Than you for these restorations!
I am sharing with my friends! ❤😊
Look how big the Pacific Electric interurban cars were that are rolling down the middle of the street. The PE still had a sizeable passenger route system at this time. It would finally discontinue operating in 1961. If you look at the railroad tracks in the street notice that there are three rails for each direction. This is because the LA streetcars used a narrow gauge and the Pacific Electric used standard (4'-8.5") gauge. Also, note the STOP-GO semaphore traffic light swinging its GO arm out at 1:55. Thanks for sharing!
thank you very much
Cool to see the Red Cars and Yellow Cars running on the same street with different track gauges. Yeah, I'm a streetcar geek.
Would like to know, if they had really such bright colors!
@@sotecluxan4221 Google Red Cars and Yellow Cars Los Angeles. There are many colour photos. The Yellow Cars at the end had a green-aqua-1950s/early 60s colour, which looked good too. Again, I'm a streetcar geek, so I know these things about systems across North America.
Smoky at the Loew's State opened on June 28, 1946, so this is sometime between then and two weeks later when it left there.
Hi!! thank you very much ;)
Wow...great detective work. Thanks!
The Great Depression has begun in the USA!!!!
@@user-qf8nc9cc3s- The Great Depression was over at this time. 1946
Good work on that. Apparently, it was a decent film as it has a budget of $1.3 million but grossed around $4 million at the box office.
Born in 49, kind of makes we wish I had gone backwards in time and instead of forward.
Backwards is only good to a certain point, go too far and you might wind up being a serf in the middle ages, or lion food in the Roman colloseum.
If you had a time machine you could, though I wouldn't advise it. 🕓🛸
Some of those pedestrians didn't care too much for their own safety did they? Step out into the road and let the cars stop for you, and hope they do so in time. I was a nervous wreck just looking at it!
Great job as always. I love to see the past.
thank you very much
This is so amazing. I feel like I’m watching something that’s forbidden for me to see.
Yes looks like 1946. And look at the rush hour traffic, plenty of cars around. Another quality restoration.
must be early '46 cuz the LATL A line was converted to buses in June
Yep. Always look at the movie theater signs. In this case as someone else mentioned Smoky from '46 😊
@@paul7TM I need to do that more often! I just got so distracted by the streetcars XD
Thx!!! ^^
yes 1946!
You are on fire. Many great videos recently. Thanks for your efforts. One of my favorite channels.
thank you very much ;)
Thanks for the memories. This footage was shot 6 years ago before I was born but still looks very familiar as much of old LA was still visible well into the 60’s when I came of age.
thx!!
Honestly speaking, i miss those good old days of America. So much changes in one life time.
Keep up the great work mate. This is the history of our parents and grandparents. Fantastic!!
Thx!! ;)
Oh wow... This is beutiful! If you compare this to a video of Los Angeles today then it would look like heck. It's deeply saddening to see how much the U.S has fallen.
About a year after the end of the war. Young men back enjoying their freedom. A year earlier thousands were dying daily in Europe and in the Pacific.
Excellent presentation! A+++!
thank you very much
6 years later 1000s of young men dying in Korea. 15 years later 1000s more young men began dying in Viet Nam, 50 years later 1000s of young men dying in America.
A great way to time travel, by simply watching.
I just love these old videos. Colorized, is icing on the cake. The old model cars are fascinating. The drivers are a little scary but those street lights, are the bomb diggity! 😂 Real life not just a movie set. Loved it NASS.
thank you very much
So many lovely old cars 😊
yes!!
These people would have a complete mental breakdown if they got teleported to today's Los Angeles!
The normal human beings living here already are my friend.
Bet they wouldn't. These people weren't weak in the brain like today's soft citizens 😅
I just watched a video of a homeless man eating a leg he took off a corpse. California sure has changed a lot since in 75 years.
@@newsweathertraffic18 I heard about that. Mental illness has always been with us, but has accelerated since WW2, and especially since 2000.
there are many reasons, but I believe humanity is declining on all fronts, only a few of us see that , as most people are too caught up in "living their lives" cogs in a gearcase . a.i will win out . Although nostalgic, these films document how life rolled by us, and we long for what we never experienced, thinking it must be of a better time. A step from that past, put us here today, and forward to a future with which we might not be too pleased.
You did a great work! Restoring old films with colors and sounds is a fine art. ❤😊👍👍👍
thank you very much ;)
@@NASS_0You are welcome! Thanks for posting your great restorations! ❤
So amazing right. Thanks for all your work and noting your techniques and locations in the description. Many memories in LA and all around SoCal.
thank you very much
Very few Model A looking cars from the 20s and early thirties even thought car production stopped by the war in '41 and was slow to restart.
Amazing to think that most of these people are not alive anymore. Great video 👍🇺🇲
Thx!!
Yep. Only some children here would be alive still . Probably in their 80s and 90s now
Truly amazing. You do an excellent job restoring these films. Thank you for what you do!
thank you very much ;)
NASS! Great video, Thanks for posting this video.
hi bro thank you very much
Its like a scenery out of a video game, how densely populated it is.
Cool. Brings the past ALIVE 😻👍
Recordar esos años,nomás de ver esos autos,me recuerda a Mi Abuelo conduciendo esos autos tan grandes y pesados,era natural,puro acero,no como los de hoy en día pura fibra de vidrio.
Se imaginan un choque de un auto de los 40 contra hoy en día,el de los 40 no sufriría ni un rasguño y el otro,todo desbaratado.😮
Those cars were spacious, but cumbersome. Most were 3 speed manual transmission, no a.c., no power brakes or steering, no radio, turn signals, tinted glass, and a host of other things all standard today. They were simple to repair, but had a lot to repair. Do you remember vapor lock or a blowout?😂😂😂
for 8 min you really going back in time i wish i could have been there to and to live it... thanks NASS for taking me there for 8 fantastic min
Drove these streets today.
No trams, more cars! Fewer people, more trash!
NASS, Love your videos. Nobody does these better than YOU in my opinion. Many imitators but nope. Haha. Plus When I go to cities like New York I love to people watch. Love to people watch in your videos but it's extra special because it's in the past! Thanks for the upload..😊
Hi!! thank you!!
@@NASS_0 You are most welcome! ☺
You never disappoint.
thank you very much
Great job, Thank you. The color changes it from 2D into 3D and brings it to life.
thank you very much
Daily I went to the Pacific Electric 6th & Main Depot to ride to Long Beach. Great ride, Almost no traffic and fast for the era.
A nice window to the past, 1946 to be exact. I like old things. ❤😊
So much for me to feast my eyes on and look at. The red Whites were Pacific Electric Motor Coach. The yellow Whites were Los Angeles Railway buses. Besides all of the LARY and Pacific Electric street cars, there were Twin Coach and General Motors buses.
Its so cool to see the PE and street cars in action!!!
Oh how I would love to step into that world! I'd never return. The only thing I'd miss is family and friends.Thanks again NASS.
Thx ;)
I wonder what it would be like if one could go back, even for a day.
Superb work. How great to see how wonderful it used to be.
Thx!! ^^
Another outstanding restoration, as usual. Boy, some of those pedestrians...I think they wanted to become angels...
It's an amazing thing to see how the past comes alive with these movies. You do a great job. The number of people on the sidewalks is just crazy. It looks so alive, and the people seem happy just to be walking around. The driving looks a little... casual... though. Wow.
Thx!!
Nice to relax! Enjoyable experience to calm down. ❤
I marvel at how cars did not get in more accidents back in the day.
The cars were a little harder to control without power steering and brakes. Folks just drove slower in town…
no seat belts@@richm9455
I love trams. Gruß aus Berlin.
And then poof - it stops. My folks were teenagers back then. The war was over but Europe was in ruins. Mom used to take the red car trolley into LA. Incredibly efficient people movers replaced by buses due to the greed of cities. Movies on Saturday were a dime and you got several. Also, newsreels and cartoons. People came in and out of the theater during the movie. "This is where I came in" was a popular expression. No TV's but lots on the radio. The Shadow, Burns and Allen, Walter Winchell, etc. Good night, America.
My parents would have been 16 and 13 back then. My Mom lived in Santa Monica and told me about riding the PE cars into the city! Its crazy to think of all the change they saw in their lifetimes!!!
@@ericlindenmuth7517 My first TV had tubes in the back and most stores had tube testers. Coins had real silver. And my comic books were a dime then 12 cents. Small stores were owned by regular folks. Party lines on the telephone. Gee, maybe I'm getting old.
I did some investigating and discovered the movie that was featured on the theater marquee.
Smokey 1946 A western starring Fred MacMurray and Ann Baxter.
Obviously, you didn't read the posts before making yours. I identified not only the film but the two week window in which it played and when this video was taken.
A slower pace of living much preferred to today.
Isn't it weird how cars continue to drive and make turns while people are crossing the street? That doesn't happen today
This is how my city used to look 10 or 20 years later when I was a kid. Peeps just hustling and bustling no worries of getting carjacked or bullets flying from street thugs with stolen guns.
A civilized society a moral society
Amazing to see how it was back then. I missed that by 3 decades. Started visiting DTLA in 1976.
ESTOU ASSISTINDO NOVAMENTE ESSE VÍDEO AO SOM DAS ORQUESTRAS DE *COUNT BASIE* E *HARRY JAMES* !!!
TUDO À VER!
Food tasted better back then. Everything home cooked from scratch, even in the restaurants.
Not necessarily all, but the majority of it.
This is why we don´t see obesity back then.

Hello Naas, can you tell me the year? Pre-Pearl Harbor, War Years, or Post WWII?
Hi! 1946!
That explains no one in uniform.
@NASS_0 Thank you,Nass
@ Nass , I was wondering if you have any old films of Seattle,Washington!! Would love to see if you do sir!!
thank you very much ;))
Not a spec of rubbish on the road
Yea and corporations just dumping chemicals into the rivers & ocean! It was a great time for asbestos too!
@@alexandanu...unfortunately, yes 😢
Before Democrats turned it into a cesspool toilet
La basura caminaba por la calle. Mientras en Europa eran asesinados 6 000.000 de judíos y también gitanos, homosexuales, etc EEUU miraba para otro lado...
Remarkable restoration.
Thx ;)
Nice to see Los Angeles before the graffiti, homelessness, trash, and excess criminality.
More fabulous work and another glimpse at our recent past to witness the birth of smog.
Thx! ^^
fabulous, thank you!
thank you very much
Danke!
thank you very much god bless you!
6:05 "Smoky' film title on the marquee, released in 1946 !
I visited here twice in 2006 and 2007. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Another great job! 🎉 Greetings from Switzerland (not Sweden) ;)
Thx!!! ^^
1980s 40 Years after this....
1980s were 40 Years Ago
@phoenix71232 not really ..feels about even to me ..80s clunkers to Tesla's and telex machines to internet ..yeah feels like it's an even gain whichever 40 yr period you look at
@@phoenix71232 disagree with what? I'm just talking dates
Has there been any recent advancements in AI colorization of old videos?
;))
Please do Hollywood, California. 🙏🏽
^^
I'm trying to figure out if this is before, during or after The war... The newest cars that I could identify could have been either '41s or '47s. I imagine that with gas rationing during WWII these streets seem too busy for that time period.
I didn't realize that S&H Green Stamps were around in those days [4:47]
After the war. Downtown continued to be a major shopping destination and there was heave foot traffic.
Thank you NASS
thx ;)
It was a great city then, till many businesses branched out to other areas. It had about 2 decades left. Now its a pale shell of what it use to be. NASS is the best!
I am surprised no pedestrian was killed during the filming of this video geezus 😳
Those streetlights look very old and beautiful. I don't see all the controlled lights like we have now either. Their control over us has gotten crazy and sadly most people believe it is a good thing. I bet those people did not have to be licensed and pay for rip off car insurance!
映画のようだ😊🎬
From Japan
1946? (Movie Smoky @ around 6:30).
yes!! 1946 ;)
We probably would have mental breakdown, we would not know how to handle it, with no fast food restaurants and great transportation, red cars, etc. And nice and clean streets, plus NO FATSO’s, and women in dresses, absolutely wonderful. I want to go back, I was a young boy (5 years old) back then. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
There were hash houses, corner cafes and cafeterias galore. Dime coffee, 20¢ burgers, and pie alamode with shakes and more. Lunch specials were 80¢ and a matinee was 5¢. No a/c, but many places had refrigeration.
No obese people. Are those car horns accurate to the period?
I'm no expert, but the car horns sound about right to me, albeit maybe the honks are more numerous than they should have been. There's an occasional old-timey "ahoogah" type horn in the soundtrack, but since there are at least a few 1920s/early 30s cars in the video, it's plausible that there would be a few older-style honks in as well.
Aún quedaban muchos restos del viejo mundo...
PEOPLE WERE MUCH CLEANER IN THOSE DAYS. LOOK HOW CLEAN THE STREETS AND SIDEWALKS WERE
That's when people were classy and not trashy like today 😮
So true, tattoos have no redeeming value.
I know plenty of classy people in Los Angeles. Speak for yourself.
@@PhancyPants99 yeah and you ain’t one of them…
👍
Different times same system, like animals or puppets a River gives in abundance,a freeway takes your freedom, with psychology slavery seems okay
Wow...A heaving busy Metropolis...Now everyone of them just DUST !
Very good 👍. Makes me want to play Mafia 2 and watch The Godfather again😊
So interesting to watch, but holy smokes, the pollution! There seems to be a haze hanging over the city. Love those old cars though.
What about now?
💯😍👍
I see all electric vehicles 😂
People full of energy in 1946... And no microplastics all around like today... Microplastics inflame our brain over the years and this chronic neuro inflamation leaves us depressed, nervous, without energy and with increased appetite. Folks in 1946 had better mental health and more energy...
Oh glorious, glorious! It only took one policeman to control traffic. He’d be murdered today if he tried doing that. Many people abound because there were no malls. Everyone went shopping downtown until the early 60s when malls began taking over. My dad says you would always dress up in suits going downtown even in the 1950s. He got to see the best of L.A. before it became a slum starting around the mid 70s.
Static
No stoplights back then?? People didn’t stop for pedestrians
Except for World War II I would have fit right in. We all know how the war turned out but according to my parents it was no slam dunk.
一瞬ニューヨークかと思ったでござる🏯😓
the 5 second clip at the beginning of every video is kinda much. put it at the end, makes it much more pleasant to scroll thru the videos
No one has remarked on the most important difference between 1946 and now. For a fact, people had more personal freedom at that time. Think about that. 🤔
Liberals don't care ..they like their Marxism now and demand you love it as well...or else they'll have a peaceful protest and burn the city down 😅
Must be late 1940s, since I see no military garb. Looks weird to see people standing in the middle of the street to board a train - not allowed these days.
"California drivers" haven't changed a bit...
No McDonalds, no fat people! 😆
Nice. But those maroon colored cars look very fake.
Before cultural Marxism
You raving loon.
Yes. Seems to be a scourge that many young people are buying into ..and they keep saying things are great ?
NOPE...
True
💯 can’t believe why so many think things are great nowadays.
Love the past, wish I could get inside my tv set and stay there forever.
Where are all the fat people? Where are all the homeless people? Looks like they were doing something right back then.
My grandparents lost their home and most everything in the Depression . Even though they had to move every few years, they always had a home.
