I know this may not sound like much of a big deal but one of my best memories is of my dad and I helping the conductor turn the cable car around at Powell. It made me feel like a genuine part of "The City". Thank you again for the great film footage!
thank you so much
I'm right with you on this. As a teen, it was awesome to push the car on the turntable.
@@lifewithjosef Love these ghostly remastered trips back in time...
At 2:58 - The grocery store that has a sign advertising Christopher Milk. The guy who owned Christopher Dairy would later become Mayor Christopher of San Francisco, I believe in the early 1960s.
Yup I remember that too. Christopher owned a dairy and also a big sugar refinary that later became C & H Sugar in the East Bay
George Christopher was mayor of San Francisco from 1956 through 1964.
As a veteran cameraman, I couldn't help notice that this was one of the few videos that incorporated handheld photography. It brought everything a little closer and more personal. Another great piece of work NASS!
You never know what you've lost till its gone 😢 .
IOW you never know what you've lost until you've lost it. Deep.
Yeah like that person who spilled their groceries and they're all rolling down the street. 😂
NAFTA and the internet shifted trade winds.
Crazy how 40s-50s kept the same look and then sometime around 57-60s it completely changed
Helped me to see how it was for my father. He was from San Jose but went to college at USC in LA starting in 1955. It warmed my heart to see this - it connected my to him RIP since he died in 1997. But he talked about Cali in the 50s alot! Thanks so much for this.
I had no idea that people had to push the trolleys to get them going. Fun to see videos of what my grandparents courting years/ parents childhood years were like. ❤️ Thank you! Also, how fun would it be to cruise one of those cars on the nearly deserted freeways!
There was no cable under the cable car turn table. After the cable car was turned around, it had to be pushed off the turn table back onto the main tracks so it could connect to the underground cable.
The California and Powell streets has intersecting cable systems (California St. cable and the Powell-Mason cable line). On the outbound
Powell-Mason line, the grip man must perfectly execute the release of the cable grip as it crests California (I recall the cable runs under the California cable) at the “Let Go” marker. Momentum propels it over the California cables where the grip man re-engages the cable at the car stop at the NE corner of the intersection. If the car is overloaded or the grip release was off, the cable car will roll to a stop requiring the push out of the intersection.
@@gryhze Yep, you’re absolutely correct. I used to ride the Powell line all the time and had seen this happen on occasion.
Could you imagine if people had to push start a trolly now 😂😂 these lazy people now they would never go anywhere 😂😂
I do remember the days of pushing and turning the cable car around at the end when we were kids. Thanks NASS for bringing a little bit of the past back to us. Keep up the great work.
thank you very much ;)
I'm a Moroccan guy from Holland and i really like America back in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. You got some real class back then. In Amsterdam, Holland it was the same and also in Casablanca, Morocco back then. It's all totally gone now. And those woman back then they look outstanding! The amazing classy cars. Men all dressed in suits. Love also the movies back then like "rebel without a cause" or new movies/tv shows set in the 1950s.
I fully agree. People don't dress before going out(side) anymore. Everyone glued to the screen of a mobile device. Cities look the same. Borders and respect are gone.
I'm in total awe every time I see videos like these. Thanks 😊
In 1959 I was 8 and we took a train from Denver out to see my Aunt & Uncle who lived in Oakland.
I can remember SF looking this way. It was exciting to be there. I didn't know what being in a foreign country was like but it felt that way to me as a kid because of the ocean and the big ships in port bringing goods from all over the world..and all the shops selling things I had never seen before. Chinatown, the Cable cars, steep streets and the Wharf was amazing.. the feeling to be there even as a boy was magical. It was truly a wow experience.
To think of what it is today is sickening. "America" died sometime in the late 70's. She just hasn't been buried yet...that day is coming and soon. We've been living on the fumes of a once blessed Nation.
Very well put. I lived in SF from 1964-1983 and have no desire to ever return.
Speaking of California my dad has gotten a new job so this summer my family will move there
Wish me luck Nass and keep making awesome videos!
Aren't you gonna be Dad's little assistant. Wishing you all the best! 🥰❤️
Thank you NASS for this priceless video. So well made bringing back the old days. Like stepping in to a time-machine.
Thank you
It's amazing to me how completely and utterly this world changed in ten short years, a totally different world -- gone.
More hate nowadays
times always change....
things generally improve in society & (culture) but in america today things are unraveling & getting worse .....my prediction....
a BIG crash will occur killing millions ...
great video btw
steve mcqueen in bullit really didnt give the real vertigo of driving in san francisco i was near being sick watching the car going down the hill, wonderful photography
Always very clean and tidy looking back then unlike today
Wonder why that could be, what’s the demographic change look like from then to today 🤔
This is before greed took over, and we spent more money on social services to keep up with the cities
Speaking of California, my dad has gotten a new job, so probably in August, my family will move there. Me, my mom, my sister, and our 2 cats will get on a plane, but dad will rent a moving truck and with 2 of his friends will drive there. So that means I will have to start a new life there. But fortunately my great aunt, whose been with us for about a year, has moved back to California on May 1st so we'll be able to visit her more often,
wish me luck Nass! keep making awesome videos!
Frank Morris was just getting to Alcatraz around this time, awesome footage of everything!
The San Franciscan treat! Lost somewhere in time and space. Beautiful video, thanks Nass! ❤
Thanks
I just love this ❤ I could watch for hours. You bring this era to life!
Thanks
I absolutely love these films, always waiting for the next upload. Thanks 👍
Nice the way the video starts out with that 1953 Hudson pulling away on the right on Market St. In San Francisco. I'm guessing that this was filmed in 1958 or 1959 as there's a 1959 Ford parked in a home driveway on the left at :38. Thanks for sharing!
thank you very much ;)
The segment of Market Street beginning at 0:11 to 0:14 shows a building under construction on the right-hand side - it's the Crown-Zellerbach Building in 1959; it was completed in Jan.1960.
Best video yet, such good variety of scenes.
thank you so much ;)
So clean compared to today, where have standards gone.
Whether politicians were Republican or Democrat back in the 50s, they all believed it was important to keep the City clean and nice for everyone. Everyone shared a common culture and values.
This is before greed took over and we cut back on social services to keep cities up
So amazing as always Nass. It just makes you wish you could go back in time to were the world wasn’t messed up like today. Thank you Nass.
So True
That would mean investing back in our country with infrastructure bills but of course that’s Socialism Republicans fight against that
As a born and raised and still current resident of the San Francisco bay area, I put this video in my favorites collection. Great job Nass!
Absolutely stunning and heartbreaking at the same time.
If you visit the Southern California Railway Museum in Perris, CA they have old trolley cars similar to the ones in this video. One of the trolleys is in operating condition that you can ride.
This is absolutely wonderful to see this great video!
Oh, just loved seeing the little boy standing behind his mother and helping by pushing her up the hill.
Thanks for making sound effects span multiple scenes; this way the audio doesn't have an irksome choppy transition every few seconds.
Cette scène où les gens montent le trottoir avec la corde est incroyable !! Merci c'est très intéressant
Merci à vous
I was born in San Francisco in 1962 so this film was very special to me. So many of those places were still around when I was growing up there.
Thank you NASS for allowing me to step into your "Wayback Machine" and for transporting me back to my youth. What a great gift you gave me. 🥰🥰
thank you so much
wow you were born like ten years after this footage and almost definitely don't have any cognizant or worthwhile memories from before being 4 years old so i can see why this would be really special to me. i was born in 2004 but i feel like such a 90s kid tbh, #wronggeneration #nostalgia #gameboy
Great video we love these old days San Francisco the city of love❤ the trolley 🚎 cars in wonderful old buildings..Thank You 😁..
Thanks
My question is this, who recorded all this video's??? Because from the little knowledge I have about history during this time period all videos had commentary to it. But this and all others on this page looks like someone who travelled with a time machine to capture all this moments on camera and brought it back to RUclips for us to watch
Wow, at 0:35 there's a 1959 VW bus, new and shiny, driving by...just like my '58 I'm driving now. An entirely different time in America 🇺🇸
This was the time and place that my dad grew up in. He would have liked this video. It was interesting. All those people struggling up those steep hills! The women in high heels trying to walk up that hill. The people even using a rope to walk uphill! I was there once. The hills really are that steep! I rode in the cable cars. The view from Coit Tower is pretty.
When SF didn’t have a homelessness problem…
I loved the San Francisco streets, signs and places, especially. Thanks Nass.
NASS KING BIG SUPPORT FROM CROATIA
Thanks my friend
I'm from Ireland and want to say how magical San Francisco looked back then. Of course like everywhere else it had problems then but unlike now. I do wonder has the world really improved?
Nope, it’s done the exact opposite. These were the last good years of the world.
No, it hasn't. How is Ireland? Haven't been there since 1986...
@@bobbysands6923 Has it's problems like most places, bad government, still a nice place though
In a short answer, no.
No problems in those days... Minor ones if any.... Today HELL!!!!!!!!
This is how looks like a World with 2,7 billion people only. Everytime i watch those pictures of every places around the World even with large cities everything is still at human scale. I feel a strange form of blues for a time i didn't live in.
It's not the quantity of people that matters, it's the quality.
@@petem3883 too much quantity can degrade the quality, when everyone is fighting for basic necessities
thats pathetic
All of a sudden I need to watch about 20 minutes of Bullitt.
This is probably your best video of old San Francisco. I grew up in The City (S.F.) in the 50's and 60's and I can remember that this is what the city looked like. Many of the scenes were very familiar; Market street, the big SP sign down California street, Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf. My Dad news the folks at Stagnola's (the scene with the crabs). We used to go down there and get a brown paper bag of skinned baby shrimp for $.25 or a walk away shrimp cocktail. Good times.
I noticed that the bald-headed man in the dark pants and gray coat getting on the cable car at 1:25 was in many different scenes of this video. Maybe he had something to do with the original filming?
thank you so much ;)
3:30 I can only imagine the person capturing the film saying, “I got that on film!”
😎 Great staff ,looking forward to review !!! Have a nice weekend ❤
Great video nass, incredible footage of a time gone by,those hills look a killer to walk up,love the guy dropping his groceries 👍👌😀
Thx ;)
Fantastic viewing Nass, many thanks 🙏
Those Classic Antique Cars are so much better than today’s weak fiber glass-metal vehicles… back then they were made with strong Steel and the 50s models looked so awesome
16 gauge steel.
@@williampitzer5534 yessir
HOW In The WORLD Did They STOP Those Old Heavy Steel Cars, Going Down Those Steep Streets, With DRUM Brake Shoes And NO POWER ASSISTED BRAKES? And Zig Zag Going Down Those Windy Streets Without Power Steering? I Have An Old 50-Mercury Having Newer Disk Brakes Installed, But No Power Assist. And You Have To Use Low Gear To Help Hold The Car Back Using STRONG Leg Pressure To Get The Thing To Stop At The Bottom Of A Steep Hill... No Wonder The Old Guy Needed A Cane For His Right Leg, Having To Mash Down HARD On A Brake Pedal Getting Those Old Cars To Stop On Those Hills...
@@davemckolanis4683 that thought crossed my mind also --I wonder if runaway autos were common?
I felt bad for the couple who dropped their groceries. :(
Me too!
GREAT VIDEO SUPER NASS
Back when Ford, Chrysler and GM cars could double as tanks during wartime
I was laughing over that man carrying groceries and dropped them chasing the eggs lol
That crooked road at the end is on full House TV show. It's been about seven years we drove down that same road and up those hills and down some hills 😲. I don't remember the story behind that road but we drove down it so we can say we had.
But in general fantastic footage. Can you imagine people today getting out to help turn the trolley car around? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone would stare at each other waiting for the other to do it! 👀
Hope they pack a lunch!

your last two videos really spoke to me - thank you for doing what you do!
@@machineethics it is a great pleasure ;)
San Francisco very near the time Alfred Hitchcock began location shooting for his masterpiece “Vertigo” in 1958. A very different, clean “polite society” era back in the day…
"A very different, clean “polite society” era back in the day…"
Reminder that there was a ton of racism, sexism, limited opportunities for women & minorities, homophobia, and denial of mental illness back in this "polite" society.
@@TokyoBlue587 Ok wokester. “Homophobia”, yet…I mean, Jesus Christ. 🙄
@@TheDanEdwards And the current era of revisionist ideology as it relates to historical periods is a head trip all its own…
@@TokyoBlue587 If things are so much better now, why does it look like hell?
Beautiful atmospheres in this video, I really liked the scene of the child clinging to the Mother on the uphill road. A San Francisco of other times with beautiful atmospheres, congratulations for the video, very nice.

Truly amazing work, some of the best that I have seen! I would love to see a snippet of the original just to get a perspective in comparison. I wonder where the four little boys walking are now?
thank you so much
I was born in San Francisco in 1950. This brings back memories! 🌉
This is how I enter my Delorean! TY Mass! 👍🏻
Look at that guy chasing the eggs. Charlie Chaplin would have been proud
This seems to be the sweet spot for cities --not too crowded, clean, no hideous giant glass skyscrapers, interesting small shops, clubs etc
I Got married in the 50's.......Much more enjoyable than these times......We took time to smell the flowers as they say and not talking and texting on a portable phone constantly........I bought a nice canoe for me and the kids and every weekend we went to different lakes all over the state.......Too bad those days are gone forever.......
Beautifully done
The sign at 5:14 says "Well known - Oat Milk Powder, famous tea, bird nest soup, rice dumplings, pastries".
Beautiful. Thanks!
thank you very much for your support, it means a lot to us, god bless you
One of your best videos. Thanks.
thank you so much ;)
Can you imagine driving those old cars down those steep streets. They must have had a lot of brake failure accidents back in those days!!!
Most of the cars then had manual transmissions, so your just shifted into first or second gear going downhill - I can remember my parents doing that then when we had a 1954 Chevy.
Fantastic and Poignant !! best regards from Stgo, Chile!!
Another Time Capsule You Discovered And Remastered For Us NASS. GOOD JOB And Thank You Again...
thank you so much
1:23 No one can accuse these guy's of being spineless.
Thank you for making these video's.
Nice Video 👍 Thanks NASS
It posted one minute ago, you haven't even seen it yet. Nice video?
thank you very much my friend
@@JSFGuy I was thinking the same thing.
@@michaelschramm1064 true, it's hard to not notice. It's just drive by posters and then they leave don't even watch the video.
@@JSFGuy Yes, I’ve witnessed it countless times here and on Instagram. Odd phenomenon, but considering the “short attention span/impatience factor” so prevalent anymore, hardly surprising is it?
thanks NASS great stuff as usual
thank you so much
I would love to live in those times,,,no bs.
I have mixed feelings about this. Enjoyed watching it, but it also made me sad. I miss the old San Francisco so much. 1980s and 1990s.
Picture of videos very very clear
a moment of perfect beauty
By looking at this video there's not a SINGLE person that cannot say that San Francisco AND ALL OF USA in general...is on a downward spiral!!!! HERE IS THE EVIDENCE.!
Old days….for us but new days for those
poignant, meaningless. a master of your craft sir
Salam Nass! I usually don't answer on yt videos but I'd like to share that I really like your content and that you should keep going making videos ☺. I follow you since your first video and I saw you getting bigger by time. l I assume you're also Moroccan/dutch (by your name/profile picture) and I would like to see some old restored Moroccan footage if that's possible for you. There is plenty footage from the period of the French colonists that maybe be can be restored. I would really like to see that. Anyway, ga zo verder! 💪
Nass, Thanks for the upload. My parents were still teenagers at this time. At 6:17 the worlds crookedest road! I have been on that and have been to San Francisco once as a kid in the 1970's.
thank you so much ;)
Video yang sangat luar biasa teman. Saya senang sekali melihatnya. Salam dari Alam pedesaan Indonesia teman 🙏😊
legend has it the cans still rolling down that hill
SF is a bad spot to drop your apples! :O
3:29 wow, that had to suck. Anyway, great restoration.
Thank you
Looks like it was acted out for the camera. Probably to highlight the steep street.
HI NASS,, THE FAMILY SAYS YOUR THE BEST !!! MY SON MAX IS LOVING THE CARS AT DINNER ON THE BIG SCREEN COOOL!!!! MY CO- WORKERS AND I WATCHED ON MY PHONE ,, NOW ITS US THE FAMILY ,, GREAT!!!! MAX LOVES THE ENGINE SOUNDS THE TICKING....MY WIFE LOVES THE CLOTHES AND THE LITTLE BOY PUSHING HIS MOTHER UP THE HILL BY THE BT...HA!!!!

Seems like a time machine, like it is happening now... ❤️💯👍👍👍👍👍
What a trip!
6:11 I love that 1955 Chrysler driving down the ramp of that house
That is Lombard Street in San Francisco. 😊
This would be the era of Alfred Hitchcock's movie Vertigo that was filmed in San Francisco (1957).
03:55 she had too much baggage in her tail section

Wow one of the best ever! The Willys coupe parked along the street looks just like the ones they raced on drag strips back in the 60's and 70's. Cool!
Great videos NASS My parents era
Lovely to see my beloved city as it was before the hi-rises blocked the views. Love all those old restaurant and nightclub signs. Remember most of them. Liked the clips of new homes - little boxes made of ticky-tacky.
Amazing that these elderly people as children were watching the rich travel around in horse drawn carriages.
💕🪔Everyone was dressed Beautifully🥰💜
Been to SFO many times. Recognise a lot, but this video shows classy people. Friendlyness. Clean streets. All gone.
Everyone and everything looked so good back then. They would be ashamed of us now!
Don't say us ,,,I have nothing to do with this shit they created,,,,
