The only Ford Mustang I new in paisley was white / cream ? And parked at the top of school Wynd in paisley and years later had a for sale sign on it I always admired it. Ps my name is Frank. Gillespie and 2020 own the car sales and car wash on the left in the first 5 seconds of this video and at the age of 16 lived in 71 maxwelton road ie the first door on the left of this video! In the last sequence The next car on the left of this video was a Nissan Sunny estate owned by mr McKinnon the dad of my friends Robert McKinnon and Hamish McKinnon ! 5 seconds later you will see a grey Morris oxford parked in front of a White House. My friend Alistair Hamilton aged 17 and I aged 16 went to Foxbar and bought this car for £10 in the summer of 1977 and polished it to death and sold it got £20 a week later! And so I know this video was truly filmed in the glorious summer of 1977. RIP my friend. Alistair Hamilton.
Wonder if that was the same guy on school Wynd that had the Jensen Interceptor ?, it was white, was pretty rough, sat in the street, this was when i first moved to Paisley 20 years ago so quite a while after this video.
Incredible that you can recognise individual vehicles and know the history of some in a film which is almost 50 years old. This film must've evoked powerful memories the first time you watched it.
Born in Elderslie ,lived in Bonny Borrheed till I was 20 .Now in Somerset .This is a minted leap into unadulterated nostalgia. I miss the Old Paisley .Got my first bike jacket out of Jaffes on the high street and my mate Stef used to borrow it for Scorpions Gigs.🤘👍
What a difference to now, couldn't see one pothole, no roundabout just up from Fulbar road, no centre islands....just straight on up to King Street. I drive Mcgill's buses out of Johnstone and those roads are shit now. There goes the saying that everything gets better as the years go on. They get worse as the years go on.
I was only 7 when this was made. I must say your driving very fast. It would have been nice to see of the people to see if I recognized them. But thank you very much for sharing this with us.
😂 what a race car 🏎 vision driver...! I was 15, The regal cinema, the bar point, Valentinos night club . Paisley was alive unlike now it’s dead 💀 👍🏴🤪
I would've been 16/17 years old at the time of filming and living in Glasgow. Didn't arrive in Paisley till the mid 1990s but my God doesn't the West End look vibrant and alive here! Couldn't help but notice the Apollo Blinds shop in Well meadow street which clung on heroically and only closed last year 2023
Moved to Paisley, above the Campbell town & Islay bar in 1980 as a 6 year old... everything was still there... for years after this....The Park bar, Goudies garage, the public toilet @ the west end clock... only thing I don’t remember was the railway bridge before what is now the roundabout at the elderslie/Linwood/Phoenix. Thanks for putting this up.
@@bristolbhoy8697 I was in 26 so just round the corner, you’ll remember the archways on dundonald rd at the end of your street and the convent behind dundonald with the field with the bill called Charlie?
I was born in Paisley in 49 and left in 69. Lived in Candren Rd, Blackstone Rd and Killoch rd. But we would not have known each other I'm sure. Memories!
What kind of Ford Mustang ?, i had a 1970 Mach1 from 2000 to 2003, sold it to get a 68 Dodge Charger, should have kept the Mustang, the Charger was a big boat lol. Stupid money now though.
i would bet my last rolo that waas me in my camper outside liptons car shop in the jet station. sad to see how the town has died now leaving virtually no retail, and only junkies and illegal migrants to use them. you got a good fish supper from bruno bernaccis chippy at the junction you veered left at. happy memories before the town got ruined.

Going back to my home town saddens me

I wasattending Reid Kerr College in the summer of 77. Lovely memories
Wow. That was a trip down memory lane.
Sounds like he is driving a VW Beetle 👏
Great memories thank you.
Good to see Paisley before the economic decline set in. Bitter sweet
The good old days! Life was so much better back then in a lot of ways. Everywhere is polluted with traffic now and the roads are a mess everywhere.
It's good to watch wee bit nostalgic ☺
Loving the exhaust notes wee flutters sound nice
Amazing to see.
SMT YA BUS! That was a last from the past. Cheers.
I'd have been 4 when this was filmed. Living at 26 Maxwellton St next to the JayBees (or Jolly Beggars as it was then)
Great video.
Thanks for posting 👍
Now it's Deadsville or Gloomsville
this film should be restored to 4k
I lived in dundonald rd when this video was filmed.
I was 9 and lived in bargarron drive.

Ford Mustang.
It is jarring to see Wellmeadow street full of open shops and bustling with activity
Sweet... i live in linwood
@@thedrummerboy1215 the rock bridge? Yeah thats still there
@@thedrummerboy1215 wasnt around but history like this is my thing

I'm so glad my forefathers had the get up and go to leave that hell hole and come to Australia about 1845 .
Why do people love this video
Why do you love cats?
Because as a time capsule it's magic that's why. Capturing a time and place and way of life that was long ago is interesting to folks to look back on.
Is just a person
?
Hardly any cars on the road compared to today. Much better times 😀👍
