1950's Los Angeles Noir! Cruisin’ around Bob’s Big Boy 

That never really existed.

Wow! I've loved that Bob statue, since I was a child, and one Big Boy survived long enough that I could take my child's picture with it.

Well said Sister!

Take me with you! 🎞❤️🎶

It’s in the cars you just have to drive one.

Careful what you wish for. The 50s were very repressive and rigid, in spite of the sock hop videos you see constantly. The general public was NOT in love with the invasion of hooligan music made prominent by Elvis. It took years into the early 60s for the 'straight' public to begruginly accept that music.

@@nigelmarshallkenyonabbott8684 how much worse could my life get? Watching these videos, listening to the music, seeing how people dressed and loving those cars actually put a smile on my face. I know the older adults didn't care for rock n roll, but that's their problem. History does repeat itself. I would love to own a classic Corvette or Camaro because the cars back then we're attractive looking and they lasted longer. Also, in the video, I saw a grocery shopping cart on the grass. What's new about that? Life today is no better, but at least by watching videos of the past, we can imagine what it was like for our grandparents and other relatives. To me, it seemed quiet which is a time I would to live on instead of the days we live in now.

You're looking at it.

True...1950s-1970s best music and coolest cars. Glad I got to see it first hand as a kid.

Biden said he'd make it better! Trust him...and watch yer wallet too....

to 50s

To late ...you missed the show.

@@paolo-n2000 MAGA!

Well said Sista!

You are not the only one. I will come with you.

@@margaritalangdo8972 . I'll happily tag along too. lol

Yeh...they were popular. Our next door neighbor had one as a cab driver. The car doubled as his family vehicle which was common back then. They just stuck Off Duty sign in the window when driving the family around. 57 Chevys were even more popular.

If you look closely it’s actually an Impala. Notice the extra trim line

There’s another Impala at 2:02

probably the fall of 1959, then these 1960 Convair were already on sale

@@markmmv My uncle had a 62 Convair.

Toluca Lake? Isn’t that in Silent Hill?

@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath It's a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley part of Los Angeles near Universal Studios.

@@casey9968 Yeah I know. But it's also a place in the video game Silent Hill.

The Bob's Big Boy is still there, it's a landmark, so it can't be torn down.

@@JENDALL714 Bob's is technically in Burbank.

There was a Renault Dauphine at 00:47 and a Volvo 544 at 01:58 too.

Yep. Dates this at least from late ‘59

@@msw7021 It's not the length of the video that maters. It's the content. I love seeing stock footage of mid 20th Century classic cars. Anybody who watermarks such beautiful footage deserves to get their ears cut right off the side of their heads.

Well Getty Images must own the footage so the uploader is probably lucky the video is still even up. If you want, pay Getty the fee to use it and make your own video. I'll watch it.

Yep....America was starting to suck by the late 70s but still 20x better than today.

Yep.

Back when "red" meant "communist", before the news media pulled a switcheroo in the 2000 election.

@@RCAvhstape Right as the red States were previously described as blue & it was switched. That’s probably why the naive democrats think the republicans are fascists & communists.
