That's Awesome! In 1984, I was 15 and cam across some High School yearbooks, and I was a freshman.. and our 1959 Anvil that year was my favorite! My math teacher graduated that year, and he'd tell us how much East Chicago had changed in those short 25 yrs! You have lived and experienced some Amazing times in your life.. music, cars, just... EVERYTHING!!! And I know you wouldn't trade those times for ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!!! ❤😂🎉
I grew up in Southern California back then, but born just as that decade began. I do recall certain television shows and seeing how people dressed and what they drove. One of my mom’s sisters had married a man who had a bit of money and they would stop by our place and show us their ‘56 Thunderbird. One of our neighbors and her siblings had hula hoops (I never could get it right). We would hear the Everly Brothers or Patsy Cline on the car radio. No smog, no rioting, neighbors visited over the back fence, the dairy delivered milk, butter and cream to our porch, my Dad was a pressman at our newspaper, one of my aunts was a telephone operator, we would watch Kukla, Fran and Ollie, drank from the hose, wore our skate keys around our necks on a string, stayed out till the streetlights came on and it all melted away far too quickly….
Did you ever hear of the Watts riots? Does Martin Luther King ring a bell? If you were anything but white in the fiftys, life was pretty rough. Very racist .
My only problem is that the video didn't last long enough. Thanks for the view of a time I still remember vividly. At least I was able to graduate high school before everything turned psychedelic. Don't ever get me started on that bit. I miss the clothes and the hair styles of the 50s, well, most of them, anyway.
Years and years ago, Guys wearing Women's Clothes were simply "Cross Dressing", and with "Male Equipment Downstairs", their "Pronouns were "HE", "HIM", "HIMSELF", and "Weirdo"!
Yes , great, racism was the norm. Segregation was the norm. Exclusive clubs were the norm. Red lining and all the rest . ALL of that has brought us to the unbalanced unfair conditions that prevail today. Yea, let’s go backwards. Sheesh! Idiots
I was born in 1948. The 50's and 60's were the best times. I can't believe how quick the years flew by. I'm almost 76 now and i still listen to 50's music.
I was a little kid back in the 1950s. My parents had a 1955 Chevy Belair station wagon. I remember going downtown and seeing all the men wearing suits, dress shoes, and hats. The ladies wore beautiful dresses and high heels. People really seemed to care about their appearance, unlike today.
@henryquenin6580 Ya, now all you see are 300 lbs whoppers poured into some Lycra stretch pants covered head to toe with tattoos and a mouthful of foul language topped off with a spectacular level of ignorance. Beautiful, just beautiful.
I was born in 57. I have always said that if i could have been a teenager in any decade i would have picked the 50s. The 30s had depression, the 40s we were at war, we all know the turmoil of the 60s. I wasca teen in the 70s and it was ok. Since then the world has gone crazy. Id take the 50s any day.
I turned 8 in 1959, so I can honestly say, I remember the 1950s. I also remember an incident that happened in front of our house in a rural area, early one Sunday morning. A guy in one of those '56, Cadillac Coupe Devilles, had wound up in the ditch in front of our house. My dad cranked up the tractor, pulled him out, and refused his offer of payment. The guy said he was in a hurry and had to go. It turned out he had a rather sizeable load of moonshine in that rather sizeable trunk that he had to deliver. This model of Cadillac was loved by moonshiners just for that reason: it had an enormous trunk, and would hold a huge load of illicit liquor. The bootlegers used them for years, and hated to part with them.
My teenage years were the 1950's. And for me my most painful memories were that, for the life of me, I couldn't dance. I almost felt like an outcast. Everything else was beautiful about the 50's.
Born in 1950, but not in the USA, I haven't any actual memory of what is shown in these photographs, except some of the music from records my older brothers came up with. Later in life I became aware of this era by old movies, my favourite being American Graffiti, and an interest in classic cars and motorcycles. And of course, the girls and women where so much more pleasing to look at. Even so, I feel some kind of loss and nostalgic, watching the video's of The History Lounge. Thank you so much for these "blasts from the past", for which I had no idea I would miss them.
I was born in 1944 so I remember all of this! But it was Elvis that flipped me out for years!!! My parents thought I was crazy!! But I knew my mother really liked Frank Sinatra ❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent short video that captures much of a Decade the changed America and left such a rich Heritage of Music that is still being played today. .A rapidly growing economy combined with lot of what this country was like before and after WW 2. A rising standard of living that would leave so much Nostalgia in the hearts of those that lived then. Thank you Mr. Editor and Producer.
That is the best advice that anyone can give. It runs through my mind all the time when I'm sorting through these old photos and wondering about all of these lives, most of which have now passed. Thanks for watching and for your excellent comments!
They keep voting for one party rule. "Anyone but Republican". That's what Detroit has been saying for 50 years straight. It used to be the best city in the US. They'd rather watch their cities deteriorate than try something different. Like the Joker said, you get what you fkn deserve.
In my perception and opinions as an ordinary Indonesian guy ; far away from the US, the 50s - 60s was The Golden Ages ; the Summit of American cultures
The 50s were great times and cars looked great in those days, but by the time you hit 100k they were ready for the junkyard in most cases. Today you can easily get 200k out of a car if taken care of. And you can get an amazing large screen color TV today for less than a small black and white TV then, along with our other amazing electronic products. What made the 50s work so well was mostly a 90% plus white society educated in basic American values.
For once TH-cam recommendations did their job and actually got it right. Love this channel. Thanks for all the work you do in putting these videos together, they're wonderful.
What I wish today is that we all had great dress style as our forebears of the 1930s to the 1960s. Folks had such great dress codes in the past. Just look at the wonderful cloths they went about in their daily lives.
Wish I lived through the the 50thies. The cars girls and music was awsome in that erra. Pluse people had values morals and respect. A time we will never see again. What ashame.
One of my brothers who was born in 1960 absolutely LOVES Buddy Holly. Goes to local events, has every album, song and knows all the lyrics. What an untimely, tragic death.
Good for him! The good stuff never dies. The British Invasion was loaded with covers of American R&R by the Beatles, Stones, & DC5. They loved our early music and shot it right back at us. Good times. Beatles admired Brian Wilson and vice versa. Stones covered Holly's "Not Fade Away". Early Beatles albums covered our 60's groups (check out who wrote and/or sang what...cool stuff if you're into it). Yeah...musically..50's and 60's...glad I was alive to witness it! 🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤📻🎷🎸🎹🎺🥁
@@brucestaples4510 That is very cool. Isn't it awesome to see the younger generations listening to (via TH-cam) and enjoying the classic rock of the 50/60's-80's? I so often hear them say "dang they just don't make music like they used to"... so true imho
@@reallybadgamer Yep - awesome it is. But like I said before, the good stuff never dies. Hell, I like Big Band, and that was from before I was born. It's all a matter of taste, but the good stuff always floats to the top.
Ah, no internet, just typewriters and local libraries. Poodle skirts, pony tails, white bucks, Brylcreem, sock hops, Elvis, Ricky and Fats. Ah, the good ol' days!
OMG, Annette in a 57 TBird! My big brother was just so in love with Annette, and we had a black and white 12 inch Philco TV back in the 50's as I remember!
I'm 70...I wish I were 80. That way I would have grown up here in the UK listening to and experiencing this great time. Instead I had to wait until 1968 before I could go out and buy all these great tunes. I now have around 40,000 of them and still love the great music of the 50's.
I was born in the 50s in Sydney and these times, 60's, 70's were the best and far better then than now I'm sorry to say. The cars were and still are the best - I have a '57MGA that everyone wants, but she's staying with me.

How beautiful and sexy women were back then. No wonder 50's were such awesome decade. When you're surrounded with such women everything is beautiful and easy.
My brother had a '57 Chevy Bel Air hardtop exactly like the one in the collage. To top it off, we had a '58 Glastron in the same colors with matching fins.
I was in my 20tis and could hardly wait for the look of the new models every year ,I owned a used 53 and then a 56 Studebaker ,then a new 58 Chevrolet and almost every year after I traded a different used Car
1958. I know exactly where I was. I remember what I did for work. I know where I lived and the places I visited daily. I remember the shops in my neighborhood, the lady jaywalking at an intersection, and even the wise-ass kid that ran over my spit-shinned shoe with his bicycle, and Joe at the coffee shop as he raised his hand to greet me every morning. Life is not bad today, but there’s something magical about the times of yesteryear that cannot be compare to anything of today. You almost need the solid foundation of those years to make safely through today. Life was that good. Dare anyone to differ. Hahahahahaha!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the only one photo shopped in the bunch. I reckon that's an 80's shot worked in there. It's exactly what myself and friends looked like, early to mid 80's. Something just ain't right about that shot. Hope I'm wrong. Great stuff, cheers from Australia.
I grew up in the 50's, if I could spend eternity in the 50's I would be a happy camper. The music, the cars, the love everyone had for the country. All gone, sad to say.
Not a blue or purple headed, 10 lbs of metal tacked to the face, freak to be seen anywhere....*sigh*😔 20 years before my time but, it's safe to say that i would of loved to have been around in this era,
This is the playlist that rocks just about every car meet I've attended in the past 14 years and it's glorious. Some carhop diners still exist and are plentiful where I'm at, but are only seasonal. No, not Sonic. I'd never go there. I speak of independently owned ones, including the last Bonnie Doon drive-in a few miles from me. It's the -1950s- (EDIT: 1940s) era type but unfortunately those 2023 prices keep me from going. Great car shows when they happen there. :) There was a second and even third location but both closed over the last 20-something years. :(
that is when women knew how to dress classy for church going to the movies dances and concerts even the grocery store no skimpy outfits but just class and style truth
Born in 55 I don't remember much of the 60s... But I remember the "Camalot Era" of President Kennedy.. Everything was wild ...new cars..New tech..space race... Great time to be a kid....( Saturday morning cartoons was a religion..and this was in black and white)
I was born in 43 I remember the first TVs and, of course the black and white. Congressional sessions for a period were televised and I remember President Eisenhower during a televised session losing he cool, slamming his fist on his table and saying in a firm manner " I - don't - give -a damn.". He could be tough and was respected. These days if a President say a firm "no", the opposing party swears he's losing it. But that's the hateful politics we have today. The one most important televised event I remember when Nixon appointed Ford to take his place, congress had a televised hearing where they questioned Ford to approve his appointment and the asked him, as President, if he would Pardon Nixon? and he said "Why, the American people wouldn't stand for it" He knew a pardon was wrong as can be. It's amazing how times change and we lose our values
@@billburgess9100 You hang in there, Bill. Born in '49 I only remember "I don't give a damn" from "Gone with the Wind", not Ike. I think we'll correct course...we usually do...in time.
La vida en esa época era mucho más llevadera, la humanidad era más amable, no había tanta hipocresía, y del ambiente ni hablar, no había ese mal vocabulario, y la enseñanza era más estricta, habían algunas materias como es la urbanidad que hoy día no se enseñan, la comida era con menos químicos y por supuesto de mucho más alimento, no existían las drogas y la juventud era mucha mi sana y los muchachos ciento por ciento mejores estudiantes y sin tantos adornos ordinarios, era más bella esa época, cuántos humanos en el mundo quisiéramos volver a esos bellos tiempos, gracias.
At a time when they could teach up to 35 students in a class due to an instilled attitude of learning and parents took a real interest in their kids and education.
Amen to that. The downfall of the US started right after WW2 under Operation Paperclip; when we moved 1,600 Nazi scientists & their families to the States. "INFILTRATION INSTEAD OF INVASION" Listen to JFK's last speech before he was assassinated. That says it all.
Some people call it progress ? I say going on the wrong direction, not to much body filler, plastic in those days, usually what you saw is what you got, a little hairy in the 60s, Uncle Sam wants you boy, but every generation goes through thier phase, I'd go back in a heart beat, yea, I'm that old !
I was in my 20tis and could hardly wait for the look of the new models every year ,I owned a used 53 and then a 56 Studebaker ,then a new 58 Chevrolet and almost every year after I traded a different used Car
This is me. I graduated HS in 1959. I didn't realize it for a while, but the 50s were the best times of my life.
Graduation in 1960s

Things are getting so bad so fast that decades from now people will look back at the early 2020s as the good old days
I was a grad in 1953 the year Princess Elizabeth became QUEEN of ENGLAND.......I would gladly go back to the 50's and 60's without hesitation.......
Yes they were fun times. 59 it was USAF for me and enjoyed that also

When cars were cars and people weren't confused.
Those WERE the days!!
And white women actually have class and lady like unylike today they want to be with a black guys because of fetish
Years and years ago, Guys wearing Women's Clothes were simply "Cross Dressing", and with "Male Equipment Downstairs", their "Pronouns were "HE", "HIM", "HIMSELF", and "Weirdo"!

If I could only go back in time. Born in 1950. World was so much better.
Yep, Something was missing
I agree world much better. No social media kids actually played outside together. . Miss those days
Born in '52 to a world of diners, soda fountains, and the best music ever.
LOVED the 50s. People, cars, music, schools, etc. etc.
The Best Times😍!
I was born in 1948. The 50's and 60's were the best times. I can't believe how quick the years flew by. I'm almost 76 now and i still listen to 50's music.

Graduated high school in 1957. These photos really stimulate the memory.

Can't truly define the 50s without a 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Annette sitting in it was the cherry on top. Beautiful car, beautiful girl.
I grew up in the 50's and it all brought back great memories. Thanks for that.
My teenage years were the 1950's. And for me my most painful memories were that, for the life of me, I couldn't dance. I almost felt like an outcast. Everything else was beautiful about the 50's.

A naive and simple time. You could say America grew up.....then again not so much.

Born in 41, saw Elvis arrive in 56 and everything since. We were the first 'teenagers' and it was ........ great!
Sometimes I wanna time travel and live there today society is lost
I love the cars back then none of them even looked like the other car they all were different nowadays they all look like a bar of soap
Thanks for the great pictures of when I was a Teenager and a Marine.
Super clear pics, excellent, wouldn't that time be nice now, always cherish every moment, and have no regrets.
That is the best advice that anyone can give. It runs through my mind all the time when I'm sorting through these old photos and wondering about all of these lives, most of which have now passed. Thanks for watching and for your excellent comments!
All the memories came flooding back -----WOW .
*Put me in a time machine, im ready to go back now*
Nice to see the good old days
California at this time was a paradise on earth. Now look what San Francisco has become

We had 'Jolly's' soda fountain in my hometown with a record stand. Those were the days!
And comics were 10 cents!😮. The Twang
Everyone had nice clothes, nice hair, and cool cars.
In my perception and opinions as an ordinary Indonesian guy ; far away from the US, the 50s - 60s was The Golden Ages ; the Summit of American cultures
Compare those high school kids in 1957 to the kids in today's high schools.

Wasn't born until 1970 ! Way my dad talked, sure wish I'd lived in those days !
I did, and they we're great!😄
I love the drive in photos. When I watch old movies from the 1950's you can see all the vintage stuff
If I had a time machine I would go back to the 1950's and never return!
I’d join you honestly, I’m 14 and love vintage stuff, not to mention modern society is crap compared to how amazing it was in the 50s
based on old people's memories and pictures....
Thank you for sharing your website and videos. They sure bring back memories.😎👍
I was born in September 1949 .up. until I went overseas in 1971 this was the best years of my life.
You're two months older than me!!! 😁

I cant believe how beautiful Liz Taylor was WOW!
One of my favorite movies was American Graffiti, one night in some town California, she loves motorcycles and a Vespa is almost a motorcycle.😊
1958. I know exactly where I was. I remember what I did for work. I know where I lived and the places I visited daily. I remember the shops in my neighborhood, the lady jaywalking at an intersection, and even the wise-ass kid that ran over my spit-shinned shoe with his bicycle, and Joe at the coffee shop as he raised his hand to greet me every morning. Life is not bad today, but there’s something magical about the times of yesteryear that cannot be compare to anything of today. You almost need the solid foundation of those years to make safely through today. Life was that good. Dare anyone to differ. Hahahahahaha!
Hi all, I was there and I loved the time, the '57 Chevy, girls with pointed bras, juke boxes and great music! I often wish I was there again.
Awesome,those were great times!
Excellent history of the 1950s
Reminds me how much our country devolved.
Plenty of adults back then thought rock 'n roll was the devil's music. 😂
Wonder what they think of today's music? As for the country it's a cess·pool full of dark fertilizer. @@yvonneplant9434
Те годы о которых Вы вспоминаете были и будут лучшими для Всех. Особо, когда Вам за 60 ...
The "Unofficial Hair Styles" at 6:00 were called "Pompadours."
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the only one photo shopped in the bunch. I reckon that's an 80's shot worked in there. It's exactly what myself and friends looked like, early to mid 80's. Something just ain't right about that shot. Hope I'm wrong. Great stuff, cheers from Australia.
Really enjoyed the pictures. Thanks.
Thanks - another excellent video!! Travel Through Time - reminds me of the traditional town of Chillingbourne.
I grew up in the 50's, if I could spend eternity in the 50's I would be a happy camper. The music, the cars, the love everyone had for the country. All gone, sad to say.
I would go back in a heartbeat, too!
Not a blue or purple headed, 10 lbs of metal tacked to the face, freak to be seen anywhere....*sigh*😔
20 years before my time but, it's safe to say that i would of loved to have been around in this era,
@@jpineapple9495 And you know nothing of which you speak.
That reminds me. I think I'll watch American Graffiti tonight.
I've been meaning to go out and buy the blu ray and this vid also reminded me haha
"What happened to flathead?"
I too graduated 1959, neat video
I remember when Annett's father owned the Union 76 station at Burbank & Kester in Van Nuys.
I remember Annette when she was a Mouseketeer and her boobies were just budding! Darlene too! Adolescent fantasies!
Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield... 😍😍😍 🥰🥰🥰
And Betty Paige
And Judy Tyler
And Bridget Bardot & Sophia Loren...
The 50s seems to be American to me rock and roll etc America at its best I love it 😻🏴🌹
At 6:14.... Betty Page ... went to East High in Nashville. She really was a beautiful woman!
Dead
She started it ALL. A true legend.
This is the playlist that rocks just about every car meet I've attended in the past 14 years and it's glorious. Some carhop diners still exist and are plentiful where I'm at, but are only seasonal. No, not Sonic. I'd never go there. I speak of independently owned ones, including the last Bonnie Doon drive-in a few miles from me. It's the -1950s- (EDIT: 1940s) era type but unfortunately those 2023 prices keep me from going. Great car shows when they happen there. :)
There was a second and even third location but both closed over the last 20-something years. :(
Fantastic video 🎯👍👍
Thanks!
that is when women knew how to dress classy for church going to the movies dances and concerts even the grocery store no skimpy outfits but just class and style truth
Born in 55 I don't remember much of the 60s...
But I remember the "Camalot Era" of President Kennedy..
Everything was wild ...new cars..New tech..space race...
Great time to be a kid....( Saturday morning cartoons was a religion..and this was in black and white)
I was born in 43
I remember the first TVs and, of course the black and white. Congressional sessions for a period were televised and I remember President Eisenhower during a televised session losing he cool, slamming his fist on his table and saying in a firm manner " I - don't - give -a damn.". He could be tough and was respected. These days if a President say a firm "no", the opposing party swears he's losing it. But that's the hateful politics we have today.
The one most important televised event I remember when Nixon appointed Ford to take his place, congress had a televised hearing where they questioned Ford to approve his appointment and the asked him, as President, if he would Pardon Nixon? and he said "Why, the American people wouldn't stand for it" He knew a pardon was wrong as can be.
It's amazing how times change and we lose our values
@@billburgess9100 You hang in there, Bill. Born in '49 I only remember "I don't give a damn" from "Gone with the Wind", not Ike. I think we'll correct course...we usually do...in time.
La vida en esa época era mucho más llevadera, la humanidad era más amable, no había tanta hipocresía, y del ambiente ni hablar, no había ese mal vocabulario, y la enseñanza era más estricta, habían algunas materias como es la urbanidad que hoy día no se enseñan, la comida era con menos químicos y por supuesto de mucho más alimento, no existían las drogas y la juventud era mucha mi sana y los muchachos ciento por ciento mejores estudiantes y sin tantos adornos ordinarios, era más bella esa época, cuántos humanos en el mundo quisiéramos volver a esos bellos tiempos, gracias.
Wow! Do you guys know that these pictures were taken during
The 1950s???? When men were men and women were women and America was just fine with that.
At a time when they could teach up to 35 students in a class due to an instilled attitude of learning and parents took a real interest in their kids and education.
Back when cars we're made of a American steel not this
Search crash test 1960 Chevrolet
@@earllsimmins9373 yeah yeah we all know about Ralph Nader and the corvair yada yada no seat belts
enjoyed it --thanks
Outstanding video. Your TH-cam channel is fantastic 🙏
We defeated the wrong enemy
Amen to that. The downfall of the US started right after WW2 under Operation Paperclip; when we moved 1,600 Nazi scientists & their families to the States.
"INFILTRATION INSTEAD OF INVASION"
Listen to JFK's last speech before he was assassinated. That says it all.
The cars were fabulous - the girls were glamorous - the music was great - what happened?? Pete in U.K.
A 50's boyhood in Florida was paradise: baseball, barefoot, beach. Rockabilly and TV. Then the 70's happened...
Some people call it progress ? I say going on the wrong direction, not to much body filler, plastic in those days, usually what you saw is what you got, a little hairy in the 60s, Uncle Sam wants you boy, but every generation goes through thier phase, I'd go back in a heart beat, yea, I'm that old !
Women were better looking back then.
I was in my 20tis and could hardly wait for the look of the new models every year ,I owned a used 53 and then a 56 Studebaker ,then a new 58 Chevrolet and almost every year after I traded a different used Car
My dad had a 56 Chevy convertible. I still think about it 😎!
Yep my time queueing up to watch the movies of hoper long Cassidy
Thank you. This was great. I love that the music goes with the era. Thanks for the work you do gathering and uploading these
Loved the video!
Subbed!
It wasn't perfect back then by any means, but it was a damn sight better than the cluster* we have today.
amen
