My parents were from Detroit. My dad was 32 and my mom was 29 in 1951. He predicted its downfall back then and convinced my mom to move to California in 1954, where I was later born. He saw that its capital-intensive economy, which was dominated by one industry, was very nepotistic. Having seniority in the company and kissing the right butts were rewarded instead of innovation. My own research showed me that downtown Detroit in the 1950s was full of clothing stores, but the largest book retailing place was in Hudson's. People took their prosperity for granted and focused on comfort rather than learning and ideas. Narrow mental horizons and divisiveness were well entrenched by 1951.

The 50s man The only decade that feels like paradise. Classy people , good looking cities , architecture, nice homes , couple of kids , functional families , Churches were full ,God was worshipped. Then sexual revolution came , rock music , Aleister Crowley influenced the whole satanic music .

some magnificent cars from that era. 👌 this is just one of them

You can see the actual Mustang convertible featured in the Magic Skyway. It's on display in the Mustang Owners Museum in Concord North Carolina.

Been looking for this for ages thanks tptv

Blame blame blame Is not my game Out with the old in with the new is my shrine For Im the arrow of time.

What a damned SHAME. Every Democrat city is destroyed like Detroit now. GLOBALISM & communism does this every TIME. Then they blame it all on "racism" of COURSE, not stupid FAILED policies.

Tremendous driving skills and the mechanics had to be top notch!

This video has 3 Bs in a row in its url

And now its a hell hole

Love the way the son gets a lovely motor as a present,the procedes to take his first drive behaving like a loon ,finding the most rough,rock strewn track,to try to chip its shiny paintwork & wreck the suspension.Looks like he succeeded,as the wheels @ approx 5.20 definitely don't look like the original Ghia alloys!

Black people DID NOT destroy Detroit. A bunch of paranoid racist White people who were deathly afraid of having Black neighbors had taken the jobs & capital with them to the suburbs, thus leaving a relatively poorer Black population to maintain the city’s infrastructure. Blame yourselves for the decline of the city rather than the people you victimized. If over 1 million white people fled the city, how do you expect several hundred thousands of Black people to maintain an infrastructure built for 2 million? Think logically!!!

1933 - "Get a car!" 2024 - "Get a bicycle!" And they dare to call that shit "progress". Yes, yes, I know: "We must live 'sustainably' (what a stupid word!)! We must save the planet!". Only idiots believe that crap. We are ruled by idiots. And other idiots (brainwashed and manipulated) believe the idiots who rule us, instead of rebelling against their stupid dictatorship. All this makes me puke. We don't want bicycles, we don't want electric cars, we want REAL cars, CLASSIC cars, INTERNAL COMBUSTION cars! SAY IT LOUD AND CLEAR! Don't let yourself fooled by idiots!

That guy sawing the tree was taking unnecessary risk ie no helmet no visor no ear defenders etc, with a chainsaw, all it takes is for the blade to hit a knot in the wood, and it can kickback, bouncing into the users limbs.

I just love these Periscope films. They are so well put together and, their many other subject matter videos are great as well. Thank you for posting this tremendous stroll down memory lane. Which, ultimately lead us to Indy's "Victory Lane!"

The a series looked good but would never start

I worked with a guy from Detroit. He told me how good Detroit was as a kid! Both parents worked for the Automotive indestry and he had a middle class lifestyle. Plus, they were black growing up in the seventies.

Прекрасный автомобиль!

Detroit was a great city at one time.

For those of you that think Senna was the best driver of all time, Senna himself said no, Clark is the best driver of all time.

I have a 1/43 scale model in that yellow, in fact I have quite a few models of these classic motors, only way I'll own them now.

Auntie Val ?

Ok Ford, you've twisted my arm, I'll have one in the same colour at 1961 price.

I'm in, where can I buy one? Much better than those modern SUV fashion symbols we have these days... 7:01 ....

Great ad btw! 😊👍👍👍

Very beautiful car, great design! ❤

JIM CLARK GENIO AS DEL VOLANTE ❤😃👌

Ford ruined Detroit when they left.

Wow, wonderful 1951 city views of Detroit, class and style !

Just curious if that was a leaded racing fuel used in that engine or pump fuel

Back when one income took care of everything.

Demographics make a difference.

We all know why Detroit went downhill but no one is allowed to say it

I love the Cortina MK5 look alike rear lights

Ford fiesta is a baby car

tire technology has come a long way since then

#DisneyDiva ❤

It's getting better. The 2024 NFL draft proved that and the Whites, gentrification will take over once again.

Yay Jim Clark and Lotus Ford! Indy '65, A truly historic race.

Interesting that Autolite is boasting how it uses race cars to test its products and make them better. Now we have Pirelli chemists making tires for F1 that can't even last 100 or so km before they're worn out - LOL

@2:38 John Surtees - who's son would go on to die racing at Brands Hatch 42 years later. Jim Clark - A legendary driver with pinpoint control over these cars, would lose his life just 1 year later at Hockenheim...and probably should have been at Brands Hatch racing in the WSCC instead. Jackie Stewart - he who would go on to start the safety eras in motorsports, along with my favorite driver Niki Lauda....both of them sustaining life-threatening injuries in their famous wrecks. While I wish racing was more like it was in the 60's and 70's, I am glad it is much safer these days.

When one group of people was replaced by another = drop in productivity and no more innovations.

Compared to today this is a perfect example of what happens when systemic corruption takes over at the top level of government and spreads down through society.

NO!!! NOT DETROIT!!!

I had this on in the background and thought they were playing a British Film Noir Murder mystery! lol

Oh, how the algorithm blessed me this day.

Crazy horseless talk.

When you got a "York" best get out & walk.

Nice stereo panning of the Peter Sauber interview (right channel) & the english voiceover (left channel). This should be the standard procedure around the world, so everyone can listen to whatever they prefer. Brilliant.

The age of car centric designed cities is over. The way things are being done in northern Europe is the future.
