the era that you were showing.
Thanks Peter… memories are a wonderful thing and pictures do say a thousand words… I agree, we make very little now, before you looked outside and saw Australian made, now not so 🙁
You’re right there is nothing like this today, everything is watered down, the old ones might not have been as quick but the feeling they gave was an experience, each one had its own personality.
Yeah when safety was webbing seat belts, collapsible steering column, and a real new fangled idea - dual braking system! I had an HK Monaro, it was fun but compared to today’s cars none of the classics are fit to drive. I’d never go back, I like my 7 airbags and other features!
In the eighties I had an HQ LS Monaro with a 400 chev and 4 speed manual, which went pretty damn good. But I'll always remember, my next door neighbor built a 327 for his brother in laws HQ sedan , it had a super lumpy idle , like a dragster, and I was taken for a ride in it, it was an animal, definitely the most frighteningly fast car Iv'e ever been in.
Thanks mate.. I have so many over the years and never thought to do anything with them until recently.. I added some new ones.. I have the location for you on this one Charleville QLD, 1968…
Awesome video mate. I'm almost 60, bought my first Charger for $1499. (Common price then, because they came with no warranty under $1500) I really miss the Australia of old. I've had AMG, and other exotic cars recently but I'd give them all up for my old Charger or XB Coupe.😢
@@raysydneyaustralia that’s an interesting bit of info the $1499 and no warranty… I have to say I do love the chargers and those XB Coupes they just look so fat… glad you watched… the old cars just had a certain personality that the newer vehicles no matter how fast, just don’t have.
@@GTZ05 you’re not wrong it feels like you have to drag them by the hair and say I’m looking for this 😂its sad to tell you the truth , hope you have a wonderful Christmas 👍🍻Robbo
Wow, takes me back to my teenage years70/80's... God I miss them times... Australia as it was... Sadly we have deteriorated and declined in so many ways. Great video 😊
Glad it took you back to some great times.. we have gone backwards in some ways, that’s for sure.. at least you were here for some of those great times 🙂
@6:11 My mate David has the number 3 car of the '73 Hardie Ferardo Bathurst Race that was spare car for Allan Moffat. His dad bought it brand new in '74 as the update XA/XB. Making it one of one! I drove it down from Gembrook two Sundays ago after we attended the Cars and Coffee in Berwick! Monster car, that you can drive! 700 Horses ... He once lent Murray Carter his engine that he built as a spare when Murray asked for an engine for the Morley Ford car at a race event. David later gave him the engine to keep.
@@GTZ05 Mentone Ford offered to help pay for the respray/Resto..... David wants to do this on his own! I do understand! There'll be a video of it somewhere.....he was racing it one day and was told to immediately get it off the track! Funny really.... David's a good driver, but l get it. Don't know how they go with Goodwood and other track days!
Yeh was so good right up to the 90s then ,family life was so different also,the gatherings, the closeness of siblings, relatives etc,now knobody is close all drifted apart, strip shopping was a great way of community, the butcher, the fruiterer, the mechanic, the bank manager, the milkbars, totally lost forever
@ now everyone is on their mobile phones, (including me right now) no one really talks, not many people are punctual these days. The sense of community has changed..
There were quite a few VW’s back in the day and they comfortably co-existed with the other local brands.. VW made cars in Australia for around a decade from 1959, some parts were made locally as well..
The old tip top bread vans. Buttercup had yellow and white vans. My parents worked for Cobbitty Farm bakery Bankstown. They had dark blue and white vans.
Everything was just so much more of an experience, the vans look cool, only ever see the big tip top trucks these days… I remember buttercup, I thought their bread was the best.. I’m from the Bankstown area, a lot has changed since those times…
@@UberLummox I don’t know too much about out the vintage cars, but it’s cool as a tow truck… most of Australia’s Muscle cars were sedans, making the 2 door coupes with such a small population was costly so didn’t last long.. even when they offered them in Coupe they also came in 4 door body style and wagon, or the old terminology station sedan..
It sure does, people and service was everywhere. Now you go to the supermarket you are also one of the checkout staff bagging your own groceries.. buy Furniture, you build it.. order fast food, use a screen… it’s the new world 🙁
My heart rejoices of those days, how I long if it was possible to go back to those days. We lived in the best times of our life and were so happy, where as now I am so miserable with the life of today. Today's cars are crap, real cars were all steel not plastic and were easy to fix, we didn't need all the garbage they put on cars today. I owned a Ford GT XY 1971 paid only $4,500 second hand almost new, it was beautiful. Try and buy a GT today and you will pay for the rest of your life.
They were simple, did their job and had character galore compared to the cars of today… what a gem the XY GT would have been, now they are almost the price of a house lol.. crazy…
@ACDZ123 I spent most of my life in the military trying to preserve OUR way of life. Albo and others have just made this country 'just another country in the world' instead of being so unique. Albo can kiss my arse 😆 🤣 😂
Most of your kitchen appliances in your house today Microwave, toaster , kettle , fridge , dishwasher’s, dryers ect are made out of some of these old cars you see on the video , here at auscom west Australia’s biggest scrap metal company record all makes and models that come through and let me tell you there’s more than 100 thousand holders that we have been crushing since 1972 when we first opened our first branch in Henderson. Shame but hey that’s life all is recyclable junk we put value too ♻️
Well at least they are being re-used… I bet some of those cars would have had some good parts on them that go to waste.. hopefully mine avoids the crusher for many years to come 🙂
@ yeah well just like anything at the time that we’re unaware of it’s value until it’s too late , it is a same knowing xu1 gtrs and vc to vk bricks got crushed a lot all the slr5000s , shame but hey and I’m sure your won’t go anywhere as long as you look after her mate.
Some interesting ones in the bunch, Mum had a Marina, handling was appalling but the 6 Cylinder motor was the highlight, gave Dads 4.2 SL/E a run for its money
This was a prototype Holden Hybrid from 2000, it did have some of the coupe styling like the rear lip boot, check out this article for full details www.slsa.sa.gov.au/20-years-ahead-of-its-time-australias-own-green-car
@GTZ05 yeah that's definitely Titan Ford in Melville...thats out towards Fremantle. I'm not sure if it's a Ford Stealership anymore. Don't go that way much anymore . Was in the 70s and 80s when I remember it ...and yes I did call it a stealership 😆
Back in the 1980's when it was risky to Buy a used car for $2495 because if the dealership sold it for over $2500 the car by law would have to be sold with a 1 year warranty
Perhaps do photo collection by decade, instead of chopping and changing? And put on dates if possible. Yes, I am old enough to remember many of these early vehicles.
My uncle had and XD and XE new, I know the hinges rusted fast and the rest of the car had some rust in a few years.. what your Dad did was good thinking 🙂
I felt A tinge of excitement looking at all the old cars charger's,monaro's ford's etc ,sadly today's vehicles don't do anything for me mahindra,cherry,havel,byd all the ev's yawn
That's why I'll never sell my VE ute. If she has to be converted to run on liquid hydrogen then that's what I'll do. Same engine, just water comes out the exhaust. It's an upgrade, if anything. I too refuse to drive a printer. 🖨️
PLEASE please please go slower, the images each need much more time to be viewed and fully appreciated. Would be easier on the eyes too if there were static photos now and again instead of every image being zoomed in or out.
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll keep it in mind for the next one, this video would have been 10 mins longer 2 seconds extra added to each image, the idea was to get as much in without making it any longer for viewers
Do you realise how incredibly condescending you sound? To anyone actually over the age of forty, who grew up with these vehicles, your commentary is really “stale”.
@ well I’m older than you, and your information is “stale” to anyone who grew up in the 1970’s and got raped in the back of one of those “classic panel vans” - so, you see, it wasn’t just about the pretty pictures of the pretty cars that have been restored! Some of us Australian women were subjected to horrific abuses by the assholes who owned those “type” of vehicles - and don’t appreciate the “trip down memory lane”!
@@1ihwsYou being older is completely irrelevant. You have watched the video, decided to be arrogant, and view in a negative perspective. Rape still happens today and so does the other horrible things. Again this is totally irrelevant to the video. The video is simply showing classic cars, buildings etc. You need professional help. No need to project your trauma.
@@noelgibson5956 most music is copyrighted and can not be used on RUclips unfortunately… I did mention to turn the sound down and play your own tunes.. thanks for watching anyways.
Why do people always whine about the music on videos ? Must be the ones that don't realise you can turn the sound down, same arrangement woks on your car sound system. Just enjoy the visual feast.
Haha that’s funny and on point with the cars, we always complained about whose music we were going to listen to, I carried my own mixed tape to put in given the opportunity 😂
Milkbars ,beach life,strip shopping, old petrol stations cash
Well put 🙂, great times, thanks for watching..

Yes mate great photos and memories, well collected!👌

our manufacturing largely destroyed by corrupt politicians since around 1973.
A real shame, we make very little now
I felt A tinge of excitement looking at all the old cars charger's,monaro's ford's etc ,sadly today's vehicles don't do anything for me mahindra,cherry,havel,byd all the ev's yawn
They were real cars and a bit of edge, most new cars all look the same and with all the SUVs around not much focus on sedans or design..
That's why I'll never sell my VE ute. If she has to be converted to run on liquid hydrogen then that's what I'll do. Same engine, just water comes out the exhaust. It's an upgrade, if anything.
I too refuse to drive a printer. 🖨️
XF Falcon - $14K....
They were everywhere, being the top seller at the time
Great pictures but the music drives me nuts!
Can’t please everyone, turn the sound off and play your own 🙂
PLEASE please please go slower, the images each need much more time to be viewed and fully appreciated.
Would be easier on the eyes too if there were static photos now and again instead of every image being zoomed in or out.
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll keep it in mind for the next one, this video would have been 10 mins longer 2 seconds extra added to each image, the idea was to get as much in without making it any longer for viewers
Good slideshow but didn't need the 4 or 5 "like subscribe notification" graphics popping up. They were intrusive and annoying.
4:27 Debbie Harry look-a-like??
It’s her from when Blondie do a tour in 1977, that pic is in Adelaide..
Do you realise how incredibly condescending you sound? To anyone actually over the age of forty, who grew up with these vehicles, your commentary is really “stale”.
How does he sound condescending? People these days find anything to complain about. Go take your metamucil, you grumpy boomer.
@@1ihws I don’t see it that way but thanks for your feedback, I am myself over the age of 40 btw, born in the 70’s
@ well I’m older than you, and your information is “stale” to anyone who grew up in the 1970’s and got raped in the back of one of those “classic panel vans” - so, you see, it wasn’t just about the pretty pictures of the pretty cars that have been restored! Some of us Australian women were subjected to horrific abuses by the assholes who owned those “type” of vehicles - and don’t appreciate the “trip down memory lane”!
@@1ihwsYou being older is completely irrelevant. You have watched the video, decided to be arrogant, and view in a negative perspective. Rape still happens today and so does the other horrible things. Again this is totally irrelevant to the video. The video is simply showing classic cars, buildings etc. You need professional help. No need to project your trauma.
@@1ihws Go whinge to the coppers and also see a bloody doctor.
It was fantastic to think we built near everything from aircraft to cars,now nothing 🇦🇺🫵👍
I know and really sad to see where we ended up… we still build some trucks but not sure for how long
Why was the music nessesary? At least use something that fits the periods shown.
🫨🙉
@@noelgibson5956 most music is copyrighted and can not be used on RUclips unfortunately… I did mention to turn the sound down and play your own tunes.. thanks for watching anyways.
Why do people always whine about the music on videos ? Must be the ones that don't realise you can turn the sound down, same arrangement woks on your car sound system. Just enjoy the visual feast.
music was OK, not too loud.
@@graeme9679, So true Graeme, it’s not like I was going after an award for Audio lol.. appreciate the comment…
Haha that’s funny and on point with the cars, we always complained about whose music we were going to listen to, I carried my own mixed tape to put in given the opportunity 😂
