Better Days.. Long Gone..🥃😎👌

Needs commentary and especially the name of the cars, models and year

You see the thing is I I'm from England yeah and I would say that in terms of our history is much better than yours we had The Beatles took over not just America but the world we had all the other British groups that the Rolling Stones The Who The Kinks the Hollies sure you had groups like the Beach Boys and you had Elvis Presley but unfortunately think the thing about Elvis Presley is he that he let himself be a meal ticket for Colonel Sanders we all know now that Elvis Presley was getting screwed by Colonel Sanders and using the money to go gambling don't get me wrong I know The Beatles got screwed as well but not as bad as Elvis Presley

Yeah I'm sure the 96 is a great in one way but in another way they weren't so great for United States whether it's beyond this year you've had a assassination of John Kennedy Lynn Robert Kennedy Malcolm X Martin Luther King Jr then you had the Vietnam war going on and you had the Manson murders so in terms of America history is not that great really

Background music is annoying, too loud also.

wow was al capone there then with his moonshine wow

The thing is if you look the wheels stuck out the most so they would take the impact first . and later came the spare wjheel t the back so if anyone went into the back of you then it was more safe . they really had there heads screwed on back in the day regarding health and safety . also they was not in such a race and a hurry . like the old fashioned trains a room with a view . its ll crazy now even your tower blocks dont have escape routes i dunno what happened ??????' saying that look at there style and fashion and also a woman was not all the same and men and it wasnt about muscles and boobies and if you look at your scale of what you think beauty is they would not make the list like bet davis etc but they all had style and indivisualism and they had pressence like elizabeth taylor viginia wolf all set in a room like so may other classic fils . no matrix no specail effects just that thing that grips you from the startn and like alfredn hithcock most was in the studio with back drops but it did not matter ... oh i was born farb too late . so yes look at the racing cars and so much more stuff they were so clever. i mean if you looked at bing crosby etc he didnt have a tight t shirt on purposely showing his bulging biseps or even a gold chain or rolex no he would be looked at as a wimp or geek now but look how he could dance like marti caine . so so much style . compared to your laura croft and kim kadashcan hey ... well it all started with bay watch init , i was so embaressed watching that with my nana . there is a happy medium from a burka or veil and a pair of denim shorts with ya arse hanging out . no wonder old men are so perverted hey ....... anyway the good old days hey ..........

My Dad was born in 1949

Funny that the video should end on Tylenol -- I remember that, before the 1970s, absolutely NOTHING in the supermarket (or any store) had "tamper-proof packaging". Back then, no one could conceive of anyone intentionally tampering with something to injure or kill a stranger...until one day @ 1975 (?) when there were news stories about some moron putting poison in Tylenol capsules and putting the bottles back on the shelf. (Turns out that first 'tamperer' was trying to kill a spouse or someone close to them, but...there were plenty of 'copycat' jobs...and soon every food processor in the world found out that consumers wouldn't touch a product without 'protective plastic seals')

Born there 1948 at General Hospital

The black community ruined Los Angeles !

Whoever made this video did NO RESEARCH on the photos! They are almost ALL mislabeled with the WRONG YEAR!

Really serious car safety was researched and developed in the fifties by Volvo and Mercedes-Benz while american cars where Suicidemachines far into the seventies! Besides that, your fotoshopped thumbnail is just embarrassing!

I just enjoy looking back at America during the 40's, 50's and 60's. I grew up in the 70's which I think was the last decade when kids could just be kids and have fun.

Born in LA 1943, loved those traffic signals that clanged and a paddle-sign sprung into view.

I was with my grandmother in a Kroger's in 1961 on a Friday night (payday) when a group of 4 came in with shotguns and pistols and robbed the place. They took all the cash from the registers and all the money from the check cashing booth at customer service. Fortunately they didn't hurt anyone, although they threatened to when they saw an employee trying to run to the back and, they didn't bother the money or valuables of customers. The one going to registers ripped my grandmothers glasses off her face though. It was a pretty harrowing experience for a 6 year old.

Anyone remember the hose running across the driveway that when you ran over it it rang a bell in the service station to let the attendant know he had a customer?

'we are the men of Texaco, we work from Maine to Mexico servicing your car. An ad from Milton Berle's TV show in the 50's. I can't recall the rest of lyrics but the ad featured four or five guys singing the jingle dressed in Texaco uniforms

I liked looking at all of these old gas stations, but my favorite ones are: 1) Roy's gas station @7:40 that is on old Route 66 in Amboy, California. The price per gallon is very high at $4.99 and up. 2) I would like to find a gas station like this @14:35 that has a price of 15 cents per gallon, plus they give out S & H green stamps as a bonus!! 3) The Mobil station @14:56 that has the red Pegasus (The flying winged horse.) 4) The station @16:35 that has a yellow VW bus on the top of the canopy. 5) The red and white building @17:35 that looks like an old teapot or coffee pot.

By looking at the thumbnail and at many photos of gas stations in the past, many of the older stations didn't have a canopy to protect the attendant or whoever was pumping the gas from getting wet when it was raining. Virtually all gas stations now have a canopy. Also, if you were pumping gas at a station without a canopy during a heavy rain, you could possibly get some moisture into the gas tank, which wouldn't be good. I recently bought gas at a station called Buc-ee's here in nearby Daytona Beach, Florida. Buc-ee's is huge with 104 gas pumps and a convenience store that is over 50,000 square feet in space.

The picture of the Dome gas station @6:56 was taken in 1921. The Dome gas station was near the intersection of Cedar Street and Blair Road in Washington, D.C., in a section called Takoma Park. In the mid 1950's and 1960's, I grew up within a mile of where this gas station used to be. By that time, this gas station was no longer there, but the same picture that was in this video was hanging on a wall inside a Sunoco gas station that was about a block away from where the old Dome gas station was located.

The photo at 0.57 is from the 1970s

So..... nobody's going to say anything about the last picture....which is Chevy Chase in the movie Vacation???

I pumped gas in high school in the late 60's at a gas station that was built in the early 50's

👍🇧🇷

That's why they were called Service stations.. forgotten time

Best time of my life when I was 14 to 16 years old. and was pumping gas in a BA station in the sixties. The girls would stroll by and us gas jockeys were in paradise. What great memories! We boys loved those girls when we were growing up before they had a penis.

Yes, those g-awful bathing suits, yes I remember them.

❤❤❤❤

The oil companies did not like the term "gas station." They wanted people to call them "service stations."

Send me back to the real Los Angeles.

Born and raised in Los Angeles. Thank you for sharing. Do you have any old photos of the Washington & Figueroa area

Is it just me but do these pictures of life back then make you all have a wonderful happy feeling in your stomach that lifts into your lungs with an air of freshness and normalcy? Does your mind wander into wanting to live in these images?🤗 I'm old enough to be a product of growing up in the 70's and 80's where things still resembled much of these images. What the Hell has happened?🤔

My dad and I ran a DX service station back in 1958 and gave out green stamps and changed oils and fixed tires and tune up cars 😊

An interesting look as how grocery shopping nearly remains the same throughout the decades...except for the prices. 🛒

Today, the only Drive-in Restaurants still active are the ones run by Sonic. I was lucky to have had lunch there with my family back in the early 2ks. 🍔

So many long gone gasoline brands: ESSO, Sinclair, Texaco, Sunoco, Signal... just to name a few. ⛽

This was before the Interstate Highway System.

I grew up in a Sinclair station started in late twenties or so .Grand father was a schooled mechanic and built his own 1937 Packard tow truck.
