keiser31 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 WOW!! Now THAT is a great film! I am still smiling after seeing the Packards, Pierce Arrow, the early Dodge Truck and soooo many others. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nice video. Have a '34 Plymouth with a bunch of accessory items on it near the beginning. Newest I noticed and recognized looked to be a 1935 year model so I guess that is when it was filmed. Probably off on the year though as I sure as heck am not an expert on most of the cars I see on that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lincoln54Capri Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) At the 45 second mark there's a gas station with a big "9" next to it. Could that mean that gas there is 9 cents a gallon? There are some other signs on the left that say "Rio Grande" and "Chevrolet" and "Dodge-Plymouth." I guess this was made before they painted lines on roads for traffic lanes....

Dave Mellor NJ Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I saw two Ford sedans going away that were 35 or 36 and I think I saw a 36 Chevy coming out from the curb on the left so I say 36.Great video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm surprised that there wasn't more accidents in those days with no lane markers. Looks like eveyone was just vying for a position in the pack! Unlike todays "period films" I saw very few Model A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The thing that interests me is the ratio of closed to open cars by that time... And this is southern California. Great film...Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I don't know how to save videos from the originally linked site, so I checked for that film on YouTube and found it. But the poster there gave the source as being the Internet Archives. Sure enough its there at [beverly Hills, California Street Scene, ca. 1935] : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive with an easy click to download link. But it is in a section of the archives I had not noticed before the "35mm Stock Footage" section which looks like it has other videos that might be of interest: 35mm Stock Footage : Free Movies : Download & Streaming : Internet Archive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you drive by there now, you will see very few cheaper cars today just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Very cool. If it is Beverly Hills it is interesting that there's not a palm tree in sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
