Ahh... the 50s that truly defines the true "American Dream" the way it is. Back then when America was "America". God Bless 50's America. Nothing can compare this to today's standards.
Sicilians are southern Italians. Both sides of my family are either Italian (Sicilian) or Russian, they to many people around us are considered white. Russians were considered white to many people during and before the 50s, many people like hitler considered stalin and Mussolini white.
ethnic Russians are white, but Jews, who are the "Russians" who immigrated to the USA, are not white! the majority of Sicilians are mestizos, are not Europeans / whites currently in the USA any mongrel with light skin is considered "white"!
People in this world base race off of looks, I'm saying that people since the 50s have since classified either of them as white or Caucasian because they "look" white. Many Sicilians hate being called mestizos
I was born in January, 1954. YES, these photos brings back memories. I do remember scenes like these in my home town. - Everybody was AMERICAN back then !
Women (and men) also seemed to put so much more effort into how they dressed even at home, shopping, in class. Now people just do not care and it is strange if someone dresses nice when out normally.
Nutty college students did that for a very short time. It was a very innocent time, in general. We so enjoyed the simplest things. We savored going to a drive-in or diner. It was excited to see a movie at theater drive-in. The family going on a drive on the weekend was great fun. The younger generations rarely know the sheer pleasure of simple things because they are overstimulated by movies and high tech, always looking for the next thrill. Give me a nice picnic and I'm happy as a clam. Thomas
Other things not mentioned in the video. Middle income Americans could easily afford a house, raise a family, and go on multiple holidays and retire comfortable in their 50s. Americans were also more conservative. The teens of the 1950s would end up being shocked a decade later by the summer of love of the 60s.
I know blacks can be just as successful as whites, the 50's are the proof. They were buisnessnen, builders, and landlords. I know they can be great members of society, and not the bums so many are now :(
The car at 0:17 is Not from the 1950's. That appears to be a Chevy Corvair (engine in the back, trunk in the front) and it was produced in the 1960's. I remember my family's Corvair very well--we drove across the US in it several times. The backseat where I sat was low and uncomfortable and a bit warm from being close to the engine.
The 50s was a gime when teenagers respected their elders. When I was in high school (just left) my friends (all of whom wore crop tops and held their massive i phones afront of their eyes) would push past elderly to get good seats on the bus, gave a remark to an old man that he needed to shut up and one of them had a child and didn't take care of her properly (that baby is around a year old now and still lives with the girl, though the girls parents are there). I am a respectable 18 year old who is a student of dinosaur and vertebrate palaeontology and geology, phylogenetics and palaeoartistry. I would also like to mention music and fashion then was fabulous. I wear a rockabilly dress to school nearly every day and I listen to 50s music. This music has a better timberal range than the autotuned shit my unemployed peers listen to. They still go out on the daily bouncing on dicks and living with their parents while I rent a house with my boyfriend (who is also a palaeontology student) earning our rewards and having fun while we do so
I would just like to say that most if not all children in the 50s were disciplined correctly and wouldn't dare to speak to anyone in such a crude manner
Well hey, how are you doing now? I’m in the middle of high school right now and still unsure about my future. As of 50s stuff, I’m heavily into Sugar Ray Robinson, and Bat Masterson (the tv show) at the moment. Both of which you should definitely check out.
I want to see more of this in Fallout 4. More 1950's aesthetics things like Googie & Art Deco furniture and architecture, advertisement posters, cartoon art styles, hairstyles, slang, the fashion, the scenery items/objects/kitsch (toys, merchandise, cars, neon signs retro fonts, parking meters, kitchenware) and music.
Jose, there is no mention of racism because racism was not a function of the 1950's. It was a function of the deep south, and this video is about the 1950's, not the south. I grew up in Illinois in the 1950's, and a fair number of my classmates were black. We did not discriminate. One of my friends had a black father and a white mother. Yes, in the 1950's.
Anyone who thinks racism wasn't a function of the 50s must be white, and the same thing goes for anyone who thinks there's no racism today. I grew up in Chicago in the 50s and it was as racist then as it is now. Just because racism doesn't touch *you* doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
And in '57 we had a deep ression and another one in 1962. The Kennady lowered the tax rates, including the capital gains tax. Thus reviving the economy. It's a shame democrats today don't follow his example.
My father owned a Corvair in the 1960s until one day the exhaust burned a hole in the floor and the car caught fire on the side of a road just outside of Saint Louis. They look cool though.
Remember folks. We gave up all this for what we have today. Anyone else want a refund? This was what was promised when people talked about equality, an end to sexism, etc. People wanted this life but with more freedoms and representation. No one wanted what we have today.
@@strelingowen7232 How are you racist? Did you, or did you not 100 percent imply falsely, that black people were miserable in the 50s, and that it was 100 percent the fault of white people!
I attended majority black grammar and high schools in the fifties in a large industrial city. Every black classmate I knew, whether their father was a janitor or a laborer, or a doctor or a lawyer, lived with their father and mother who were MARRIED. Period. The only kids I knew in single parent families were white, some of whom were quite affluent. This is the root of the problem of black America today - it's as simple as that.
McCarthy was un-American then. And the woke generation is un-American today. One of these days we’ll figure out how to actually attain our ideals for everyone. Then America will actually be the greatest nation the world has ever seen. In the meantime, we are merely the most powerful. Not at all the same thing.
Right @ 0:01 (left side of the VID) was MY very first car! A 1957 Chevy that I got during the summer of 1964 which was between my junior and senior year at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe Springs, California. My life, before or since, has never been any better.

Send me back to the 1950s, innocent times, respect, when you could bring water pistols to school, give a teammate a pat on the rear after a good game without being sued for sexual assault, when crack was a repairman's crack, teachers who cared, when I did not have to press one for English, sock hops and on and on.
We also had segregation and closed minds. Some things were great back then but many many many things were wrong and backwards. I prefer to live in a society where objective, free, and liberal thought is prevailing.
Ender Skies "Great protections under the law" is very relative to who you are talking about! Defending the rights of some means denying the rights of others. That is a truth we live in today. Not all have equal rights, just the ones they care to enforce! We are living in hell on earth today!!!
I live in it every day everything I own is the 1950s apart from this pc which is hidden away. My car, clothes House even tv im only 35 I hate today's world.
@endauthority I am white., grew up in the 1950s/60s...but not protestant and grew up closer to being poor than middle class.......but I still like many aspects of the 1950s....low crime rate, low teen pregnancy rate, better education in public schools, when children we less spoiled, when people did not live in front of a computer and cable TV, when 2 incomes per family was not manditory.....etc
you are totally misinformed, some cars got 35 mpg Nash Rambler, Henry J and others, V8s got in the 20mpg range. Seat belts were introduced in 1950 on the rambler and other cars offered them as well later. A/C was avalable on some cars all through the 1950s but was less expensive when Nash introduced it's version which it what cars are still using today. They did offer padded dashed on some cars back then. Unconfortable where did that come from, they were like a living room on wheels.
Many folks have pointed out the 1960s Corvair but there is footage there that was shot in France, most likely in the 1960s also. Hardly America in the 1950s!
Vietnam, in my opinion, is what tore the country in half. The divide has only increased as the decades have gone by. In the 1940s and 50s we were a cohesive population, the 1960s erased that structure and it will never be like again. This country is on the edge of total breakdown in 2020.

@Arun999 as far as.your statement......."the 1950's sound great....but what about if you are brown, asian or jewish"......many "oppressed people" from that era opened their own business because they would not be hired by "white America".....and you know what?......they did alright for themselves......Asians went into restaurants and laundries, jews opened dellies, tailoring shops all kinds of small enterprises (long before super stores / malls etc would put them out of business)
@vrietmet DUDE!!!! i have bee feeling like that for a long time!!! Lol those were the best times! man regardless the conflict! the way shit is now adays makes me wanna go back to those times!
Has anyone here seen what happened to los angeles on youtube? When LA was such a huge manufacturing, oil producing area where people actually worked for a living and didn't wait for their welfare check or seen cleaning their guns for the next gang-bang. Oil was referred to as 'cheap' and oil drew other factories there such as tire manufacturing, etc. Watching the old videos of this Country sometimes makes me sad
@endauthority education was better because the classrooms were not out of control....the school systems were not destroyed by law suits. When I went to school they actually had classes in spelling, penmanship etc
You generalise hundreds of millions of people by saying that younger generations don't appreciate life. We're not mindless drones you know. Eating out used to be more expensive (I'm guessing), now we can import a lot of food incredibly cheaply. Kids didn't get more horrible, life just got more interesting and easy. It's not children who are inherently less innocent, it's the media onslaught on them that your generation(s) created, it's your generations' technology that you created, not children.
@JFguitar22 you hit is right on the nose............what you described is how I grew up. In fact it is very depressing because I did live through that era and see what this country has become in comparison. It was so different it almost seems like I dreamed it
@vrietmet i so feel that way. my grandma was alive at this time so i can talk to her about it but thats all i get... sigh im just a 16 yr old growing up in the twenty first centery. but think about this, in 50 years your grandkids will think the same thing about us (weirdly)
Turns out, McCarthy wasn't completely crazy after all. More voices from the past echo other predictions, and those are unfolding too. Seems most of these people I blew off, knew more than me. Being young and dumb, more headstrong and naive. Wonder if we are too late to fix it. ✌
The bill would never have gotten through without LBJ. It was stuck in committtee and LBJ got it out and onto the House floor. (where it then went to the Senate). Stop the hero worship.
McCarthy was right! We need that again nowadays. Unfortunately, instead of 3 years, it would take 33 years, even at high speed, and you still wouldn't get even 1/10 of one percent of the Communists and un-Americans out of the Federal government. It's sad.
@vrietmet If anybody's actually gonna build one, count me in! Hell... let me be born in the 1940's... if only to be a teen in the '50's, a college 20-something in the 1960's, and a chick-magnet in the 1970's!
True, but back then the new models were introduced in the Septimber of the previous year, wo they were technically roling around in the end of the '50s. -Anan retentive car nut.
Also, it really doesn't matter what color someone's skin is; get to know them for the person they are, for their character. THAT is what you should judge them on. Jeez, I wonder what the world would be like if we were all just blind or color-blind...Maybe that's why dogs are so friendly; they have a smaller spectrum of color that they can see. Humans should learn from them.
i think tht in someways, america has improved since then, where everyone now is treated equally, in race and gender. plus, realistic topics, for ex. child and animal abuse are being addressed and not kept behind closed doors. but in other ways, america has gotten worse, like most music, media, and tv shows are now about sex and gettin it in. plus the internet has lured so many perverts and pedos that things arent safe for kids anymore. plus people dressed nice back then, unlike todays fashion.
if the time machine is real, i want to go back to 1950's , i love the cars on that era... :D
I want to live at that period

@vrietmet DUDE!!!! i have bee feeling like that for a long time!!! Lol those were the best times! man regardless the conflict! the way shit is now adays makes me wanna go back to those times!
bet they had the best milk shakes
Enjoyment.
There was racism on both sides as well as violence on both. It was never one sided where I lived.
We need him back!
Has anyone here seen what happened to los angeles on youtube? When LA was such a huge manufacturing, oil producing area where people actually worked for a living and didn't wait for their welfare check or seen cleaning their guns for the next gang-bang. Oil was referred to as 'cheap' and oil drew other factories there such as tire manufacturing, etc.
Watching the old videos of this Country sometimes makes me sad
@endauthority education was better because the classrooms were not out of control....the school systems were not destroyed by law suits. When I went to school they actually had classes in spelling, penmanship etc
@vrietmet I feel your pain man, thats the real America right there, and I wish it would comeback.
You generalise hundreds of millions of people by saying that younger generations don't appreciate life. We're not mindless drones you know. Eating out used to be more expensive (I'm guessing), now we can import a lot of food incredibly cheaply. Kids didn't get more horrible, life just got more interesting and easy. It's not children who are inherently less innocent, it's the media onslaught on them that your generation(s) created, it's your generations' technology that you created, not children.
@JFguitar22 you hit is right on the nose............what you described is how I grew up. In fact it is very depressing because I did live through that era and see what this country has become in comparison. It was so different it almost seems like I dreamed it
THE CHEVROLET CORVAIR SHOWN WAS NOT A 50'S CAR IT NEVER CAME OUT MANUFACTURED PUBLICALLY UNTIL 1960 . OTHERWISE NICE VIDEO !
@vrietmet i so feel that way. my grandma was alive at this time so i can talk to her about it but thats all i get... sigh im just a 16 yr old growing up in the twenty first centery. but think about this, in 50 years your grandkids will think the same thing about us (weirdly)
@asutuh ...makes sense... I feel you on that part...
Turns out, McCarthy wasn't completely crazy after all. More voices from the past echo other predictions, and those are unfolding too. Seems most of these people I blew off, knew more than me. Being young and dumb, more headstrong and naive. Wonder if we are too late to fix it. ✌
McCarthy was right!
Just about every Corvair you saw back then had a black oily mess on the lower pan and blue smoke trailing behind. LOL!
The bill would never have gotten through without LBJ. It was stuck in committtee and LBJ got it out and onto the House floor. (where it then went to the Senate). Stop the hero worship.
The classic times was the best. However, racism was rampant at that time.
@backwardk so spain is not part of europe, is that what youre trying to tell me ?
The first Corvair was 1960.
McCarthy was right! We need that again nowadays. Unfortunately, instead of 3 years, it would take 33 years, even at high speed, and you still wouldn't get even 1/10 of one percent of the Communists and un-Americans out of the Federal government. It's sad.
@vrietmet If anybody's actually gonna build one, count me in! Hell... let me be born in the 1940's... if only to be a teen in the '50's, a college 20-something in the 1960's, and a chick-magnet in the 1970's!
if i was born in 50's and i knew 00's will be crap i would die by 31/12/1999
True, but back then the new models were introduced in the Septimber of the previous year, wo they were technically roling around in the end of the '50s.

Also, it really doesn't matter what color someone's skin is; get to know them for the person they are, for their character. THAT is what you should judge them on.
Jeez, I wonder what the world would be like if we were all just blind or color-blind...Maybe that's why dogs are so friendly; they have a smaller spectrum of color that they can see. Humans should learn from them.
Isnt the Corvair a 1960?
The Income Tax is different than the Capital gains tax. So, I guess maybe your sorely mistaken.
It is amazing, the women dressed so much more feminine and classy back in the day.
i think tht in someways, america has improved since then, where everyone now is treated equally, in race and gender. plus, realistic topics, for ex. child and animal abuse are being addressed and not kept behind closed doors. but in other ways, america has gotten worse, like most music, media, and tv shows are now about sex and gettin it in. plus the internet has lured so many perverts and pedos that things arent safe for kids anymore. plus people dressed nice back then, unlike todays fashion.
