Such great footage. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Simpler times. I see some driving habits have not changed lol

I know the youngsters on here can't relate to that, but most of us on the Barn can. What doesn't come through much is the smog we had back then. Those were the days!

Fun! Yes smog and the oil burners ....

I remember seeing most of this. I believe it was a public service reel about post war traffic congestion and bad driving habits leading to sudden death. There is one shot of smog.
