All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

Description

Remembering the Decade When We Loved Our Cars – (And They Loved Us Back!) For many Americans, the decade of the 1950s was a magical time. We were enjoying a mix of post-war prosperity, social cohesion, and technological advancements that created a sense of optimism and progress. You might say that this sense of optimism found its way into the automobiles of the time. Whether it was a classic Chevy, Ford, Oldsmobile, or Cadillac, our cars represented something more than just a mode of transportation – it symbolized progress, status, and the freedom of the open road. In this video, we take a look back at the decade of the 1950s, and how the cars of the era enhanced our lives and helped make it such a special and memorable time.

  • Verda Added They don't mention that the climate is being destroyed, thanks to these cars and their use of fossil fuels.
  • Glenn L. Added Thanks for the nostalgic trip..
  • Charlie G. Added THANKS MEL !!! ONE FACT THAT WAS OMMITED WAS THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON COULD TUNE UP OR REPAIR THESE WONDERFULL CARS WITH A LITTLE COMMON SENCE AND BASIC HAND TOOLS VERY AFFORDABLY . UNLIKE THE ROLLING COMPUTERS THAT WE ARE BURDENED WITH TODAY . SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE THE CONCEPT OF GOING FROM POINT A TO POINT B WAS DROWNED BY TECHNOLOGY !!!!!!
    STAY SAFE ! C. G.
