Great video. Looks like a lot of footage taken in East side of Dearborn, amazing how Ford, West Warren, Chase & Schaefer roads have changed. Notice the red ash dust on the roofs, hoods & trunk lids shows some footage near the Ford Rouge Foundry in Dearborn. Depending which way the wind blew, I vividly remember the red clouds of soot settling in our neighborhood. Delray & downriver were loaded with it everywhere.
And the river Rouge really was, in places, an opaque red-orange!
Pretty cool seeing a Douglas Dc 3 flying overhead. Those planes are absolutely beautiful 😍
But they used jet sounds
@@Tommytwotone762 why?
My mother was born and
Raised in Detroit.she was
Sweet 16 if this was1949.
She met my dad two yrs
Later on a vacation to L.A.
It was Love at first site, and the rest is history!
Thanks for posting this.
The shots of the street signs really helps.
I never got to see Detroit this clean and thriving
Neither have we!
About half of this film was shot in Dearborn. Most of the buildings at Warren and Grand River, including the church are still there. I think the city actually looks gritty.
You know why… 😜
@@lawrencesobczak9729 It looks gritty because it's the southwest side of Detroit with the Rouge, DeSoto's, Cadillac, Federal Screw works, a huge rail turntable & maintenance yard at Livernois & Vernor, DSR yard on Wyoming & Michigan plus numerous factories spewing smoke, soot & God knows what else. This period was before the EPA.
Go downtown now and you will.
I can just imagine what those houses look like now if they're still standing.
@LVΡΝ 1 That's what I was thinking.
Most of those houses are still there and it is a thriving community. Even the old south end neighborhood by the Rouge factory is clean and vibrant with some of the best Italian and middle eastern restaurants. Rouge assembly has resumed tours of the plant and boasts of the latest technology even down to the bio roofs
@@philbooth4384 Glad to hear it.
Like shiit
@@philbooth4384 actually it’s getting better but most of the buildings and homes are shit and filled with scum bags still.
That's my neighborhood. 60 years I've lived there. Dearborn Michigan. Nice work!
Wow. Phil Booth. I remember you from Maples. And when you lived on Coleman.
@@ab69ify good old maples!
@@ab69ify who's this?
Please post more from Detroit. Would love to see some non-blurry, easy to see ones like your other videos.
Amazing how there isn't any trash on the ground anywhere
You just can't see it due to lack of fidelity and smoothing in the image.
Country was about 92% white in the 1940’s
@@ugaais Country was 100% brown in the 1300's
What was once Motown is now Notown.
and Ho-town
Some of the Douglas DC-3s appear to be those operated by American Airlines. If so, then this would probably be no later than 1949 seeing that AA retired all their DC-3s in '49 (replaced with Convair 240s) and you also see a 1949 Ford at 2:11 making a turn. Thanks for sharing this vintage film of "Dee-troit City!"
wow! This is what my Grandparents and my dad's two sisters saw. Amazing. Thank you so much!
From great city to third world
Thanks to our politicians, democrat, and republican.
@@fratzogmopars “ruled” by democrats for many decades now.
@@paulpatriot1776 True, but don’t be fooled, most republicans aren’t for liberty, they are on the same team as the democrats. 2016-2020 sure exposed them.
No steady Hollywood hand on this camera. Piston prop passenger planes and steam locomotives. A different era to be sure.
Awesome to see our cities, homes, etc back then. Thank you.
Many Motown greats were either little kids or being born at this time
Back when Detroit was a manufacturing powerhouse. Now....wasteland U.S.A.
We’re making a comeback
Still is a manufacturing power house - the Big 3 all have huge complexes in the city limits/surrounding areas (East Detroit, Hamtramck, Dearborn). This is a testament to the will of Michigan - even after social engineering and years of plunder Detroit won’t quit.
You haven’t been to Detroit have you?
Detroit is rad. Ignore the easy trolling.
@@jonathansmith3262 helllllll yeh
stunning video man. this time travel is incredible.thanks for that.
thank you
Before Detroit became a cesspool of crime and decay.
Detroit is awesome boomer
Good stuff. Amazing to recall that steam engines were still part of the scene (in Greece and England until at least 1965, along with diesel-electric) and also, how cars weren't 'that' concerned about lanes!
Thanks, NASS.
It's amazing how developed and changed the world has become within a century from 1900-2000. If u look back the old days like the16th 17 th century and beyond development was slow each century.
@@notyourbusiness1352 Agreed - it's also interesting to consider how much changed in a very short 15 or so years from the late 1940's to the early 1960's. In the late 40's, most of our US cities (like Detroit) were still vibrant and fully functioning with relatively low crime, a solid industrial base providing economic opportunity, livable nice neighborhoods. Many of those cities still had electric trolley car lines, magnificent railroad stations with an extensive passenger rail network with great trains (many still under steam) that ran on faster and more frequent schedules than today's Amtrak. Seeing these old films of cities like Detroit highlights what we lost.
From Arsenal of Democracy to the biggest employer three casinos downtown.
Please do more old vids of Detroit if you have them to remaster. This was definitely dope!!!
It's weird but I miss a time before I was even born
The city has not made any progress since that time.
Who says that's a bad sign? Look at China. If their society revolved around 'progress' (i.e. change) they might not be on the rise like they are today. While they pick up the spoils of a West decayed by 'progress'. If Detroit is like China, then so be it.
@@goodday2760 I agree with the sentiment but modern Detroit is a 3rd world shithole that fell so far from being THE most industrious city in the world
@@FimiliarGalaxy9 Why do you think it has become a 3rd world shithole?
@@jasonoconnor1150 Why do you think you know if it even is one, dear viewer of Fox? Because you've been there, or because of cheap pop culture jokes claiming that it is?
@@goodday2760 Do yourself a favour and look at 1940s videos from China cities and the recent ones. BTW, Detroit is NO LONGER a Western city. It is now an African city on the American continent like Haiti and Jamaica.
Interesting to think of how and why this film was made. Someone was walking and driving around with a huge film camera in the late 1940’s?? Definitely would have been extremely unusual at the time (less so with the Los Angeles films, for obvious reasons).
Not likely. 8mm Revere, Citation. Cine-Kodak and Howell Straight 8 were all in use at the time and this was Dearborn so they wouldn't have been too hard to get.
16mm black and white film cameras were once popular in home movies. Also there were many excellent 16mm surplus Filmo cameras after ww2.. 100ft roll of film gives at 18 frames per second is 3 minutes 42 seconds. At 24 fps 2 minutes 47 seconds. 16mm surplus gun cameras that used a 16mm magazine of film were dirt cheap after ww2.
The bell and Howell filmo 16mm camera was used in ww2 in battlefield usage. Spring motor wind. C mount lenses. Robust machine.. so street scenes like this if 16mm could have been shot by any dozens number of brands of 16mm cine cameras. Pro to home movie ones or a surplus gun camera
İt seems like Detroit was much more better than now!
Back when things were good!!!! Now it's a major shitehole!!!!! It's a real shame. Thanx again. 👌
all with the start of closure of GM
@@Youraveragegamer_97 How nice it was before folks started to vote Democrat. Look at American in 2021.
The city of Detroit is very nice now but good job repeating the line
It looked better when the native peoples lived there. Before the white people came.
Today it is black world
Nigga pls.
The America I grew up in...loved the segment with snow. Somehow people were able to drive with actual snow on the road!
Great video. Fascinating and in color too! 3/4 of this video is Dearborn: Schaefer and Warren, Chase, Calhoun St. I know the area very well. Yes, most of the houses are still standing and in very good condition.
The intersection of Schaefer and Warren is unrecognizable now.
crazy how parts of Detroit still look like that just with newer cars
@ 2:47 I remember as a kid in the 190's, waving at the caboose man as the train went by. He'd always wave back.
This is just awesome!! Big like 👊😎
amazing channel!!!
The savages turned this beautiful city into ruin
@@Picuasco How nice it was before folks started to vote Democrat. Look at American in 2021.
Nice stereotype why don’t you look into how it actually is
When America was America
Most of the Los Angeles ones on here were shot as backgrounds for movie productions. As this is in Detroit, it's shot much differently as it is amateur footage. Interesting to see Detroit at its peak.
The clips around 1 minute were in Dearborn at the intersection of Warren and Schaefer, the power plant and the water tower still stand to this day along with the now abandoned St Alphonsus School.
Thank you so much for this document of industrial history!
Detroit had nearly three times the population it does now.
The water tower at 1:21 is still there! I can see it from my yard! Amazing
Very beautiful thanks
A once beautiful productive city
Now a crap hole
Shameful how it happened
Thank you for this!
Amazing how they already had basically modern construction signage in this era.
Absolutely no murders took place in the making of this video.😌
Are you sure of that? LOL...
This is incredible 👏
This is the city I lived in as a small child.
i like the first person view. gives me a strong sense of feeling like im there
Back when the houses there weren't abandoned. Really strange to see how it looked back in the 40's given how almost everything looks the same now but with overgrown grass, abandoned buildings, and gangs
It was taken in 1949, because of the back of 1949 Buick and 1949 Ford cars as shown on 2:14.
The trains whistle does sound like is at Greenfield Village.
Amazing ,thank you very much,♥️♥️
Enjoyed the video! 😍
I think this is actually Dearborn.
Detroit. Once a thriving metropolis. Now akin to a third world country. Thanks a lot.
That was original
Great footage. Normally, I find colorization a letdown, but here it actually gives a more real-world feel to the scenes 🏎📽
When it was a civilized city.
I saw a sign saying Schaefer & warren if that’s the same spot that’s Dearborn not detroit
There's a good chance that the majority of homes in this video might not exist anymore or are in a completely dilapidated state. Alot of today's Detroit has been returned to nature...city streets surrounded by vast tracts of green space where homes and businesses once stood. So sad to see how a once world changing city has been reduced to redundancy.
@@Picuasco Actually...it isn't progress at all. It's devolution where the town has been destroyed by politics and neglect.
How nice it was before folks started to vote Democrat. Look at American in 2021.
All due respect, most of these homes probably still stand. This is mostly Dearborn, not Detroit, I think the only Detroit scene for sure is in the very beginning on Grand River. You are right, lots of green space in Detroit now, but also lots of good hard working Americans trying best they can to make ends meet. And it's not all green space, neighborhood across from my mine in Detroit is filled with historic mansions, beautiful homes that will be standing long after you and i are gone.
@@champ1061 No doubt about it, Detroit had some incredibly beautiful homes. That's the sad thing about it, you could see that at one time, Detroit was a beautiful, vibrant city. An incredibly important, world transforming city. Now it's like looking at the ancient remains of Athens or Rome. So many beautiful buildings, abandoned and left to decay. Very sad, what's become of this great city.
Maybe some day there will be a big clean i mean look at nyc compared to the 70s/80s
Sad to see all the Negative comments...Detroit is an amazing city.
All people who haven’t spent time there and just repeat what stereotypes they hear and type it in on TH-cam
bit of criticism on the sound front. steam engines are loud. very, very loud, and you could hear them from a mile away. they are not silent. the whistle is also from a locomotive from england, and trains will only whistle a that time to an upcoming station or crossing.
This is absolutely amazing thank you.
Detroit when it was in its glory, but now it's completely different
I've always wanted to time travel! Do you have any of Jesus in Judea around 31 AD? :)
I would say this is the early 1950's. Two cars were definitely early 50's notchback models.
Probably around 1950 or 1951 about there
Great, thanks!
Very good! Thank you!
Schaefer and Warren is Dearborn, not Detroit.
The aircraft are twin engined are all Douglas DC3 airliners.
Then blacks arrived
😂
true
The whites fled.
that cell phone camera is real grainy.
One thing i always notice from these videos is how clean everywhere looked if you went to such a place today you would see litter thrown all over the place.
My parents were from Detroit. Married in 1945, after my dad came back after surviving his ordeals as a POW in Europe. Those cold winters and the nepotistic corporate cultures made them decide to move to California in 1954. Thanks for this footage and all the videos you've posted of California. If you have any of Silicon Valley, please post!
How nice it was before folks started to vote Democrat. Look at American in 2021.
@@jaysmith179 You seriously need a remedial history course. Reagan deserted the manufacturing sector, which Detroit depended on, raised our national debt through the roof, and gutted many environmental laws (hello Flint). If you want more of a corrupt authoritarian political party that fucks up the 99% and bullshits them by saying that they stand for traditional values, you're more than welcome to move to China.
The Hudson Hornet was everywhere
This is the Dearborn area.
Agreed.
Do you have any vintage/antique footage of the Florida panhandle? Pensacola area?
Life in a time when reality made some sense.😀
Amazing, but is there any information on the filmmaker?
You have any footage of the Lodge and Davison freeways in Detroit?
Lots of east Dearborn here.
Do you have any films that were taken in Canada?
I wonder what other street and Calhoun they were recording at 2:00
My city. Wow✌🏻🥰
Is there any videos of Dexter avenue and Davison streets back in this time If anyone could find them can you post it
Detroit was growing with high end areas, then. Mid'60s.. as kids - lived near 8 Mi & Livornois. Riots started. Now, it has gone down.
É como seu eu estivesse revivendo o passado e viajando no tempo. Eu me sinto reencarnado em outra vida.
Was that a yard sale near the middle of the video?
Those houses are on the market for 1$ now
Look at apartments or condos downtown or midtown/ new center and tell me how much
I Love Classic Cars
Pretty cool
Pretty cool..I saw absolutely no crime take place in this video.
It’s a shame the city was able to peak for only about 20 years
Over twice as many people then, maybe three times as many.
We can see a baby Ted Nugent shredding on his guitar at some point in this video.
0:41 It wouldn’t be Detroit without road construction
I told you the O'Malley was going to Detroit
Good stuff 👍
I wonder which church is that at 0:24?
NO Litter?
