After WWII it was about families, parenting and respecting your elders, parents and discipline. Many of our political leaders today no longer care about values, God and country. I would give everything up to have lived after WWII to enjoy the 50s-60s and while things were still in balance. Today we have a society that no longer respects the rule of law and having the ability to stand for something that had meaning. America the Beautiful that was once our saying. I enjoy these videos and they make you realize life was a better place back then even though we always had issues and problems, but nothing like today. Thank you for allowing all of us to enjoy these timeless moments!

[@tripsadelica]

This was, arguably, the greatest period in American history...the true birth of the middle class thanks to good wages. Companies were booming and employment was there for the taking. Companies stayed onshore and employed more and more people in more extensive factories. Then, slowly but surely, it fell apart. Economists and manufacturers discovered globalisation and the great exodus of blue collar jobs began. First they went to Japan and now China and Mexico. The companies that grew rich through the sweat and hard work of honest Americans dumped those same Americans to fly offshore for cheaper labour. It was all about the might dollar and obscene profits on shares and for CEOs. Now there are many cities and towns in the US which are shadows of their former selves. Whole suburbs abandoned in Detroit and rot everywhere. Cities full of crazed drug addicts and the poor because there are precious few manual labour jobs and good paying factory jobs. Now if you look at China the situation is paralleling the US model. The middle class in China is booming because of plentiful blue collar jobs. People in China have become more affluent. They think nothing of sending their kids overseas to travel, buying real estate in Australia or Canada and buying shiny new cars built by the explosion of car makes over there. And just who financed this boom in China? Why we did...our taxes. our companies our technologies.

At 6:18 "1956 Chevy (location unknown)" . That sure looks like Mount Timpanogos in Utah, probably taken outside of Provo. I spent many a day looking at "the sleeping maiden".

And to think I once bought a perfect 56 Chevy for 50 bucks. Sometimes it hurts (in a good way) to see these.

It would be interesting to see photos of Mt St Helens in the 50's and 60's...before all hell broke loose..
