Brilliant

1:47 Grandpa's like "Let me get around this pokey Studebaker!!!"

Some guy just randomly handed this to me at dollar tree, I’ve already seen this twice though 😂

Fantastic footage! It's incredible to see everything in such great quality and color; thank you for sharing!

8,❤,

My mother and her family attended the World's Fair. She had just turned 11 years old and the family was visiting relatives in New York so they all went and my mother remembered it so vividly. Mom passed a year ago in November at the age of 95 but her twin sister, my Aunt Mary is doing great at 96! I just spoke with my Aunt Mary last week about the fair and she also has such a vivid memories of of the hope and Enchantment of the entire fair.

Thank you so much for this. I am about to finish E.L. Doctorow's memoir "World's Fair" and this is such a wonderful gift to help my imagination envision it.

Both my parents turned 23 years old in 1939😊

Abit 'distasteful' given that there was a World War going on. Americans eh? ...tone deaf??!

Amazing that in just a few short years the world would do a 180 from everything this fair was all about !!

jupiter intro is great

Je connaissais Chip et je cherchais à réunir l'ensemble des shorts. Mais le petit complément Merry Christmas est savoureux et emblématique du Noël à l'américaine (vu de France). Merci aussi pour les explications supplémentaires et surtout merci à votre grand-père ♥

Do I remember those leaves from a child's point of view and the chill in the air in Virginia! 3:39

1:33 westbound entrance

Drove by it yesterday 10/5/24 and it's still exactly the same lol

This Fan Film Needs A TV Trope Page!

Great retro footage .This takes me right back to my childhood in the 1960s !

What a beautiful video ❤

You should make a video showing the locations today

This is masterpiece!!! 🎃

The old Turnpike road can still be seen going through Sideling Hill on satellite images. IMAPs if you go to the Sidelinlng Hill travel plaza, follow the road east about 1/2 mile or so you will see a split in the road. That is the old turnpike road that leads directly to the tunnels. You can follow all the way to Breezewood and see where the old road joins the new road. I’m not sure why I find this so fascinating but I figured I’d share in the case someone else may be interested.

Great video. The music was so bad, it was good. Perfect fit for a kids day of fun.

4:33 I love how the alien’s eyes get big like he’s going OH S***!

That's awesome Ty for the video.. Much appreciated..me an my wife went there few years back not knowing much about got late..we walked One tunnel it seems it never ended an turned back.. Didn't have lights or anything

This is so cool. My Dad would have been 11 at the time. He and his parents made road trips as far south as Virginia. They lived in Mahoning County Ohio. My Mom would have been 12. Her Dad took road trips to a whole new level, taking his family every summer to a different State by car. My Mom, her Brother, and parents saw places I could only dream of. But we did see the pictures. 😊

Thanks for sharing this remarkable bit of WWII history with us.

Typical Jack Chick/Protestant drivel.

I still believe in Christ as my savior. I feel Jesus came to save all including gay's Lesbian's and Transsexual People. I believe in a woman's right to chose and think Trump and the Religious Right are crazy. Only God Judges us and all the bible says about abortion is it was sanctioned by God if a child was unwanted. Jesus never mentioned it. Thanks.

I've watched this once a year for 14 years now. Great job on this

I come across this video again every few years, this is such a great snapshot of history... the fact there is a Studebaker in it makes it even better! As I recall from another clip the Studebaker was owned by the posters parents.

Most of everyone, not just in this video, but the entire world, on this day, are GONE.

this is amazing to watch!

The opening is brilliant. I must know, what is the musical track at 0:17 ?

This was really cool to see! Recently hiked the now Pike2Bike trail for the Rays Hill & Sideling Hill tunnels and wondered what they were like while in service. This really helps see what they were like!

12:09 Kraft Foods has achieved its long term goal of making Americans obese. Congratulations!

A time machine

Amazing that skyline in 1930. I grew up in Miami in the 60s and the skyline grew from the 30s a lot. I went to my sons apartment in the Beach in 2024 and driving back to Miami I told how sorry I was that Miami now its just another scrappy Chicago skyline. No longer the beautiful tropical Miami I knew in the late 60s.

4:05 my fav part

I've never seen anything wrong with them. Always take the good and leave the bad behind. The message is to have Christ in your life , all of your life so you may have eternal life.

👏👏👏👏👏👍

My parents traveled it in 1955.

I had at some point 5 Star cars (the first one - with wooden spokes wheels. Now, after sold some, I have 2 left. So nice video!

That's 85 years ago. Amazing!

So great! I forgot while watching it that this was 1939 - not say, the 1967 Worlds Fair. I love that we have it here, thank you.

This is amazing. I've never seen so much early railroading technology in one video. I didn't know those carriages had another covering for guests on top.

This german book was scary 🪦

Looking at the downtown Miami skyline at the end it's amazing how the courthouse and the Freedom Tower dominated the skyline.

true 16mm Kodachrome rules! Thanks again to you Robert and Gustave (for filming!)

The audio ruins it....this is NOT ENTERTAINMENT!!!
