Dear Nass. I watch your restored car video's from the 40's and early 50's over and over again at least 4-times a week and have told friends in my baby boomer years to watch them too. The Eternal Hope Music in the early 1950 California one IS PERFECT For remembering back to our younger years. But another with Jazz music sounded HORRIBLE, yet others with street and car traffic noise were WELL DONE Too. PLEASE Keep them up as long as you can for others to come across and enjoy too. GREAT JOB in Restoration. 5-Stars Credit TO YOU. Thanks Again. Dave.

3:00 Angelenos began guzzling Eastside Beer in 1907, after a Bavarian immigrant and veteran brewer named George Zobelein purchased the Los Angeles Brewing Company and introduced a new line of beers based on his recipes. With his brewery located on the east bank of the Los Angeles River (the present-day site of the Brewery Art Colony), Zobelein named his brews-ranging from a light pilsener to a heartier bock-Eastside. It soon became one of the town’s bestselling brands.

[@ApartmentKing66]

@@cancel1913 Each generation raised to be more Godless than the one before. With that came a change in mores, the coarsening of society, politicians, academia, and Supreme Court Justices more and more leftist. In 1950, couples living together was unheard of, abortion wasn't legal, much less used as a form of convenient birth control, and there was a widespread belief in God and the Judeo-Christian tradition and its role in society. No, no one was perfect, but worldviews were a lot different than those of today. In 1962, the atheists were allowed to have their way, and the Judeo-Christian God and prayer were disallowed from public schools, in 1973, the door was flung open to abortion across the board, and then in 2015, the Supreme Court struck down all same-sex marriage bans in all states.

Best oranges I've ever had. We had Rod wetherwax and his collies behind us and one of them freely roamed our street. Everyone knew that dog with the twisted muzzle. As for the music, thanks for including Billie Holliday singing Strange Fruit, an iconic song written to try to get a lynching law, which has not yet happened. Abel Mirapol, the man who adopted Michael and Robert Rosenberg after the execution of both their parents as spies. (yeah, sure),. He had to change his name on the song to Lewis Allen as Huac made sure he was blackballed under his own name. History is full of tidbits like this.

Interesting mix of cars, some 1950 models but also some leftover from the 1930s. The war halted auto production, of course, and production was just ramping fully up again around the time of this video.

This Comment Is Written In October Of 2022. And Out Of ALL Of The Other Remastered Auto Films That NASS Has Made, (After This One In April Of 2021), THIS One, (With The Color And PERFECT Added Music), IS THE BEST ONE, In My Opinion. Please Keep It Posted Nass, To Bring Back The Feeling Of A WONDERFUL, More Relaxed Unhurried Time That Our Country Has Forgotten About To Enjoy. FIVE STARS INDEED For This One NASS...

Many places and buildings on San Fernando rd still look like the ones shown here. Beautiful clip.

🛑🛑🛑⚠️⚠️⚠️ Thank you for sharing such amazing vids , I feel traveling to a previous re-encarnation lifetime !!. As reference, this is not 1940's but early 1950's , that's what it looks like according to the cars .

[@NASS_0]

🥰 late 1940s i think

[@emjayay]

@@NASS_0 No, definitely four 1950 cars, so it had to be at least winter of 1950.

Was unexpectedly recommended this video. I am glad I viewed this video to view people driving in the 1950s. I bet it was it was a blast driving that road then. Not sure about now with LA's traffic. Caught at the right time, I can imagine the road still being fun to drive. When I visited Los Angeles in 2013, I enjoyed driving on the city streets to get a bigger picture of the city. When I can visit again, I will have to find myself on this road. Thanks for uploading and sharing your fantastic work!

[@NASS_0]

Thx!! 🥰

[@urbana11229]

In the beginning of the video. the blue car behind you - was he driving legally? He appears to me to have his left wheels in the right lane and his right wheels in the left. No other cars seem to be doing that.

[@1-SmallStep]

Oh, how I miss the 50s growing up in SoCal. It was truly paradise. Everyone was so happy and laid back. I remember when the freeways were wide open and Disneyland was in an orange grove.

“The brewery on North Main had a giant "Eastside" neon logo on the roof and a brass bust of the brewery's eagle-on-a-globe logo representation at their entrance at the corner of North Main and Moulton. It wasn't until some time later that the blue "Pabst" neon replaced that, and the brass sculpture of the old brewery logo disappeared.

The shoe box Ford that eventually passes the Nash was cool with spotlight and skirts. Hot rodder! Spotted a Crosley on the way back too.

[@franklyspeaking4480]

I view these old videos & videos of pictures with delight now. A few years ago I was watching a video of vintage NY pics. (1st time ever) Im from Buffalo. To my surprise, my Grandma was in one of the pictures. I had to stop the video because I couldn't see it, tears streaming down because I had not seen her since 1980, when she passed from brain cancer. I only have that 1 pic, a screenshot of her. You guys may not realise the importance of making these videos, but just know you are showing loved ones from yesteryears. Thank you ! ✌N ❤

[@itsawolf]

This is, at the earliest, 1950 as that is the model year of the Ford Coupe at the beginning.

[@NASS_0]

Ford V8 1949

[@itsawolf]

The 49 has small, round turn signals and the 50 has large rectangles on each fender above the bumper like the one in the movie.

[@davemckolanis4683]

Itsawolf has his timing backwards. At the LATEST it's 1950. Because of the 1950 Ford at the start of the film, and the Backend of a black 1950 Mercury going in the opposite direction.

[@dfb1976]

This is brilliant , would love to see more such videos

[@michaelsullivan5588]

Cars back then didn’t go “beep, beep” so much as they went “honk, honk”.

In 1954 attending ET school on Treasure island,a buddy invited to visit his home near the Mission in the Valley. His family,the Lombardo's had moved from Buffalo,NY,nice change weather wise.I remember the open fields,farms etc went on to Redondo Beach ,Beverly Hills, Hollywood.etc.What really stands out were the telephone poles and empty land....gone forever!

[@-oiiio-3993]

[@harponercam]

About the time that Ritchie (Valenezuela) Vallens was moving to Pacoima, up the left side of this San Fernando Road I think.

[@stuartkline1611]

RIP Ritchie Valens. My former wife and I flew from Istanbul to visit his grave in 1997 and called on his aunt Eugenia (?) at the newly opened Ritchie Valens Community in Center in Pacioma.

[@stuartkline1611]

Her name was Ernestine Reyes. A lovely woman who was very kind to us.

[@scdevon]

Good to see so many Mom and Pop businesses and hardly any douchebag "chain" stores and restaurants.

[@KaliKali-hv9bt]

I live in Sherman Oaks...I LOVE looking at vintage photos of what this area looked like in those times.

[@imapaine-diaz4451]

Interesting to see Marvin Whiteman's cow pasture on the right, later Whiteman Airport. I flew into there doing touch & go's many times as an air cadet from the Van Nuys ANG squadron in the sixties.

Type of scenery James Dean saw for the last time on September 30, 1955 as he drove through the San Fernando Valley after filling up his Porsche Spyder "Little Bastard" at Casa de Petrol on Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks on his way to a car race in Salinas.

[@jaykaiser1754]

Who? Oh an actor. Found the American.

[@superian3484]

The ambient street/traffic noise soundtrack is infinitely more captivating. With the music I feel like I’m watching a movie, with the traffic sounds…I’m there!

[@bradford2177]

Why can 't that dude pick a lane? I see nothing has changed as far as annoying drivers. They had them back then too.

[@burtpanzer]

I think he's probably with the film crew...

[@daviddraper6240]

I wonder if he made it to the 1960s..

[@jaykaiser1754]

Meh who cares

[@burtpanzer]

@@jaykaiser1754 I'm just guessing here Jay, but if you are American, what you were told in school about your country is not only untrue, but was intended to give unknowing students a negative opinion about our history, making them less patriotic, to not care enough to defend our freedom. White people created everything through Capitalism, not slavery, which had only a handful of owners. Nobody had them doing any skilled labor nor did even one slave work at a gas station. Federal funded education is run by owners of media who also lie about racism and cops... it's fake news.

[@-oiiio-3993]

@@burtpanzer Why are you offering up your politically biased drivel? Who said anything about slavery or "racism and cops"? This is a film from about 1950, not 1850.
