45 Wonderful Color Photographs Capture Streets of the U S in the 1950s and 1960s

[@Fluffimuff]

There's something about this music that just really gets to my soul as I'm watching these pictures go by. Causes a deep homesick feeling.

[@kennyc388]

SO glad I grew up in the 50's and 60's ! Kids now have no idea how awesome it was in those days.

[@johnshields6852]

Born in 1960 I remember seeing family photos of 1950's car, two-tone, aqua and white, I love the cars from that era, earliest memories standing on the front seat while my Mom drove, brings a smile, thank you😁

[@flybyairplane3528]

Thanks for the ‘TRIP’ love to check out the cars, one had 3 different year CHEVROLET, NICE MEMORIES! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@sueannstewart5821]

Wonderful pictures,of days gone by.Could cry a river over the differences now!

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I love looking at these pictures of my wonder year’s, it makes me desire my youth again, love those cars & the very thought of my loving grandparent’s being a live at this time, plus so many other family member’s & friends who are deceased. Thank you for showing us your wonderful pictures.👍🥰

[@garyhess7439]

As a kid growing up in the 50s and 60s I have many fond memories.Thank you for sharing with us,

[@thevacdude]

Such lovely photos of the past. Thanks for sharing.

[@carolsmith5151]

Truly enjoyed this video -- it brought back a LOT of memories. Had to smile at the sign "50¢ Saturday parking" -- today it's $40 parking (and that's just for an NFL game!). Somehow life seemed better way back when (perhaps that's because I was young then). Thank you -- your work is appreciated!!

[@pjfoltz8810]

I love watching these videos. The scenery, the people, and the cars of the day. Thank you for sharing!

[@leanajo754]

Welcome back, Yesterday Today!!! I miss your beautiful youtube page of beautiful photos of the past.

[@marygrant882]

I feel so calm seeing those. We weren't constantly worried about world wide events

[@debbieblaylock9997]

Good to see you back in

[@bigjongoose4384]

Lost you guys a while back. So glad your back. Really enjoy looking at our history. Keep it up and we will watch.

My gosh, some of these photos are so clear , it's like you're! Judging by the cars, many of these images are circa 1960. America was certainly a different place back then.

[@kennyc388]

Wasn't near as insane as it is now. Things have been getting somewhat scary.

[@markheithorn3905]

Good to see you back.

[@muffassa6739]

Great pictures 😌🙂

[@danbgt]

Love them. Makes me homesick for my childhood. I guess that would be timesick. 😂

[@kennyc388]

Totally agree, but I have a nice 1940 Ford to cheer me up when I'm feeling low.

[@seandelap6268]

This is absolutely fascinating.

[@hiramlofton9464]

Thanks for including a picture of the Radium Springs Casino. An Albany, Georgia landmark since the 1920's. Sadly it was destroyed by massive flood in 1994.

[@marygrant882]

White wall tires! Bring em back, they're beautiful!

[@cindakellogg1307]

I enjoy these videos so much, it would be nice if you could include the names of the cities/towns if possible.

[@rogersmith4834]

Right. Give us street names, or at least tell us what towns we're seeing. Like it is, we're lost.

[@navret1707]

Sherman, set the Wayback machine for 1950. Okay, Mr. Peabody.

[@calbob750]

Vivid images of yesterday would be lost without Kodachrome.

[@lastnamefirstname7950]

Back when everything was Made In America!

[@peterflorino9016]

Great pictures. But it’s always a huge plus if you would identify each city. Big help in a viewer appreciating the each.

[@ilanamillion8942]

Cars sure came in an array of colours back in the '50s - many more than we see nowadays. Cars are safer now but in the 1950s cars were exciting.

[@ed777tx-edward8]

Great video, would love to see captions of where they were shot ? Too bad Hudson and Studebaker went bankrupt. Should’ve been some way they could have been integrated into a larger company say GM or Ford? Thank you for sharing.

[@stokerboiler]

Yup. That's what the streets looked like. Before strip shopping centers trashed downtown retail.

[@harrybriscoe7948]

There was not enough parking

[@stokerboiler]

That was exactly why shopping centers and malls ran the "downtown" out of business. It didn't take long - maybe 5-7 years.

[@rachelc.5463]

Kresge's downtown Bluefield, West Virginia, I can still smell the donuts before entering store those were the days.

[@chrisackerley1842]

Who was Dave Gelinas? The man had a gift! Looking at his photos is like lokking through a window into the past.

[@chrisackerley1842]

Thank you, and keep up the good work! I would like to see a gallery of photos of mining in the West, from the 1860's through the 1930's. Can you do it? Bye the way, the all time peak year for gold mining in California was 1939. Gold mining never recovered after WW II.

[@raysiat4230]

There was space when the world's popn was 3 billion. 2,6 time that now. Crowded.

[@catzeiler]

Cold war, Korean war, nuclear threat, Cuba crisis, Vietnam

[@Kenzie5011]

Love the pics. You should give credits to the musician, even though it’s royalty free, however.

[@Leesek1011]

Great music, doesn’t interrupt the flow…almost hypnotic. does anyone know who it is?

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

Contrary to popular believe we had color film in the 1950s and 60s. It was just more expensive as was development cost.

[@johnshields6852]

We never locked the front door to our house, I'd leave my bike anywhere for hours and you never even thought of it being stolen, honest, straight talking people, Imagine that.

[@ghostfacezeso]

Can you put the year of when each photo was taken?

[@grassblade63]

I love these photo collections, I do, but why do you have the music in minor keys? It makes it seem so morose and like something bad is going to happen, or has happened. How about something like a light jazz in a major key? Much happier music.

[@caliden3785]

I wasn't a big fan of the music before but it has grown on me.

[@kepeli5984]

Is it just me or do all of the videos in this series end strangely abruptly? I always feel like I'm missing something at the very end.

[@stokerboiler]

They say the past is a foreign country.

[@michaelcompton1553]

What’s the name of that jazzy trumpet number?

[@myriamramirez8494]

😍😍❣

[@vernwallen4246]

🗽🗽🗽👍👍👍🐕🐈

[@GordoGambler]

Weird how these pics show decrepit buildings from the 1910s and 20s. LOL. The golden age of brick. It's like they still weren't building new ones till the 70s. It's great hearing these songs again. Kresge's was gone 45 years ago I think. Damn, I took hardly any pics with people in them.

[@ludicrous7044]

Pictures are time machines. I didn’t know there was a two door station wagon!! My Father had a four same color!! My friend had a red Buick convertible. He would get smashed-argue with his wife and blast up the driveway bouncing off trees and curbs!! 🥺Such a waste!!

[@GordoGambler]

I don't remember 2 door wagons either. Likely a "business" incarnation aka the business coupe in the 1930s. For Amway, toasters and vacuum salesmen. LOL. I hate convertibles.

[@michaelmullin7941]

Grim.
