1950s American City Life in STUNNING COLOR

Описание: Please enjoy these color photos of 1950s American city scenes. Throughout these photos, you'll see classic American cars in action - before they were classics. You'll see people living their daily lives so many years ago. You'll see what daily life looked like "back then."

These 1950s photos are not colorized but were taken at the time in color using Kodak Kodachrome color film. Kodachrome came out in the 1930s and was a film that non-professionals could use in their regular cameras. Kodachrome is known for its nice bright colors (thanks, Paul Simon), and you'll see how well these images hold up over the years.

Next week I have a similar video with color photos of smaller towns in the 1950s. Don't miss it - click here to subscribe:    / @thehistorylounge  

I hope you enjoy seeing these old photos - and thanks for watching!
