Too many mistakes
Such beautiful cars . . . built to last. That is when we were really something . . . and they were built by real men unlike the passive guys we got today that take virtually no pride in what they do if they do anything besides video games. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Mel.
So there were some mistakes in captions on labeling. It proves a human was involved. Great photos.
YOU GOT SOME OF THESE WRONG. ONE EXAMPLE IS THE RED AND WHITE 56 FORD YOU SAID WAS A 59. LOTS OF GOOD MEMORIES THOUGH.
Cars were so much prettier then.
Loved the first '54 Olds hardtop convertible. My Mom had one. It was beautiful--black with a white top and had red leather upholstery. Mom said all the guys flirted with her. I know she loved that since she was in her forties.
Great collection of pictures, but at least 4 pictures were labeled wrong. Do your homework better.
ENJOYED THE MEMORIES..
They got a few cars I.D.'s wrong
Nice video! It's interesting to see all those different colors--now it's all white, black,gray and red.
cool
Ah, yes. back when cars had style!
Where is the Hudson?
Ah, those were the days! However, they labeled a Mercury as a Chevy. I guess anyone can make a mistake.
At least one was mislabeled. The one calling the Mercury a a 55 Chevy Sunliner was totally wrong.
Love these pictures. Four things that stuck out to me after watching this video; 1) all of the white wall tires. 2) all that chrome 3) who takes pictures of their cars anymore? I take a picture of my newest car when I get one because my second job needs one. 4) The way they dressed back then! Everyday clothing back then was so nice and dressy.
Love seeing all the different model cars from the past.
