These are the responses I love for ha!

[@aaronkahan6188]

Thanks for putting all these together. This one really hits a soft spot for me as I always thought these club meetups looked incredible in photos. To see it in motion is Epic!

[@stephenlea5765]

Thanks for the new upload! These videos of vintage hot rod life are priceless.

[@timferriss905]

Miles of smiles. Really nice to see. Cheers. 🍻

[@murdoc6501]

Wowsers! So many iconic cars and a who's who of an amazing time and place in hot rodding! Go Speed and Kustom, keep moving forward!

[@johnnydeluxe2566]

So amazing! I never thought I would ever see these cars in motion. So Cool. This might be my video favorite so far.

My father-in-law was a Hot Rodder back then. He and three others started up The Toronto Modified Kar Klub. One of many club in the area. One of his buddies. Jack look made the trip from Toronto to California in his 32 roadster back then. We have a small bit of 8mm film from them racing. But nothing like what you have here. Thanks for preserving these.

[@SpeedAndKulture]

Would love to feature that footage! It’s all part of the automotive history

P.S. That channeled, yellow roadster p.u. is killer!!! That took some major work to achieve, and it is perfectly proportioned!

Cheers from Orange County California 🇺🇸.. To Be Remembered is to Live Forever..

[@rogercampbell7417]

Well done some awesome footage in particular the on road scenes.

[@327365hp]

Great stuff! Really diggin' the red A roadster with polished American LeMans wheels, sbc with six dueces @ 8:15 The great road footage was shot from the back window of that silver Corvair.

[@ronstewart9792]

Awesome video. Makes me wonder where all these cars are now, Ron

[@frankjones4094]

Man. They get better with each and every one.

[@joebloggs-st8gn]

I was nine years old in sixty one, Oh to go back to those days.🥲

[@raymondblasee1048]

Priceless footage from Andy Southard, a well known photographer for these cars. I wonder if most of these cars have survived today, perhaps updated to today's times??? Anyway, its good to see Flattop Bobs 32 in excellent condition today

[@SpeedAndKulture]

Working on November 1952 Santa Ana drags + CA to NY road trip of 16mm rt now. Will be up around 7pm est

[@mrdanforth3744]

Is that a Studebaker V8 in that orange roadster at 10:10? If so it is one of very few. Also, channeled roadsters were rare on the west coast, more common in the east.

[@craigbrowning9448]

My dad was into vintage cars (mostly Ford and Studebaker) and went to Cal-Poly in the Late 1950s. He was more into the "Purist" Restorations than Hot Rods. I don't know the Timeline between when he purchased his first "Vintage" car and my parents getting married.

[@markfortin421]

About 75% of the cars they showed in the mags of the day were set-up in car shows. It would lead one to believe these were trailer queens that didn't run, for show only. Here is proof that that was wrong, and they were a total blast to drive...the forerunner of the cruise-in. Thanks for finding these films, so we all know....

[@craigbrowning9448]

Now even the "New" cars shown here are Antiques.

To become a Raylette, you had to "Let Ray."

Another family outing. People that don't understand Calif. temps won't understand the road pics with sweaters. :)

[@redfethers]

Bolado Park is in San Benito county, by Hollister . no such thing as Baloda

[@SpeedAndKulture]

[@mikeself]

Just came to say this. lol I live a few minutes away. Bolado Park is also where the county fsir is

[@xmo552]

@@SpeedAndKulture If you want a cool history homework assignment.... that place had a drag strip that 99% of the locals don't even know about. See if you can dig up some old video or photos.
