Fantastic quality. To think those older ladies crossing the street were likely born in the 1880s or 1890s..and here we are just checking in on YT.

In the mid to late 1950's my dad owned and was sole mechanic of an auto repair shop on Coldwater Canyon in LA. These are the cars he would have been repairing.

Was 18 years old in 1957 and really excited by cars back then, but now, just transportation and a necessity. So getting my fill by watching Perry Mason reruns. Thanks for posting this.

This is the SoCal I grew up in. In was eleven in '53. It was a wonderful time.

Hollywood still looked a lot like this when I lived and worked there in the 70's, but you woudn't recognize it now.

When Holly Wood had style and real movie stars.

It was so nice back then. I remember visiting Disneyland in 1960 and the wonderful smell of the orange groves.

My mother's family were the original land developers of Hollywood, CA. I lived in West Hollywood in the mid-1950's and distinctly remember these kinds of street scenes.

We are the only people in all the history of mankind that can look back in time through these magic windows. Thanks for sharing.

Cars in the 50s all looks so gorgeous. Every car looks different. So many choices. Today's cars...bland as hell. Soulless. Golden era gone.
-
Love the transitional opening music at the beginning of this video, the music during the radio announcing is so nostalgic.
-
Big beautiful cars, no traffic. I want to live in 1957. Unfortunately couldn't find time machine on Amazon )))

I'm from the 90s, and I miss it already. Already alot has changed, for example ofcourse the mobile phones, everywhere where you look you see them. TV, their were so much better shows on it then todays. I'm not gonna cry that I'm born in the wrong time but I wish I could go to the 40s/50s/60s/70s.

Back when every single car and truck looked absolutely beautiful
-
Such a magical time this was. Marvelous. The sweet spot among all eras.
-
that beautiful neatness lasted up til 1980's

Hollywood Blvd. looks somewhat the same. I truly LOVED living in Hollywood in my early days. Every spring the smell of the Sycamore trees was the sweetest smell in the world. I lived 2 block from Manns theater and the streets were crowded with people out to have a good time. Those were the days...

I’m a lifelong Los Angeles resident born in 1989. My parents weren’t even born when this video was taken, and I long for and feel nostalgic for this 50s Hollywood. I wish we could go back. NO traffic! There is always traffic galore in Hollywood today 😭 it’s very run down too in a lot of areas.

Somewhere in that city Ritchie Valens is playing his heart out about to become an immortalized legend forever. 🎤🎸
