Every time I see those videos it puts me at ease if just for a moment

Love these old pictures moments frozen in time.

Wouldn't it be fun to stop in at Terrible Terry's Gas? I'd love to know the story behind that business.

There is an excellent PBS program on the Lincoln Highway through Wyoming, available for viewing on youtube somewhere.

The greatest advance in autos is, 12 volt system,cooling systems and tires. I’am old and spend hours finding water, fixing tires and pushing old cars to jump start them. We loved every minute of it.

So enjoying this channel. Music is also very enjoyable and fits the video perfectly. Thanks so much for putting it all together for me to enjoy. 😊😉😌

Great video compilation.Yup, road trips as a child were always so wonderful, so much of our country to explore. We either slept in the car or in the trunk, LOL. My mother loved to drive the back county roads, she had a nose for finding creeks, streams, without any maps!

Born in 1950, I recall Dad telling how thumbing was a chore in 48, after the war, got to winnemucca nv and built motels & swimming pools. Stayed 3 months and saved enuf to get home to Mi.back to the farm where he grew up

🟥🟥🟥 Ahhh. The good old days. When you could fix a car with bailing wire and pliers. Not like today where a micro chip, diode, or a resistor will leave you stranded because you have no bars on your cell phone to call for help.

This is a great collection...thanks

Thanks. I like your photos and the music. Everybody must have a story.

Any older than 48 were from the 1800's so being able to actually drive themselves across the country was a huge event.

At 5:55 that was "air conditioning", filled with ice/water, hang on slightly open side window and the flow of air would blow the "cooled" air from a side vent into the window opening.

I started to write a comment and got sidetracked reading about Atkinson, which is in northcentral NE, way far north of Omaha which is on the Iowa border?? Mr Grant took these pictures 3 years before I was born but not too far removed from the times my dad drove us through wyoming, nebraska, kansas too, on trips to see his mom and family members. I remember having to stop cuz engines overheated, radiators needed water and tires got flat-- those were the days as I recall tires had inner tubes and when they got punctured one could be up the proverbial creek. =) Days were hot, nights were muggy and buggy, but so were the days. winters were cold and snowy, so summer trips were more the norm.. towns were few and far between so if one of us had to go potty (or dad had to fix a flat with his handy tool kit in the back :)) we literally had to find a tree which are fairly sparse in that country-- sagebrush was harder to hide behind!! oh the rolling hills of nebraska and as these pictures show straight roads in many areas for as far as the eye could see! I will only mention in passing the times my sister got car sick-- amazing how well tissue boxes worked! I can also remember driving through thunderstorms which off course lit up the night skies and scared my sister and I. It was my maternal grampa come to visit one year who taught us to count slowly when we saw the flash and stop when we heard the thunder. He instructed us to divide that number by 5 which was sposed to be the distance from where we were to the lightning strike-- I still do it!! This was a most delightful armchair trip down memory road-- thank you so much!! God bless!! Finalllyyy-- I've got a phrase from a song rattling around in my brain- The writer and singer of the song says "I've been to Nebraska, it reminded me of Spain" I might be off a word or 2!!? Please correct me if you know it!! Peace to all!! and

That was the year I arrived on this planet.

The Mom carrying the baby on the double motorcycle is....everything. I wonder where that baby is today!! I hope it has had a great and interesting life!!

A llot has changed…but honestly, go back 73 years BEFORE 1948 and it is clear that even more changed in those years. 73 years on, that four lane paved highway on a hill can be seen in ten thousand places. 73 years before, such a thing had not even been invented yet.

Just curious. What happened to the original Yesterday Today channel?

Beautiful memories

Lotsa car trouble on route 30!

Looks like it was not uncommon to just camp beside the road, maybe behind a billboard.

the Lincoln Highway , no one calls it us 30....it was known as the lincoln highway when it was built by the Ford Motor company before route 66 .

Meanwhile, in Europe........

Back in the good old days on a road trip it was common to see cars pulled off to the side of the road with steam gushing from the radiator. I couldn’t figure out why the drivers would open the hood and remove the radiator cap at the risk of scalding.

Anyone know the source of the trumpet music?

it's also the stretch of road through Nevada known as The loneliest stretch of road in amrica
