Wildwood Vacation 1960 

OMG....I felt like my life just flashed in front of me. What great memories !!!

That was awesome. I love seeing the history of Wildwood.

Thanks for the memories. I was there that summer. I was 4 years old.

Fantasic. Thanks. 65 now, I remember.

Thanks for the video-nice work with the 8MM…I vacationed there also, in those days, as a kid-it was a magical experience…thanks again for sharing!

I love the oddball shots that most wouldn't thought to film back then.The night shots of rides,sunsets,the sun shining on the waves coming in,etc.Rather forward-thinking in style.

Remember how close the water was to the boardwalk?!!!I remember being down there in the'60s on,to see my cousins.Every year the beach would grow to the desert that it is now..Amazing..The Flyer,the train,Joe's Pizza,the Sightseer,brings back so much....and WAATCH The Train car,PLLEEEase!!!

I notice a sign for Macks Pizza on the boardwalk, That must be one of the oldest pizza place in NJ. Great video I love History, because you can learn from it, and if your old enough it brings back great memories of your youth.

This is great love seeing the history of wildwood

I think I rode that same bike in '86

Wow, 59 years. Amazing to see what has changed, and what amazingly remains the same. Parts of the video could have been shot today. The best parts of Wildwood will always remain! The part with the map and the traveling little car was classic! You can tell if RU-vid was around this would have been posted! Thank you Joey for the history that would have been lost! Please support this channel with the Patreon page, it's worth every penny! Great Work Thanks Joey! 😎👍👍👍👍

My grandparents had a summer house at 110 East Fern Road. Knew Mary, Vito, Nunzi, Dottie and Grace. This is what it would have looked like when my mom (Joyce) was just a kid. Nice video!!

Good stuff.

Thsts the Wildwood I remember 😂👍🌊🏄‍♀️🌊🏄‍♂️🌊🏄‍♀️

Such great footage!!

I grew up 10 miles from Wildwood in the 1960s. You can see the original "Big Flamingo" sightseer boat at 3:22. It left from Sinn's dock in Wildwood Crest where the PT-109 boat operated from. Great video. Thanks!

I wish it was still that time period. Life seemed slower, family and God still important to most. People dressed so much nicer too!

Wow....thanks for sharing this! Its neat to see certain places or buildings that are still on the boardwalk today. I liked seeing the traditions of flag rasing and morning bike rides on the boards being the same for almost 60 years. The drive from Limerick PA was fun to watch. I just made a similar drive for a day trip yesterday. It must have been a real adventure to rely on pay phones paper maps and a late 1950s car to make the trip. I can also sympothize with that sad look when packing the car to leave for home, the worst feeling in the world is seeing Wildwood get smaller in the rear view mirror. Thanks for sharing the video, -Jason

Born June 1960 - my grandmom and Uncle had a house on Hildreth! Miss them so much!

This gem of a video is a real time capsule! From the year I was born, so it pretty much shows all the great memories I have of our family vacations at the shore!...'60s, '70s, and early '80s were my favorite times there. So much has changed, but we still go back every year!

Always seems to rain the day you leave the shore!

The soundtrack kept me watching.

Great video, brought back a flood of childhood memories. More please.

Such a cool old video👍

And Walk Don't Run-Ventures,which was out in '60!

I love seeing the older era of Wildwood. But when I watch them, I enjoy them even more when I play the videos without sound.

awesome video. love seeing the past i wasn't there for!

The beach scene, can we go back.

Awesome footage. It was nice to see wildwood back.in the day!

GSP was only 2 years old in 1960. Probably saw alot more people in WW after it was built. Beach looked crowded. Love the old movies of Wildwood

At 2:14, I immediately thought, "Watch the tramcar, please!"

I actually watched the whole thing lol.. Nice footage 👍👍

Amazing

Thank you Joey for making this video I love you channel so much and I like seeing the very vintage and old tram car in this video you make very good content which makes me feel happy

it was ok to be in the sun back then

It would've been great to overlay a beach songs from Chubby Checker and Wildwood Days-Bobby Rydell!

Great video!

Irrelevant but RUNAWAY TRAM UPDATE: They got all the lights working except for a small part which is purple. It is very easy to miss. I’d say it is like 99.9% done. At least the lights

Love the vids man!! This one was cool. Keep them coming. Coming in a week can’t wait. Any news on the Runaway Tram??

How about the value of all those late '50's to '60 cars now!!!Just imagine....

TY for sharing would u know what happened to johnny pizza on boardwalk also r these people still alive.?

Watch the tram car, please.

10:02 Gas 25.9 cents per gallon.

Was that the “Big Pink Flamingo”??? 3:18

Over half of these people are dead now! I was 20 years old in 1960, my time soon I guess.

Very nostalgic. Compared to what we have today: How grainy the film was back then; no bikinis on the beach let alone thong bikinis; no black people on the beach!

Great video!
