The usual ‘good old days’ bs. Now we can buy any tool we like, much more affordable than they used to be. Eat anything we like, when we like. Yeah houses are stupidly overpriced but we’re richer than ever. Longevity with medicines and surgeries that keep us around longer. No such thing as things being better before. My parents worked their arses off for very little, a holiday was a rare thing and you saved for anything, not on credit like it is now. The cars are awesome looking, but they drove like shit. They had character for sure but rust would take them in no time at all. No such thing as a 5 yr warranty, they were always breaking down, a cold morning or rain had you cursing about the electrics. And that’s before you even consider anyone that was gay or black, certainly not a good old days for them.

I'm always amazed how much Australia and America have in common especially when it comes to cars. Many of these old cars could be and may be American they seem to have the same taste as we Americans do in them.

The FIAT dealer you showed in Brisbane was Anand and Thompson at Newstead . I did my apprenticeship with them in the 1980's . They also sold Subaru VW Audi BMW Renault and Lancia . They eventually became a Mitsubishi dealer . They were taken over by Eagers in 2004 .

Back when it was easy to work on your car.

My late mother for years had a Holden Ek sedan as a kid I thought was crap ! 😂lol look what their worth nowadays ????

Beautiful. Wonderful clear photographs of a bygone era. Too bad they are defaced by that ridiculous "old film" effect that looks nothing like any old film I have viewed in the last 60 years of looking at old films. And they are stills, so wavy neg scratches are not a thing. A very good presentation spoiled by degrading the image quality?

Brilliant video really presented well and the music would have been great alone really brought back memories

Sharks with their rusted out bombs with the Speedo wound back.

When I saw the Bill Patterson Motors glass front showroom, I knew it was Marrondah Hwy Ringwood. In the early to mid 70s, my Mum and Dad would take us up to the Ringwood Ice Rink, where my sister would have lessons. Dad and I would stroll the car yards on the opposite side to Bill Patterson. Great photos.

Good compilation but why the pseudo film scratches😮?

Damn ,Dodgy Brothers Motors didn’t get a gong 😂

Any of the cars in this very interesting video would be worth good money today, in the same condition as in the photos.

Would have been better without the fake film noise.

I will have to report this.....that manufactured age flickering could cause a seizure in vulnerable people.

I lasted 47 seconds , WHY . What a shame , pfffft

We need to get the old Australia back again

I have noticed the picture of Darwin Cyclone Tracy the building is badly damaged but the Holden car's are not, made strong

You can thank " the governments " ( for fucking up Australia 🇦🇺 👏 🙄 )

" fj Holden only driven to church by " old lady on Sundays only ( for sale ) 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 Ahh

When 1 person could pay off a house !😮Ahh

Thank You, they were the good old days 👍nsw

RUBBISH video with artificial scratching an aging added to the footage - how stupid can you get?

Allcar car sales @ 9:01 says 1965, it would have to be after 14 feb 66 as a car is displaying a $ sign on the price.

They the sort of motor vehicle that you can love .they bring back old memories. .😂

I remember as a kid in 1960,s, Zephyrs, Austins and vangards with plywood caravans were often seen flat chat trying to get up Bulli pass on 100f days. Boiled cars were pulled over as far as the eye could see on the pacific highway at Christmas heading into Gosford and i remember my old mans HD holden boiled 3 or 4 times in one summer. The engines today are destroyed after 1 boil. Them old cars had no radiator shrouds,, the fans were tiny and useless. In these videos i see pleanty of Pontiacs and Studebakers, these were good on Aussie roads and had shrouds, big fans and would pull a horse float. Imagine pulling a horse float with horses in a HD holden with a powerglide,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, my god,, they tried it. thats why these cars are all gone. All the holden Ford and Valiants were 1/2 baked under powered minature versions of American models. The Eh should have came with a 283 or 327 chev, the 65 valiants had 273,s and could pull anything. Ford 62 to 68 Falcons were the same cars they had in America but they had 260 and 289,s and 302,s

Someones put some effort into this and you grizzle about the theme...dear oh dear

Lots of rubbish Holden's and shocking music. Shame on you dumb Ozzie's.

Stupid film effects!!

Loved it. The good old days but did you have to put these annoying effects. Please re-do and upload again with out them. I gave you a like anyway.

Awesome historical photos!

Why do I see only Holden? Where were other brands?

Thanks for a great walk down memory lane.The good old days and the good old cars.I remember well going with my Dad to pick up an Austin a90 Westminster from Larke Hoskins. It was his first brand new car he had ever owned.I can still remember that new car smell inside. Great times. Cheers

Some dates are in accurate . Ie dollar price on vehicles in ‘1965’ when decimal currency wasn’t introduced until 14th Feb 1966.

The unknown car yard in Smith Street Darwin is Wayne Britton Motors, formally Continental Motors.

Thanks for video, but agree with others here that found the fake flickering effect super annoying. Why? We all know it's old.

Better cars in better times, Now they're just cookie cutter cars. BTW, we could do without the flicker, we know it's fake.

Who can remember BEFORE Car Dealership Security Fences? I worked at a major Flinders Street Wollongong car dealership from 1973. At that time there was an extraordinary number of car dealerships in the street. I can remember there were NO fences to protect the cars from vandalism and the like, because the cars by-and-large did not need protecting. It was common to go looking at cars at night, often as a 'family outing' visiting yard-after-yard in a row. Dealerships were well aware of this and no doubt glad of any resultant sales inquiries the following morning. The first case of vandalism to the cars that we heard about was around 1976 and just a few doors up from us? We were gob-smacked as this was major news back then, now it would be just an everyday occurrence and not even worth reporting. The incidences of vandalism increased and so the fences started to go up - probably at the insistence of the insurance companies? Dealership-after-dealership followed suit and soon all the yards were fenced-off. This was a sad occurrence and to me a turning-point in our local history. What we had back then was a better mindset (an established set of attitudes) that is now lost to us. I would not fault any young person nowadays being incredulous upon hearing those early days described to them and how cars were effectively left open to the public (so to speak) but back then it was a public simply looking for a used car with no thought of mindless vandalism.

Why the bullshit old flickering film effect? just let us look at the pictures. Ruined it for me

I blame both governments & big corporations for ruining not just Australia, but the west as a whole

What a great collection of old photos. It brought back a lot of memories. Like some others I found the old film effect became annoying but it still gets a like from me. If you do more of this type of thing, perhaps fade out the effect after the intro? Thanks

My next of kin owned a falcon station 🙃

Where is this located?

Lose the flickering. Absolutely love this stuff, more please

Any chance you could do it again and take that annoying fake flick out. Otherwise it was good footage but ruined

AUSTRALIA HAS LOST ITS IDITENITY NO MORE HOLDEN /FORDS ONLY CHINA /KOREA CRAP WE BUY WHAT A SHAME THIS COUNTRY HAS BECOME WE DONT MAKE NOTHING ANYMORE

And every single one of them is worth more than a Tesla .😊

at 9.oo allcars yard cant be 1965---the prices are in dollars--feb 66-on----the falcon van is piu my new car pju120 was oct 68 -so i assume the photo is 1968

Adding that fake aging marks to the video to make it look like old film, makes it less watchable. Just the photo's by themselves would be better. If you do any more, please leave that off. Thanks.

I love it ... old memories

The good old day's. No mobile phones and computer's.
