Guessing the 1969 Footage was taken during the CNE judging by Southbound Dufferin being closed to all but TTC traffic and police officers on point duty at several intersections.

One of the best street car videos I have seen

[@qu1ck_sc0p3]

If only they had kept the CLRV's for just a bit longer...

[@imannonymous7707]

Wed still be stuck in traffic watching these vids on our phone lol

[@rockybudgeboa]

Excellent. I prefer the 1969 versions more :)

[@imablazeuonfiya]

i know they look cooler however it would be better if they were longer.

Neat seeing Dufferin and King before drug culture took over. Every bar on that block is crawling with addicts and dealers today. Friendly people but all working through issues.
My family lived in Parkdale from the 1800s until the 1950s. Lots of stories and the stories continue.

I finally get to see what Toronto looked like the year that I was born. Beautiful👍👍

[@imannonymous7707]

The exhibition car, boy do i remember that line

[@user-tr9rw7ne8x]

cool footage of 8030 at 1:12

[@cinthia9602]

I love the music🙂🙂

[@SaturnCanuck]

That was great. Except the person who shot the 2021 footage needs to learn something about high frame rates. We can't read the electronic signs. A big mistake made by most younger cinematographers these days.

[@Timetraveltrevor]

Sorry, I tried my best. 🤷‍♂️

[@Humulator]

mate thats how it is in litterly every camera ever.

[@SaturnCanuck]

@@Humulator Um no. You're wrong. It's about frame rate. And so many amateur videographers make the same mistake by putting the frame rate too high. By having it lower the screen will pulse perhaps two times in each frame and it won't flicker. How do I know this? Professional photographer for over 40 years.

@@SaturnCanuck ok i think u are right but its no problem
