its almost like people are just getting lazy and don't make cool stuff like these anymore
I had just started driving and remember the gas lines well.
Same here.
Only Joe Obiden could f-up things worse than Jimmy Carter.
I love this video thanks to whoever recorded this and 1979 a part of history
I videoed that back then with my first cumbersome "portable" camera and separate VCR setup. The camera weighed 5 to 10 pounds and the VCR on a shoulder strap was about 20 pounds! A far-cry from what we have today, weighing only a pound or so and videoing to a tiny SD card (instead of tape) in HD! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting!
I went to college that year. I had to car pool, get lifts from cute guys on motorcycles, and stayed broke because of gas prices.
BIG OLD GUZZLERS 😮
It was all the democrats fault. There was no real shortage.
I'll agree to disagree. It wasn't the "Democrats", in general, as much as, to a slight degree, Carter's lack of experience. But the main blame lies with the markets, and the middle eastern oil cartels. Oil prices and shortages vary by whims of such entities, based on political issues and occurrences, like the unrest in Iran. And, at the time, Iran was a major oil producer, so, when that unrest happened, shortages of world-wide oil distribution were a very predictable result. I didn't vote for Jimmy (I voted, blindly, for Ford). But I like him, as much as an atheist like me can like a theist like he is. He was a well-meaning, but less effective president. But he was only slightly to blame for that oil crisis. I wish him well. I know we are likely to, soon, hear of his health issues meaning we've lost a great statesman and humanitarian, between now (May 31, 2023) and the next few weeks or months, albeit at the end of a very respectable long life! My respect to Jimmy Carter. A very good man.
I'm a Midwesterner, but am Grateful that Los Angeles, at long last, has a Comprehensive Rail transit system. They have a Subway Downtown, Elevated lines in the close-in neighborhoods, and grade-level rapid transit going to most of the Outer Suburbs. Even Beverly Hills now has a station! It would be Nice, however, if more folks rode the trains.
It's awesome to hear how far the L.A. area mass transit rail system has expanded! It was just beginning construction when I moved back to Omaha from there in 1989! I've been back to visit many times, and picked up and dropped off a friend near the station nearest Whittier several times in the early 20-teens, although I never rode on it myself. Had it been as far along in the mid-1980s, when I lived there, as it is now, I might have taken advantage of it a lot! AND, maybe I might have stayed, since the traffic density and travel hold-ups were one of the several main reasons I wanted to leave!
@@rogerspeakman Exactly. It's not just that it's "Not Green" but, like NYC before THEY had Mass Transit (Early 1900s before the Subway really took off there) there are Massive Traffic Jams. NYC DID have an El Train, as far back as the 1880s. Tenements were built in East Harlem, and the Lower East Side Immigrants gratefully moved up there to populate them. They Quickly turned into Slums as well, and when said Immigrants moved Up and Out, the Puerto Ricans populated them. West Harlem boomed in anticipation of the Subway line there. An African American Realtor oversold the place, and then the prices crashed (Years before the Great Depression.) SO...Blacks from San Juan Hill and The Tenderloin moved there. Many of the apartments were subdivided when rent increased. That's how you get a Slum. Similarly, in the South Bronx, the IRT line came in around 1906, and "New Law" tenements were quickly built near it's route. There had been an Elevated Line (which fell into disuse in the Twentieth Century, and was finally demolished in 1973.) The IRT lines, however, Really caused the population to Explode in that Borough. There were also fancier elevator buildings, starting in the 1920s, but Many people lived in walkups-like C's family in "Bronx Tale." Post-World War Two-VHA loans, Freeways, and the Building Boom in Connecticut, New Jersey, and Further Upstate, caused White families to Live their Suburban Dream, and move out of The Bronx. Thousands of Middle Class families also moved to Co-Op City, which is located within the Borough. The Rent Stabilization Law meant that Landlords couldn't keep up with Inflation, and had no incentive to make repairs. When things Really went Downhill (Late Sixties/Early Seventies) both slumlords and tenants torched their buildings (although a Good number of those fires were Electrical, or caused by space heaters.) The Borough also lost a Lot of Industrial jobs in the Postwar Era. A Lot of the Housing has since been rebuilt, and there are Dominicans, West Indians and First Generation African Immigrants living there.
I worked at a gas station when I was 16. It had a boat dock in the rear and the tanks for the boat dock weren't regulated by Gulf. The employees would back their cars along the side and run the hose from the boat dispensers after the station was shut down for gas sales.
How much was the gas this year ?
I zoom in on the gas pump in the video, where it shows it was at $1.00/gallon.
I was 6 and i remember this.
I was a high school sophomore when this second crisis had taken place!
I get gas sometimes. My older sister was born in 1979. My mother once drove an orange 1978 Datsun.
Nice to see all that Detroit iron.
During the shortage of ‘73 odd even plate numbers had to buy gas on matching odd even days. I was driving a 1970 Monte Carlo, fully loaded, best car I ever owned. I would go back in a heartbeat.
Carter baby!!! The good ole days!!!
Back when all cars were beautiful and properly-built.
Carter was a horrible president.
Most cars today are large trucks. Way bigger than the cars of the 70s.most people arent hauling anything either and then they have the audacity to complain about gas prices.
Well, trucks ain't cars even though most people use them as such. That's why people consider the 60s and 70s cars to be unusually large.
The song "Just When I Need You the Most", brings back a lot of memories from 1979. As a kid way back then, I used to arrange my Hot Wheels cars in a circular pattern in front of a gas station playset. One of the fun memories from a very "simple" time.
What brand of car at 3`08.?
That was my dad's Ford station wagon (sorry, but I don't recall the model). It probably came out in the early 1970s.
@@rogerspeakman Maybe a Torino or Montego but I can't be sure.
@@tomloft2000 - Torino sounds familiar. So I'm going with that over a Montego! (Here's where a game-show contestant might ask, upon his answer being confirmed correct, "Wow, what have I won?")

entertaining to have someone in room challenge to see if they can name make and model I'm the champ
Poor people.
Love the old cars and I remember all of them.
Got my permit in 75. Drove a handy down 72 Plymouth Duster 318
And to think, Jimmy Carter is still alive today. 2023.
No fuel shortage then Or now …. Just Political BS Back in 79 Just worse TODAY 🇺🇸🕳️☠️
It’s interesting to see that it’s all American cars at the pumps and no Japanese cars. I wonder if the gas crisis was done on purpose in order for the Japanese market to grow. I mean just look at how things are now and how Japanese manufacturers skyrocketed in the 70’s-80’s. Wouldn’t be surprised if all Governments said hey, let’s create this crisis, the Japanese market will boom, you’ll give us incentives and it’s a win win. I’m not trying to sound like a conspiracy theorist but, since I have thought about it, someone else has.
Even and odd tags. Even can go this day and odd on this day.
I don't recall if that arrangement ever happened in our city (Omaha), but it wasn't how it was done on the day I shot this video.
thanks for CARTER for regime change in the second biggest exporter of the oil in the world(IRAN) and bringing terrorist regime in place of it!! we still suffer from that dumb move 50 years later🤬🤬🤬
Historians have determined that the revolution that brought about regime change in Iran in early 1979 was in the works well before Carter attempted to convince the Shah to relax his own repressions on the people. The people of Iran, however, at the time, were intent on ousting the Shah, independent of Carter's influence, and the Shah left power in January of 1979. Carter is not to blame for it, nor the trouble the Islamic government of Iran still poses to the world today. Carter had his own shortcomings, mainly in that he may have sometimes acted too late to prevent some problems, including that particular oil crisis. His administration did oversee some regulations that heightened the increase in mid-east crude oil shortages and resulting prices at that time. He was a man with good intentions that, in some cases, were not well-executed. That 1979 oil situation was one of the more serious examples. The hostage situation? While it was nearly solved before he left office, the timing of the change of administration, followed by the actual hostage release, allowed Reagan to take credit for their release. I personally honor the man, now, in April, 2023, on his death bed. I didn't vote for him, but, in hindsight, I feel like he was the better choice over the one I did vote for: Ford (born right here in Omaha, for whatever that matters!).
Back when people were normal, calm, reasonable & used common sense & courtesy.
To me, and I think to most of us there on that day, it was a novelty, this long gas line for which we began gathering about an hour before the station opened! So we stood around talking about it pleasantly, as some of us might have while in line for the first Star Wars movie a couple of years earlier! We made (well, I made) quips about how fast our $10.00/10 gallon limit per car was going to be used up if we brought several containers to fill along with the car's tank! It was an unusual and novel time for us there on the north edge of Omaha Nebraska in the late spring/early summer of 1979. It didn't, but, had it dragged on for weeks, months, even a year, the conversations in the gas lines would certainly have moved more toward the irate end of the spectrum! As we saw happened in news stories of similar problems in more populated parts of the country where the shortages of gasoline happened several times and lasted for one or more months at a time!
U are 100% right about that people was normal and did have common sense not like today you walked to a gas station filming you have 10 people trying to fight you for no reason
@@davidjustice5805 - Where do you live that 10 people would try to fight you for videoing at a gas station (that you walked to instead of driving to)? Although rationed gas lines aren't common in the U.S. right now, I think I could do the same thing at a gas station today (though I doubt I'd have a reason to) and I'd bet no one would try to fight me for doing it! And I wouldn't stand out as much as I did in 1979 with that huge video rig, especially since it was pretty unusual, unless you were with local TV's news! (Although, back then, people sometimes thought I WAS with a local TV News team!) 🤷♂️
This watching auditor video on CZcams your see what I mean about people trying to fight people for filming in public
@@davidjustice5805 - Do you have a link to this video, so I can see what you mean?

@@rogerspeakman I lived in Iran in 1974-75, and there was talk from local people (mainly younger ones) that the Shah was in danger. They also told me not to tell anyone because they didn't want to wind up in jail.
@@tomloft2000 😲
Nothing more than a total fabrication by big oil
It’s what they do , still do .
and gas was probably a wallet melting 1.79 a gallon
There's something sexy about the chick @ 3:16.
Only the US experienced gas lines. Here in Canada, we never experienced anything like this. It seems the supply chain for the US failed.

We had "odd and even" days. You could only get gas depending on whether your license plate ended in an odd or even number.
Wow! Which time period was that? Around 1973 or '79? And what part of the country? As I think I mentioned, this gas line event happened in Omaha, NE in '79. I don't believe we were restricted in gas amounts for longer than 1 or 2 months. But gas prices stayed at the 25-30% higher levels (at least $1.00/gallon) compared to where they were just prior to that event, indefinitely!
@@rogerspeakman I don't remember which year, it was so long ago.... This was in the SF Bay area of California.
Oh, and gas was only .65 a gallon for a long time, as I remember in the early 80's, it cost me $6.50 to fill my tank. This was before our state decided to use a different mix of gas that didn't create as much air pollution. This is why gas costs so much here.
@@NYCHFAN - I lived in Los Angeles from 1984 to 1989 and recall that gas prices were pretty reasonable then, as well. And the prices didn't vary nearly as much as I drove cross country to visit Omaha on my vacations. In the early 1990s, 91 & 92, I believe, gas was around maybe $1.30 to $1.50 a gallon in Omaha, but was just $.99 at Arco stations (when you paid in actual cash at the pumps) in the Los Angeles metro area, when I'd go back there often to see my many L.A. friends! But, as we well know, it's been more than twice the national average in CA for at least 15 to 17 years, probably mainly due to the region's loss of a number of functioning refineries since then.
Wow that’s crazy
Anyone else here to look at the old cars. What gigantic beasts they were.

yeah, and most of"em are american cars to!
In 1979, I stood in line at my local gas station at 5am just to get a limit of 5 gallons of gasoline at 80¢ a gallon on odd day in my like new 1969 Chrysler town and country station wagon. A big long wide land yacht guzzling hog it was. This video is exactly the way it was all over USA at the time. Gasoline rationing, gas siphoning, gas odd even days, gas lines, no gas out of gas signs all over too. Fist fights did happen all over USA too due to people cutting in line with their cars, trucks, SUV'S etc... Jimmy Carter's malaise misery index speech was a joke. Turn down your thermostat to 68° and wear a sweater was his answer to the energy crises oil embargo of the time. All those gas hogs, tanks, land yachts are worth big bucks now if you can find one. It was an experience for sure. Looks like it might repeat in the summer of 2023.

wish i had one
Ed, I passed your message on to Russ and he said, "Me too!" That's because, due to its size and his choice to, only a year or so after creating it (very early 1990s), to move to Los Angeles (from here in Omaha, NE), he had to find a new home for it. But by the time he came back here, about 13 years ago, and he checked with the theater he donated it to, he found they had disposed of it many years earlier (probably within one to five years of his donating it)! 😫 So, sadly, it is no more, and hasn't been for a long time!
I wish it was 1979 all over again :(
So you mean you wish the gas prices were that low again... not the fact it was being rationed! I don't disagree, but for me to fully agree, you'd have needed to say it like I just did! 🙂 I also wish gas prices were that low again, and would stay that way. I don't miss 1979, though. Except I wish I could be 21 again!
@@rogerspeakman yeah I was 6 in 1979 so I guess that's why I wish it was 1979 again. No reason other than that - and I'm sure for alot of people 1979 might have sucked. So I was really just saying that I wish I was a kid again. I will say that when it comes to vintage footage of any time in the past century I do like the optics of the mid to late 70's to mid 80's. Again probably cause it was during my childhood but I do like it footage from that era.
@@bryanburnap4537 - I see your point. Naustalgia is a powerful draw. I'm not a fan of the times, styles lack of the level of tech we have now or the even better tech on the horizon, but it IS cool to be able to say I watched the first moon walk live, when it happened! I was playing with what I thought was fairly good tech when I shot that video with a huge, heavy portable VCR and a crappy camera not made to directly mate with it (so I had to modify it)! When I look at old video from that era, I just wish and wish I had had current video technology to video my early times with! But, still, it's good to have that old video! And, as I said before, I wish I could be 21 again, as I was that Summer of 79, with what I know and have experienced up to now, and with today's tech, if not even more-advanced tech than this! 🤣 Have I given away that I'm a Star Trek fan? Anyway, nice of you to comment and tell us what you thought of when you saw that, Bryan! Thanks!
