Recently discovered several vintage 16mm films depicting old Hawaii. The films were originally taken by an unknown photographer for his own personal enjoyment while on his way from San Jose to Austrailia in 1940. We purchased them at a garage sale at the house at an old local orchardist. The films were converted to digital by volunteers from the California Pioneers of Santa Clara County.
This eighth and final installment focuses upon the island of Oahu, especially on the Nu'uanu Pali and Windward Side of the island. Included with this unknown photographer's original film from 1940 were a few additional shots from his more recent trip circa 1952. O'ahu Country Club beginning at 5:28 mark... You can also faintly see the Kawainui Marsh from the Pali at 1:11 and vintage shots of the Ka'elepulu Canal. All Rights Reserved.

Thank you so much! I first went to Hawaii in 1970. These videos remind me of a much slower and lovelier island. I especially appreciated the footage of Kailua and the Pali. Thanks again! Great job!

@ 0:49 those cars moving are actually using the old Pali road, before the tunnel and modern Pali hwy was built many years later. The Pali road was built directly on the old Pali footpath trail built in the ancient days; it was the only way to make it across the mountains, else you had to take the much longer route around the island. You can still walk down this road, though it is in really bad shape now.

I see there is some footage of the old Pali Road and the Mormon Temple in Laie. My mother told tales of going over the Pali in a Model T Ford where all the kids had to hold on to the cloth top as the car moved or the wind would tear it off the car.

Minute 1:41, to the left was where Kailua Drive-In was built,

Actually, from 1:41 to 1:45, they're traveling SW toward Waimanalo from Maunawili along the Kalanianiole Highway. The silouette of the Ko'olau Mtns to the right of the screen and the Keolu Hills on the left side. The grassy patch you see in the center of the frame is not the Kawainui Marsh where KDI and the Quarry once was, but, instead, the future home of the Olomana Golf Course.

Nice! But everything changes especially Oahu so that's why I live on the big island slower for change

What kind of music is this crap?

Nice music

Fake 1940 is why we came to the sight before the War? Deception on the web is the worst American feature of these BS films with 1968 guitar music - not really authentic.
