1940s USA - Real People & Street Scenes of Vintage America - Colorized
Ever catch yourself reminiscing about days gone by? A time when people exuded elegance, and good manners were the norm? The streets were clean, less crowded, and adorned with countless hats... It's a bit different today. A new kind of charm perhaps? But there's a feeling that once upon a time, self-respect and respect for others ran deeper.
While the past obviously had its dark parts and shortcomings, we immerse ourselves in these heartwarming nostalgic photos, reborn in vivid color, where every image is a portal to the past!
Enjoy the time machine. 🙏

i was born in the 40's. in my neighbourhood you had to be tough, but it was still a great time to grow up. i spent my younger years listening to the big console radio. i'm in my 70's now and i can put a hockey game on the radio lay down and enjoy it with my 55" flat screen turned off.
Gorgeous video of America the beautiful.I Love to go back into those wonderful years.
Wish we could turn back time...
Thinking all same......
Careful what you wish for.
Me too 😢😢
But its 1940s. You either stay back in the country and feeling disappointed and shame for not being drafted and shipped off to Europe or Pacific wars, or you died in the Battle of Okinawa
@@flfreaks3745Only 450k Americans died in WWII, far less than 1% of the population.
The images are amazing and so is the choice of music ... great work 👍
Beautiful. I am a Japanese born in 1950s and I say this is America that Japan has long been infatuated after the War.
Relaxing time travel .
Very NICE......
There’s no charm nowadays. People are so tied up in their own little world and most have no respect for themselves let alone others. People don’t realize how much they are missing in life by being so self absorbed.
Enjoy seeing the old days
Ваши программы вызывают восторг. Спасибо!
Thank you ❤️
Let's do it. We are still alive and praying for simpler pure times.
Doing what?
Third Reich was also !
I would take those “dark aspects of the past” anytime over the new dark and I mean dark aspects of today.
@7:50 the image is titled: "Seattle, Washington D.C." Those are TWO separate locations; with a country between them.
I wondered who else would notice that. Seattle is in the state of Washington, not Washington D.C.--a Canadian viewer
*Travels back in time to 1943* "Can you tell me what a woman is?"
*Anyone living in that time* "Awww, your one of them special people! Well bless your little heart!"
In 1943' if you traveled back & landed in europe & were jewish the question was moot.
2:10 Ah yes, the good old days were so wholesome. Grandma could bake an apple pie and then, while it cooled, go down to the drive-in and be served an ice-cold RC Cola by leggy young Texas boys wearing boots, shorts and a smile!
im guessing this is American focused , would be cool to see Canada in the 1940s, aso hello from Cobourg Ontario Canada liked and subbed,
Thank you for the suggestion! My channel is indeed American-focused, but I like your suggestion. I'll definitely do some research. Thanks for sharing!
Love to see Vancouver in the early 60's I grew up in the west end Stanley Park many Beaches, Kitsilano a lot of Hippies
and Draft Dodgers from the U.S
The Hippies never ever pushed Drugs on us young kids but they let us have all their empties (on a good day we could make $1.20)
They were smart and moved to many of the Gulf Islands and bought property for pennies on the Acer
This was beyond fabulous. Except for the mislabeled picture at about 7:53 that says, ''Seattle, Washington D.C.''.
The 1940s are the days when people use to have respect for 1 another and everyone treated everyone with respect.. People dressed with respect..
You are sniffing wood glue elmo. WW2 & holocaust and Jim Crow with segregation was never about respect.
At 7:56 ... Seattle, Washington DC ???? And I thought I'd been everywhere.
lol
At 7:52 caption change needed, it is Washington state…. Not D. C.
You are right, my apologies. Thanks for sharing!
@@VintageTreasuresVideos No big deal! I'm from New Jersey and while in the service I spent time at Ft. Lewis, Washington. I almost passed out when I saw Mt. Rainier! Huge and about 4o miles away! The only thing of beauty I saw in my 2 years in!😮😊
The 1940s have always interested me. This video is cool.
2 lamb chops and beans with coffee. Forty cents. Mmmmmmm!
Seattle is not in Washington D.C. It's in Washington State.
You’re right, I’m sorry. 🙏🏼
Interesting and good channel.
Beautiful work! BTW…the pic in 6:30 to 6:35 is most likely Spring 1945…check out the billboards advertising the film “The great John L.” And the film “Tomorrow, the world”. Release of The Great John was officially in May 1945.
I'll bet anything that when people spoke they didn't say " you know" every other sentence 😂😂!
😂😭
Bro, Bro, Bro...know what I'm sayin Bro? Uh...Bro?
Mt. Oreb, Ohio caught my attention since I lived there as a boy. Had to use google street view to refresh my memory. Reminded me of the song “Reflections of My Life” by Marmalde.
Beautiful women. No tattoos and kim kardashian wannabees.
It's worlds apart between Class and Crass
What’s amazing to me is that the current crop of babies will look back on today with fond and romantic nostalgia. What on earth can possibly be in store for us all?
Beyond the glittering facade of fame, one uncovers the concealed agony of innumerable celebrities, wrestling with profound isolation, yearning for refuge amidst the radiant mirage.
Very Good!... #132 ✝ {1-30-2024}
These photos were from immediately before, or during, WWII, but you don't get the feeling of the world's turbulence ...
I wish women looked this beautiful today.
I would like to see the small town America, Norman Rockwell Midwestern places back in those days the 30s and 40s.
Good times
I wonder who that guy is ? 4:25 Not one maid, but two. We know the maids are long gone but he might still be around ?
It doesn’t seem as distantly long ago when the pictures are colorized.
Perhaps. But it still looks like another planet.
Is it just me or were the women of the 20,30,40s much more attractive than most modern women😮.
They made themselves look more attractive by caring about how they looked and dressed. Femininity was the thing, and they weren't adorned with tramp stamps or booger rings. They also knew what a woman was, and it showed.
@@ozrob8726 this!!🙌🏼⭐️
They just weren't as chubby.
No litter in the streets and not overcrowded
Just a meat grinder of a world war consuming millions of humans including a final solution just out of frame sparky. And the US enjoyed Jim Crow & segregation and strict race laws including the forced internment of loyal american citizens of japanese ancestry for sh*ts & giggles.
Awesome stuff but let’s try to forget the waiters in short shorts! 🤢
I’m sorry 😱
@@VintageTreasuresVideos 🤣😂🤣
That is not the 1940s because there are 1950s automobiles. It's 1950 or '51
Sharp eye! I'm a attention to detail kind of guy! Bravo 😅!
Look hit me up again in the beginning of the month I live on Social Security no pension so towards the end of the month I'm pretty well broke but I got to tell you THIS IS SO DAMN GOOD EVERY TIME WE SEE THE 30S AND '40S IT'S AND '50S IT'S IN BLACK AND WHITE AND TO REALIZE THERE WAS COLOR BACK IN THOSE DAYS AND PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THE COLOR IT'S MORE ALIVE IT'S MORE RELATABLE THIS IS JUST F****** AMAZING!
Seattle, Washington DC.? Hem, I think somebody made a mistake.
They sure did make a midtake. Everybody knows that Washington CD is in Seattle! Come on, bro@
Seattle, Washington but surely not "D.C.".
Who is the music by?
Notice how thin almost everyone was.
Can you put together baseball, 1890s to 1930s?
It seems more that good manners, morals, values and not taking everything for granted and appreciating what was had is what is missed most in today's modern world.
The protest, riots, opposition, dressed up and dressed down entertainment on the streets today just goes too far and turns people's interest off.
The hatred rapping, hostility, gangsta mental sets, rudeness, language barriers have widen gaps in tolerance.
Love this post though, actually remember some of this in reality. Will never be replaced. Hard working people that showed appreciation instead of asking for more and more and then more.
No flash mobs, baggy pants, rap music, gang beatdows and a certain group that causes all these problems knew their role in society and behaved. Such a great time!
You mean that black people knew their place as servants of you white Merikans and wouldn't talk back or expect to be treated any where near equally.
Before America was infested.
1940's America, brought to you by Coca-Cola apparently judging from the crazy amount of times the signage can be seen all over the country (except the one grocery store that advertising Pepsi and 7UP instead). LOL
Orange - 1¢(earn 50$ weeks) - now Orange 150¢(earn 1000$ weeks) - 5/7 times increase!
Wonder what our clips and pictures will look like to the generation of 2070…..🤔
Horrifying
FYI Seattle is in Washington state not Washington DC
look on the streets, the children reading their favourite magazines, now children take drugs and smoke and drink only watching a damn phone screen
2 minutes and 19 seconds into this video I have to admit I am turned off that you're showing the '40s playing music which sounds like it's from the 1950s when there was such great music in the 1940s Benny Goodman Glenn Miller Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey!
@1:58 the crack in the photo "straight through his left leg" ???
This America we see here was objectively a better time, mostly because of the people that inhabited it. America becoming the melting pot it is today will be the death of us. If we are lucky we'll split off into different nations and some will be better then others.
Go to sleep grandpa.
Back then it was more a society than just an economy. There was more cohesion. Multiculturalism is quickly destroying most western countries.
America has always been a melting pot. The issue is that bad actors-from woke youth to foreign enemies-are trying to change the recipe.

Learn history Cletus
In other words, America was better because just about everyone in this video are the same color. That’s what you really mean…correct?
How about photos from the fifties that show the first quarter mile drag strip in the U.S. I was called Paradise Mesa ( in San Diego.)
No internet back then, no one asking you to subscribe
I love that you acknowledge that the past had its dark aspects while still celebrating the good parts. Well done. After all, it was a terrible time to be a minority (other ethnicities, gay, trans, etc.) or a woman. Yet despite that ugliness, the past had such a different charm.
It was not a terrible time to be a woman. At least people knew what a woman was.
@@jessewolf7649 Right. Being a second class citizen would have been so great.
@@jessewolf7649 cool story fuddster.
Nostalgia are memories with all the bad parts edited out.
While they've been dancing the other part of world struggled against nazi.
They were dancing because the US was fighting to preserve our style of life- CALLED FREEDOM- So we CAN dance without any thought of harm! Thank our men and women who VOLUNTEERED to protect our way of life!
I was Drafted in 1969 and did my 11 Bravo thing in Nam ! No complaints, right? Sure, just try to forget the horrors you experienced and " carry on" ! I love America ! I'm 74 and came here when I was 3 years old from post war Germany 1949. The rest is history! LOVE YOUR FAMILY , FRIENDS AND ANYONE DESERVING YOUR AFFECTION! WE GO THROUGH LIFE ONLY ONCE , THEN WE'RE GONE! MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION, EVEN IF IT'S SMALL!
@@Downecker
Thank you.
I believe the here after. Life doesn't end at the grave. 🙏👍
Im enjoying old foottages old America🇺🇸 whre no pro nouns &woke people 😊
And no tattoos or body piercings...
@@47luscsettle44 well tattoo ok for me but not too much ink on the body.. piercing hell no, in my 90's teen piercing very known and me few good boys in that time have no interest of that thing
No people in pijamas buying groceries.
I see many in the comments are wearing rose-tinted glasses. Rose-tinted glasses and nostalgia always help to make the past seem better than the present.
😂❣️... 🤣🤣🤣
1940"s
And Then Came The Electronic Age And Runne'd Everything IE: Social Media
It was more pleasant if u were a white, non immigrant male. It’s a pleasant romantic view of a simpler time though for sure. I do enjoy the images and the idea.
Yep, however, no generation is perfect, I'm latino and believe me I wish to visit those places at those years even for few hours.
Not so. Immigrants were thriving in that era.
It was less diverse back then and before civil rights act was passed. That’s the difference between back then and today
didn't black folks live in the 1040's?
The 1040's ?????? 😂😂😂😂😂
The streets were cleaner?? ...really!! Loool! ...the 50s were filthy ...we had NO POLLUTION Laws but we did have infrastructure thanks to FDR ...as far as more polite ...only if you were white ...it was BEFORE desegregation. We had prayer in schools which done us little good ...we had no civil rights, womens rights, enviro rights, Obamacare, clean water rights, clean air rights, few addiction clinics little to no spousal abuse remedies ....yea just roll the pictures and try not to say something stupid!
First, most if not all, of this film is commercial. And costly to shoot. That means they’re not going to show you the bums, the trash, the loutish atmosphere. A lot of this footage is contracted out and shot by local film companies. “A Trip Down Market Street” is a classic example of this. Shot by a San Francisco film company for a NY company. They just turned on the camera and let it run. The joke was that the good thing about an amateur film is that it wasn’t that much different from a professional one. Second, the reason you don’t see many black people is that they’re edited out unless they’re servants. Let’s be honest. Like all advertisements, it’s propaganda. There’s nothing “objective” about it.
Segregation, sexism, internment camps, antisemitism, WWII, labor unrest, no rights for the disabled, pollution were all part of living in the USA in the 1940’s. I love looking at these old photos, but realistically, life was not ideal for all Americans then.
2023 is infinitely worse
respect ran deeper thats a lie prejudice was major them years lmao yall lie to much again his-story
@2:34 On S. 13th St. facing N St. - @3:13 On Main St. between Market & Pine.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
