Your perception doesn't match reality. LA was in the midst of the PCP epidemic in the early '80s with drive-by shootings and turfs wars between street gangs like the Crips and Bloods. I know it's just a movie, but watch the movie "Colors" from the mid '80s for a taste of what was going on in LA at that time. The violent crime rate was double in the '80s what it is now and "Illegals" were every bit the problem back then that they are now.. As for "livability" of LA in the early '80s, smog was so much worse than now, and gasoline prices and interest rates for cars and homes were through the roof with the prime rate pushing 20%. Yeah, there were fewer cars and people in SoCal back then, but there were also fewer freeways and the ones that were there had fewer lanes, no diamond lanes, etc. I lived there then and now and there are things I miss about the '80s, but also things I don't miss. Both then and now have pros and cons.

@@redtra236 Yeah, seat belt use was almost nonexistent. I was that rare teenager back then that wore both the lap and shoulder belts when I drove. Aside from the obvious safety aspect of buckling up, the car actually drove and handled better with the belts buckled. It was my grandfather's hand me down 1970 Buick Electra. One night a couple of years later the belts along with the size and quality of the Electra saved me in a head on collision with a drunk driver in a Chevrolet suburban. The general driving population was just too dumb and lazy to buckle up. My Electra had separate lap and shoulder belts with two separate buckles to fasten which most thought was a terrible inconvenience. I always got in the car, pushed in the cigarette lighter, buckled up both belts, lit a cigarette and then drove off. Two habits that continue to this day.
@@redtra236 You are probably correct, but the seat belts most likely saved my life or at least prevented serious injuries when I was in a head on collision when I was 20. The jury is still out on the smoking habit.

Thanks for posting. Someone from the 1970's would be shocked how clean L.A.'s air is today (those cars were actually rolling chimneys) ... and how crappy pretty much everything else is.
Yeah, about the only thing that has actually improved since that time is air quality. Smog was WAY worse back then compared to what it is now, even with more cars on the road these days. I can remember major smog alerts and PE being canceled at school because the air was so bad. LA was covered in a perpetual brown cloud of toxic air. This must have been filmed on an rare clear day, maybe after a bit of rain.
The air was bad late 60’s but not every single day. We had pretty wet years where the air was cleaned out consistently and vehicle smog systems were around by mid 70’s. Some days were better than others. Even though life is easier now people still think it’s difficult today. Those cars you see broke down constantly. There was not much comfort for the little guy with no pc’s, no cell phones, no vcrs or dvds, no laptops, cars that really underperformed compared to today, no cable tv (just a few channels).
@@mmartin5707 Comfort is what you make of it. We didn't have PC's or cell phones or vcr's but we didn't need them or want them because they didn't exist. We were plenty comfortable back then and we never longed for anything more.
What an outstanding restoration. To think of all of the stories and lives of people who were from before, current to that date, born during, grew up young and all those who have long since passed whose stories have been lost. Los Angeles truly had the chance to be the shining city on a hill for all eternity. We need to find our way back.

Papa Dinkleberg Considering I lived in LA for 12 years until recently, I think I’d know what I’m talking about. There are very nice pockets of LA, surrounded by a ton of shitty parts. Some areas of LA you would swear you are in Mexico. It didn’t used to be like that.. There’s so much pollution, traffic, crime. It sucks.
I can imagine Jim Rockford driving his banged up old car along these streets and also detectives Starsky and Hutch chasing some punks in their Gran Torino. 😁
Interesting video, but it's not just from the 70s. As noted below, some footage is from the 60s. Also, the Chevy police car at 3:20 is an early 1980's model, and also a K car (1980s) from the same clip.
That's what I'm saying! That particular generation of the Chevy Caprice didn't become more widespread until the 1980s. That clip from 2:57 to 3:27 seems to be from the latter half of the early 1980s (as in 1982 or especially 1983) to the mid-1980s. Hell, maybe it's even from the late 80s, but I'm unsure. It certainly isn't the 70s, that's for sure.
I feel like these people had no Idea how cool their cars really were.
I did not understand in 1982 how awesome our toy stores were. I do not raise my camera today for much but there are still some neat trucks.

LA hasn't been beautiful for quite some time. Today it is more like third-world..
polifatts If you really think that then you're dumber than dirt. Detroit is more of a third world if you ask me
Papa Dinkleberg Considering I lived in LA for 12 years until recently, I think I’d know what I’m talking about. There are very nice pockets of LA, surrounded by a ton of shitty parts. Some areas of LA you would swear you are in Mexico. It didn’t used to be like that.. There’s so much pollution, traffic, crime. It sucks.
I can imagine Jim Rockford driving his banged up old car along these streets and also detectives Starsky and Hutch chasing some punks in their Gran Torino. 😁
Great musical score and footage.
The picture quality of this video is outstanding! It's like it was just filmed with our cameras of today!
Outstanding? Looks horrible to me, especially the clip that has terrible deinterlacing going on.
Looks outstanding considering it's over 40 years old.
@@ArmpitStudios oh stop it!! Enjoy this beautiful 70s time machine video for what it is.
@@jjrrhh1983 Can't. I have standards.
@@ArmpitStudios sure you can guy!!
cool. reminds me of CHiPs episodes.
Good point lol
I'm waiting for Starsky and Hutch come ripping around a corner !
1977, same year the show started.
Chips was the best and I have every episode on Dvd
Late teens when this was filmed. Miss those times in California. State didn't seem as screwed up as it is now.
Wow no smartphones or tiktok very beautiful made me cry
I can see there is no internet or social media.
Everything looks beautiful.
Interesting video, but it's not just from the 70s. As noted below, some footage is from the 60s. Also, the Chevy police car at 3:20 is an early 1980's model, and also a K car (1980s) from the same clip.
That's what I'm saying! That particular generation of the Chevy Caprice didn't become more widespread until the 1980s. That clip from 2:57 to 3:27 seems to be from the latter half of the early 1980s (as in 1982 or especially 1983) to the mid-1980s. Hell, maybe it's even from the late 80s, but I'm unsure.
It certainly isn't the 70s, that's for sure.
I thought so!
Digging the music..suits the footage perfectly
AWB, Baby!
