what was the average speed that these cars went with on normal roads and in highways? was there even highways?

The Interstate ... ( 1 year ago by JDProductions2)

The Interstate Highway system was started in the 1950's. There were however, Federal Highways ( mostly 2 lane) like the Lincoln Highway in PA and Route 66. In metropolitan areas there were parkways, most of them still in use. Speeds on these roads would have been 30-40mph but most cars could go 60 or better, if the roads were good.

This remarkable footage thankfully provides a significant insight into a world that lamentably no longer exists. What is the source of the film -- a commercial demo? Time travel may be the ultimate vacation, and until we have it, videos such as this serve as the only substitute.

The speedometers of ... ( 1 year ago by wannawatchu66)

The speedometers of most cars in the 30s went up to 70, but the speed limit on most highways in those days was 45. Yes, there were highways, but they were mostly 2-lane like JD said. US 40 thru Northern Cal was 2 lanes each direction on some stretches. Highways in those days were made of only concrete, whereas today, they're made of mostly asphalt (or asphalt paving over the old concrete), with concrete having been relegated pretty much to freeways only.

Same here. My mom grew up on a farm, and they could always trade produce, crops, chickens, meat, eggs, etc, for hardwares, doctor's visits, cloth (The women sewed all the clothes for everybody), so they escaped the squalor of the urban areas. What a lazy, spoiled, entitled candy-ass country we have become since the 1930's! The baby boomers owe the young people an apology for the utter mess we have left them.

This is the truth! ... ( 1 year ago by boazrg)

This is the truth! We have turned a proud nation into a shithole in barely two generations, thanks to social engineers, and Ted Kennedy's Immigration Reform Act of 1965", and the "Reagan Amnesty" of 1987!

I was in public ... ( 1 year ago by boazrg)

I was in public school in the 1950's. Most of the kids who I knew, their families did not own cars. People who owned cars at all had old, beat up cars. Remember they did not make any civilian cars from 1942 to 1945 because of WWII. But by the late fifties, even working class people could afford an old car, and by the sixties, most people had them. (My first car was a 1949 Buick Roadmaster. Holy smokes - I felt like a king driving around in that car!) Gas? A quarter a gallon!

Great video.I can remember when cars had those little semaphore direction indicator lights and when wiper blades started from the top and hung down instead of on the hood going up. I'd love a car like those on the vid.

Working-class ... ( 1 year ago by SatchmoSings)

Working-class people never had a new car in those days.
Before WWII, if you had a car AND a telephone you were looked upon as "doin' good!"
Even in the 1960s, we had a car that took "super" grade gas and it was 38 cents a gallon and it stayed there for a LONG time!

Unemployment at its ... ( 1 year ago by SatchmoSings)

Unemployment at its worst was 25% (with underemployment also at the same rate) during 1932-33 so unemployment through most of The Depression was more realistically at around 18% if not a bit lower.
I guess you could go online and look up figures for automobile sales in the 1930s and how they changed from the 1920s.

Many of us in the UK too seem to think a lot like you on such matters, BUT, caution, we may be glossing over some old problems they had back then (no health care unless you were well off, and not a lot of education either) and we could be imagining a bygone golden age, of course. No age ever seems golden at the time, not till you're older, as you know. The past is a place we can comfortably live in - why? - cos it's predictable, so it ain't half so scary as the future.

I've watched it more times than I can count, still not enough! Love it!
All the "right ingredients" cars, trains and the MUSIC! Ambrose really turned out a hot one with "Swing is in the AIr" in '35! With 18-25 % unemployed during that time, there still was the better part of 70% employed who did own cars. :-)
Amazing how the Great Depression turned out such amazing tunes and styles! With music, trains, movies and cars like that, who needs health care?!
