Video Restoration Process:
✔ FPS boosted to 60 frames per second
✔ Image resolution boosted up to HD
✔ Improved video sharpness and brightness
✔ Colorized only for the ambiance (not historically accurate)
✔added sound only for the ambiance
✔restoration:(stabilisation,denoise,cleand,deblur)
Please, be aware that colorization colors are not real and fake, colorization was made only for the ambiance and do not represent real historical data.

But the 30's were a great time too. The art, architecture, the music was incredible. But WWI was hell, so many damaged men and women came home from that. I need a time machine, we are facing so much power in our country to kill Democracy, so many people who are so disenfranchised and kept poor by those who hide behind our flag. America can disappear in a few hours, the insurrection came so close to destroying all we love about the USA. Outside powers and down trodden Americans who can't get ahead, want to take the easy way out and let all of us be controlled by a fascist outside power, to let go and let someone dictate how each of us live. Us "Boomers" are tired, because we know the history of the USA, and its all about war, and the rich dictating how we live. This has to end. We need to take care of ourselves, and everyone from the poorest person, and make the rich pay to live and do business here. Our Senate is full of people who joined in to kill Democracy, they think they are TV stars, egos out of control, abusing their power for money and sex and 5 minutes on national TV. Eventually the Dark ones will turn to war again, convince us we need to destroy foreign people we don't know that get villainized on TV and kids drafted again to go kill them without knowing a thing about them. The CYCLE MUST STOP.

@@SDPickups what the fuck? First of all, it was men who came back scarred by WW1, women had nothing to do with it. It was young men, patriots who died for their country. And the “insurrection” was not an insurrection at all: the people weren’t armed, they weren’t dangerous, and the only people who actually died were “insurrectionists.” Joe Biden has crashed the economy, politicized the army, used BLM and ANTIFA, two domestic terrorist organizations, as a strong arm to bully Americans into submission to his Socialist regime. Democracy has already died in America, and ironically, it’s thanks to the Democrats.

@@Exxtol1; That was California, not South Carolina. Housing in LA was no more segregated in 1946 than it is in 2021. Don't believe the crap social science professors have been spewing for years. In 1954 the school I attended had 50% Black students, 25% Hispanic students, and 25% White students, (and no one was being bused across town). How was that possible if there was "essentially legalized housing segregation"? The house three doors west was occupied by an Hispanic family, but you had to walk a whole 2 blocks south to visit the Black family. Race was never a consideration with us back then, but apparently it is with you now.

In the late 40's we went to South East LA at least once a month to visit my mother's aunt and uncle, so I know something about how LA was back then.

It's true some Hispanic people very in skin tone, but most have just as much a claim on their European ancestry as their American native ancestry. I also realize in the past most people were judged by who their grandfather was, but I don't play that game.

@@NASS_0 The city footage was filmed proceeding south (I believe) on Market St. in San Francisco (you can see the San Francisco Ferry Building way in the distance with its famous tower almost centered with Market St.). The year seems to be 1943 judging from two theater marquees on the left with movies released in that year. Those movies are "Cry Havoc" and "The Song of Bernadette." Other things that indicate this was at least filmed during WWII are the presence of many U.S. Navy sailors walking on the sidewalks, the Red Cross and U.S. flags suspended above the street (commonly seen in cities probably to help encourage much needed blood donations during the war) and you'll see on the right side of Market St. a USO sign in front of a storefront. Hope this helps you with the year and location. Could find no postwar cars at all in these shots. Can't help you with the beach scene!

@@dawnboyd1753 No, I never flew the "six" nor did I ever fly as a passenger on one back in the day. It is my second favorite aircraft after the Lockheed Constellation. I can understand how the Douglas DC-6 was your dad's favorite aircraft as the DC-6B is considered to have been the best piston engine airliner ever built in terms of profitability. Where the "Connie" exceeded most of its contemporaries in terms of looks, the DC-6B was a just a very good, straightforward airliner powered by four highly reliable Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engines.

This was a period in which America manufactured the vast majority of consumer goods, when middle class jobs were plentiful and working class people took pride in their contributions. One can't help but notice how clean and orderly things were - no garbage, no graffiti. There was far less bureaucracy compared to today and honesty and integrity were valued. This was America's golden era, to last only a few more decades and now a distant but wonderful memory. What a shame. Now the 'working class' is disparaged, education has been watered down to indoctrination, manufacturing is sourced out to Asia, income disparity only increases and social unrest prevails. At 77, I am blessed to have grown up in the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's.

Nice mixe of 1930s and late 1940s cars in this. Must have been hard keeping those '30s relics rolling through the war, but then again, they weren't driven much due to gas rationing. Most of this looks like about 1948 to me but I could be way off. A few of the cars have too much chrome to be pre-war, so at least parts of this film are 1947-48-49. Then again cars in parts of the clip (early part) cars mostly have ration sticks, so maybe these are clips from multiple time periods spliced together. Early part 1942ish, later part 1948ish. The year change is at 2:10.

It just looked really weird how they weren't driving in a parent Lanes but on the road it was like they were driving how people drive on a racetrack and my goodness people in the middle of the road when the cars were just driving by it's no wonder that person didn't get hit. Pretty technologically advanced filming for back then. The person that filmed it had to have been a professional Filmer that this wasn't just some personal filming job. And someone did a good job coloring it because most things were black and white back then you couldn't get color film usually. And unless I miss something I did not see any traffic lights at all and the way that those cars merged right in front of those other cars? It's no wonder they didn't get into an accident. I mean I know traffic lights were created in 1914 but not every city had a lot of them. I think back then they relied on traffic officers who literally stood there and put their hand up and blew the whistle.

all those cars of the 30s & 40s were like Sherrman tanks, the carriage was wide, and always a front grill, or something reminiscent of an old horse and buggy carriage - a box with wheels, like a Model T, however car design changed and in this video you can see the stream line type of bullet car, usually 4 door but looked like a design typical of the art deco or air stream age --the look of the future! The Ford Mercury comes to mind as well, or the early STudebakers with the round bullet on the front grill.

I am now nearly 70 and so I grew up in the 1950s. However it was in Auckland ,New Zealand ..which in some ways was like an American city but with an English culture. The houses were more like that of the States with a lot of colonial styles and the California bungalow from the 1910s -20s and the Hollywood style deco house emerged in the 30s as well as apartments. Watching these I get a real sense of going back in time when we were driving into the city in the family car .. although the freeways were not in existence back then. It really evokes the sense of the "being there once more". Great work!
