Brought back fond memories of my childhood in Los Angeles in the 1950s when my parents bought a brand new '54 Pontiac Star Chief. This was the best era ever for stylish cars.
Most of this was shot in and around the San Jose area. Where you see open fields is now Silicon Valley. It's not a sleepy rural area anymore. It's worth many TRILLIONS of dollars today. The homes at that time (1956-7-8) in that area could be bought for about $10,000-12,000 for a 3bd-2ba. Same exact house today is selling for $1,000,000-$1,500,00, easy. I know. I live there. Thanks, Nass. You do great work in bringing back those memories.
You sure about all of that? Some of the footage looks like old US Highway 99 in the northern Central Valley, up towards Marysville and Chico. I don't disagree with you about the real estate prices in the South Bay, though ....
The tiny 2-story houses on tiny lots, sharing walls with 1-car garages in North San Jose are 1.5M. The houses on full lots in these scenes are 2-3M and up to 5M in the hills. It's worth it if you have the capital to move around. Which is the fundamental source of the inequality in the US.
@@EducatedSkeptic I don't know about every scene, but the Judson Steel factory near those overpasses was in Emeryville, which means those overpasses were the maze near the Bay Bridge. And before 880 and 101 were built it was all rural roads between cities. You could definitely find roads like those in the South Bay. Remember, the South Bay didn't stop being rural until Silicon Valley really started going in the late 70's. Even in the 70's, 880 was only 2-lanes each way in the south bay, and there were still stretches where there were no buildings along 880.
@@EducatedSkeptic I agree that this doesn't look like the Santa Clara Valley. There are no hills in the distance (either towards the Santa Cruz Mountains or the Evergreen hills of the east side). Also, the valley still had numerous orchards during the 50s, which are not seen here.
Very nice video, thank you. My only remark is the sound, which fits more a 20's scene than a 50's scene with cars having proper horns and V8s. But who am I to judge 😊... Thanks for the awesome video.
This was a delight to watch! I was born in April of 1954. As an adult, I have had many cars from the 1950s. Such great memories! I sold my last classic car (a 1950 Chevy Bel Air) in 2021 when I moved from my hometown of Dallas, Texas, to Querétaro, México. I hope, in my lifetime, to own at least one more car from the 50s. :-)

A joy to watch and kudos on the colorization but have to agree with some of the comments that the engine and horn sounds are more appropriate for '23 Model T's than for '57 Chevys.
6:29 makes me think this may have been part of an instructional video. I'm convinced road rage has been a staple in America since the inception of cars, lol!
Must be footage for a driver's training/safety film. Nice parallel park at 3:10--in front of someone's driveway! Newest cars I could personally recognize were 1957 models, so some of the added engine & horn sounds were too old-timey for this period, but it was a good clip anyway!
So cool - brought back such grand memories, like of the '51 Buick that my father proudly drove to pick me up from school in - before Mom had even seen it! Sad to think that only a tiny fraction of these vehicles are still around today. A bunch of them probably went to the scrapyard after running stop signs (or lights) like the guy did at 2:18 or so!
Your sound track was more for the 20's & 30's. These cars would be needing a tune up, sounding like that. Still, I love the video since it takes me back to "my time". THANKS!
Yes, I was thinking that Buick on the screen at the time was probably a straight eight, an engine known for its silky smoothness. It would not have sounded like a Model T. 😆
This was filmed either in late 1956 or 1957. There' are a few 57's. If this had been filmed later in 57 there would be much more 57's. The reason it was taken in late 56 or 57 is that back then new cars were introduced in the fall of 56. The year 1956 was also the year that every motorist received new license plates (Yellow background with black lettering). Those plates were good until 1963 when they were replaced with a black background and yellow lettering.
Some of these clips were obviously from a driver's ed film with the narration taken out. For example, the failure to yield, the tailgating, the parking in front of a driveway, the road rage guy, the sleepy guy, etc. Other parts of it seemed to be just random street scenes.
There was a Virgil Exner "Forward Look" Chrysler of some type briefly on the screen. I was wondering if Ward Cleaver was driving it. Most of these clips were from the pre-Forward Look era, however.
@@2259r3z I would have to do some sales numbers research to get an idea of how those cars with the big fins actually sold compared with your flat-ass typical business sedans. The US was not all that quick to embrace radical stuff in those days; for just one example, look at google images of a 1955 Fury vs a 1956 Fury by Plymouth. Those fins really grew. And don't forget this film is from California where people will go a little more crazy then they will in the rest of the country. Yes, we love those fins today, but did people actually buy them with gusto when they first came out? I don't know.
Nass, Hi my friend. Another great video from you. Love to see America shots like this before I was born. Love car at 2:26 cool shot of it there! Thank you for another fabulous video! 😊
Born and raised in Southern California. I live on the east coast now. Never thought I would leave, but could no longer safely raise my kids in what California has now become. It used to be a utopia and embodied a sense of what a truly free state felt like. Still makes me so sad to think about.
And I may not go back THIS far, but I can remember driving in the southern "Bay Area" when a lot of it was farmland and fruit orchards ........ including the vineyards for the Paul Masson Winery in Saratoga. The "Prune Yard" (now a complex of housing and strip malls) used to be a mile-square prune-drying facility for the local plums!
I like this video of traffic in 1957, but the motor added sound effects are not accurate to the vehicles. Some of the cars sound like farm tractors. I know because I was a young kid in the mid 1950's. I remember these things.

Amazing love it and the gentleman driving the cars nice to see them up close, as always wonder what there life was like after filming this, I 'm sure the filming of the driving in that era would've been like a modern day TH-camr wanting to capture the drive, Which for us watching we are thankful they did, giving us glimpse into the past for most of us and era before our time.
@@TopHotDog 26¢ in 1957 is roughly equivalent to $3 in 2024 currency. That's about what gas costs right now in my particular midwestern locale, but I'm sure it's more in CA.
The cars were crap compared to today. Uncrashworthy,12-14 mpg, barely lasted 70,000 miles, rust prone and gas in real dollar terms about the same price today in most states and it had lead in it.
@@byronbuck1762 And yet they were wonderfully full of style, personality, and individuality--qualities utterly lacking in today's technologically superior vehicles. You could also say, for example, that steam locomotives were--objectively speaking--atrociously inefficient, polluting, and dangerous machines compared to modern railroad motive power. However steam engines continue to strike awe and affection--at least in the observer--in a way that diesels and electrics never did or ever will!
The cars were death-traps but they were all we had. Most were pretty good cars and very repairable. Parts always seemed to be available and there was no shortage of good old boys who knew how to work on them.
Don't be a chronocentrist. See these vehicles for what they were. We didn't arrive at the safe cars of today out of a vacuum. These cars had to come first. Much trial and error. The engineers of today are standing on the shoulders of the engineers of yesteryear.
Son geniales sus videos.. y en este en particular, me a motivado a mover mis autos antiguos.. gracias por compartir y viajar en la historia, hace UD. Un excelente trabajo , lo aprecio.
My guess is the footage is mid-50s but at most very late 1956. After 1956, new cars with rear fins began to predominate rather than the very boxy cars we see in this footage that still echoed the car styles of the 1940s. There are a few cars with fins here and there in the film, but a small minority which would change after 1956. Take a look at episodes of "Highway Patrol" from the late 50s with Broderick Crawford, shot around LA in the later 50s, to see the difference in car styling. Episodes can be found easily on TH-cam.
Chrysler brought out its 1957 long and widefinned "Exener Forward Look" cars in the fall of 1956. They looked like nothing else on the road at that time.
@jody6851 I saw a 1957 Dodge and a 1957 Chevy in the vid. But you could be right because 1957 cars went on sale in the fall of 1956. That's how it used to be, I remember.
Cada vez que veo estos videos me pregunto como hizo para conseguir esas tomas , se ve tan bien que pareciera que hubiera viajado en el tiempo para traernos estos films de tan buena calidad! Me encantan !!
Nice. Although, these two toned cars Of the mid 50s were actually very brightly colored. Red and white, turquoise and whiye, yellow and white, etc. They were mot muted tones in most cases.
Actually most of the autos in this time were muted colors. Most people don't want to stand out. Same as today. When have you seen a red car on the road?
Er, I'm 74, old enough to REMEMBER the late 1950s! My dad had a bright turquoise and white station wagon. Were you around then? I doubt it.And I was speaking of two tone cars, not solid color ones. Plenty of people drive red cars.
There are a lot of late '40s and early '50s cars in this video, and colors DID tend to be subdued in those years, both paint and upholstery. Red paint was rarely seen on sedans in this era, but did show up on convertibles occasionally. Colors started to perk up both inside and out around 1953/54 and beyond, from my observations.
Thank you for this wonderful video! Just one little thing though. Is it possible to adjust the audio a little? The cars all sound like 1921 Ford Model T's. Lol!
Great video. I think it may have been part of some kind of safe driving film. There were quite a few examples of what looked like rather aggressive driving.
Is that 101going South? I recognize what I think is 19th maybe? I grew up in Pacifica in the 60's. The one shot looks like the main freeway going toward the GG Bridge. Wow! traffic was much slower, and drivers were respectful of one another.
