My channel includes my grandfather's historic home movies of the 1939 NY World's Fair, the EDO aircraft plant during World War 2, Pennsylvania Turnpike Tunnels in 1953, and much much more . . . plus animations and other creative endeavors by myself . . . BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE . . . some really rare 16mm novelties, including the only known surviving print of an Auroratone film. Order a pizza pie, pour some ginger ale, and enjoy.
I come across this video again every few years, this is such a great snapshot of history... the fact there is a Studebaker in it makes it even better! As I recall from another clip the Studebaker was owned by the posters parents.
This was really cool to see! Recently hiked the now Pike2Bike trail for the Rays Hill & Sideling Hill tunnels and wondered what they were like while in service. This really helps see what they were like!
Amazing that skyline in 1930. I grew up in Miami in the 60s and the skyline grew from the 30s a lot. I went to my sons apartment in the Beach in 2024 and driving back to Miami I told how sorry I was that Miami now its just another scrappy Chicago skyline. No longer the beautiful tropical Miami I knew in the late 60s.
I've never seen anything wrong with them. Always take the good and leave the bad behind. The message is to have Christ in your life , all of your life so you may have eternal life.
This is amazing. I've never seen so much early railroading technology in one video. I didn't know those carriages had another covering for guests on top.
A friend of mine had some of these little pamphlets that he kept and comically roasted, his favorite was the one of Dick and Jane being thrown into hellfire, with little lines coming off of them, to show the speed and force with which they were being thrown. He was very angry when he loaned it to somebody and they lost it.

Many videos I encounter at RU-vid have awful, overbearing music. Along w the lovely scenes, the majority of the music chosen here is cheerful & not overdone. 1939 NYWF is one of my absolute favorite items of world history. An early moment broadcast on TV ( extremely few ppl even knew about tv , never mind households) introduced by either NYC mayor or US president

This film interests me much more today than it did when you first posted this. In the past three years, I've driven through three of the tunnels many times, and I have also walked through Sideling Hill and Ray's Hill tunnels. I really like seeing the approach and departure from those two tunnels, after trying to figure out what they looked like in the past as I stood there in the present.
Comment from Robert Martens below: The song title is "Badinage" composed by Victor Herbert (1859-1924) In another post Robert said, that this music comes from a LP Vinyl of copyright free music for shops.
I remember having to try to fit into those speedos when I was a kid. Hated them. Now my son, a professional body builder uses them. Recycle, Reuse, Reduce.
