Similar to lynchings?

a mostly male crowd

I love how it's almost all Massachusetts drivers. Some things never change.

@@arigoldberg3126 They probably have mostly photos from Mass.

@@arigoldberg3126 i visited Mass. for the first time this last summer. I almost got slammed into by multiple people off the left side on residential streets in Boston/Cambridge . Watched a lady pull out of her driveway in Connecticut only to drive down the block and pull a U-Turn at a 4 way stop and get stuck because her turn radius couldn't clear the people waiting for their stop, causing a huge traffic jam. we got stuck behind her and the person behind us tried to veer around to go around both of us? not quite sure what's going on in New England but jesus christ the people can't drive for shit lmao.

Right? It made it even more macabre.

I’m 22 years old. When I think of a car that’s 50 years old, I think of cars from the 50’s. I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that a car from the 50’s is really 70 years old, and cars from the 70’s are 50 years old now. I know I’m still quite young, but I already feel the coming of age. In my mind, the 90’s are still 10 years ago but the time has gone by so fast. To be fair, my perspective of time is distorted because I’m a history enthusiast and still think WWII was not too long ago

James what else u watch on KZfaq what do you do on your weekends

@@DerKopfkissenmann Realistically, WWII wasn't *too* far back. You and I are the same age, and think about how fast time seems to be moving, and how much it accelerates as each year goes by. You ever think of how WWII was only four of our current lifespans (of 21-22 years) ago?

​@DerKopfkissenmann my grandma still remembers WWII. She was in Germany and remembers the bombings, air raides, and escaping the Russians. I tried to push her to write a memoir but she isn't interested. I'm only 33

ONLY....

Yeah, especially with all new cars being made of plastic

​​@@epice6463google crumple zones dude

@@epice6463 they only use plastic on the outer layer. also its good for crumbling so the driver wont die in a crash

Some people didnt get the joke

was that supposed to be funny or a joke?@@elisa_5445

Ngl 🔥🔥🔥

Maybe thats why those fotos exist, back then you had no Iphone, taking a Picture was a sience of itself. Handling glassplates with chemicals on, wooden box Cameras etc.

​@@florianborkenhagen9434dude this was the 50s, 50s had film cameras😂

My great grandparents were stuck and killed by drunk drivers in the 1930s.

well none of the people you see in these pictures are alive anymore, if that makes you feel any better.

The poster is clueless

And that's, probably, why those were banned. Unless the car is a Mercedes/Cadillac/Rolls Royce, they somehow still get away with it.

@@vadim6385 I don't think they were banned, I'm pretty sure they fell out of fashion as fuel economy (and aerodynamics) because greater priorities. Edit: Fixed ornaments were banned in the US in '68 and Europe in '74. They've been spring-loaded ever since. Shifting customer tastes and aerodynamic considerations are the main factors behind their disappearance.

⁠@@vadim6385modern ones fold now if hit

@@vadim6385none of those cars have hood ornaments anymore except Rolls Royce which retracts when anything so much as brushes against it. As the other person said they fell out of favor with consumers for their looks, and manufacturers for the aerodynamics… plus I’m sure people got sick of them getting stolen.

ouch! That is really unfortunate for him

Yup! Because thet weren't. I have some old ass friends that lived throught that era.

They're not so distant. Most of these pictures are between 70 - 100 years old, more or less a life span. It's not really that a lot of time has passed, it's that society has evolved very rapidly and we've been exposed to several technological and scientific leaps since then.

This was the comment I was looking for. Don't live there but close enough to know. My first experience was a chartered bus ride to Fenway as a kid in the 70's and what memory I remember most is just about every car in Boston had a dent.

So many Massholes.

same lmao

Also a resident of Mass, and I gotta agree and also disagree at the same time. Yes, to our own kind within all each other in our state, all of us Massholes are bad drivers, but out of staters do not have the skills to keep up with our driving pace, so we become the better drivers in that sense. All depends on who is involved.

holyoke!

They did that at my high school in the 90's in Florida. The county would park a wrecked car from a DUI fatality at the entrance to my high school as a deterrent to the kids to avoid drinking and driving. It worked really well.

Good times

Certainly can't expose that to the gen Zers.

Oh thanks expert.

thanks

@@mvd4436 i can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic

🎯👍🏽🎯 JFK! I always chuckle over that Sherlock Holmes buggy ‘ Batchelor Party ‘ & Watson’s Entrance at his Wedding Chapel!! CLASSIC!! I’ve always visiting many of those VINTAGE CARS/ Buses, Trains Museums too!! I’d read the Mag “ POPULAR SCIENCE & POPULAR MECHANICS “ with my Dad- especially the “ Cars of the Future “ Art work. But I think no one ( young) in this last Generation, could ever appreciate the Implications back Then!! as Motorists HONKED their Horn.. turned to their Sweetie and Enthusiastically Proclaimed “ Amazing isn’t it Elizabeth 😊! Oh What an Advanced Age we live in!!” 😂. God Bless. NRN. 👴🏽NoBody.

wait for some social justice warrior to come along and tell you how terrible everything was for women and "people of color". lol. It never fails.

it was in fact not better to live in those times as some of these pics were taken during world war one

Things were simpler but not better. Would take today over most times of humanity because I have this dopamine electric brick with me to keep me happy

Lack of diversity alone made those times safer

​@@help3102 World War I was from 1914 to 1918 and most of these pictures were taken in the 30's, so you are wrong.

A lot of times the only bruise will be from the badge in the steering wheel hitting you after the airbag deploys

Yeah but you gotta admit, hey were more classy and artistic. If manifactors today kept the same class alongside improvments they would be golden.

@@paulofelipebbraga9634 Classy, I agree, but artistic? Honestly, once I looked past the rose tinted glasses, old cars from way back then look just about the same, like abrebones horseless carriages.In my opinion, the peak of automotive aesthetic comes in the 40s and 50s.

в 40-е в США вообще была почти военная смертность на дорогах

Lack of diversity brings style and comfort

Yup, and no seatbelts. 😔

Old cars are too stiff where they don't need to be and not stiff enough where they need to be.

@@skaldlouiscyphre2453 yes, just look at "1959 Chevrolet Bel Air vs. 2009 Chevrolet Malibu IIHS crash test" the old ass car, despite beign larger and heavier got annihilated inside meanwhile the 2009 one didnt even got a bended A pillar

90% of those old cars are not heavy at all really. I have a 1951 Chrysler Windsor DeLuxe and its GVR is 3,500lbs. Sure those old car are big as hell, but its all hollow. No boxed in crumple zones, no beefed up pillars, nothing safe. Plus 60s and back the steering column wouldn't collapse in a front crash, causing the column and steering wheel to be shoved into your mouth.

@@enragedgrandpa2889 Hey, now those are some really Cool Fun Facts, man! Thanks for the 💀's up! 👍

Blue paint won't ignite on fire nearly as easily. That's why Oprah and Bill gates' house survived the fire sin Hawaii

i think it has something to do with the software used to color restore the photos. otherwise blue cars would have a higher insurance rate than red ones😂😂

@@fockwulf1 ha ha 😀

Wrecked cars usually get parted out in junkyards before being crushed and recycled. I doubt any of these particular vehicles still exist.

Yea that's not only a terrible idea, but an impossible one.

you think those wrecks from 100 years ago and still sitting around waiting for someone to buy them? Tell me you were high when you posted that without telling me you were high.

@@marks6663hey, don’t always blame drugs! He could be “slow”.

Yeah, people were held accountable thise days, unlike today where some asshole driver can risk dozens of lives by draving like a retard.

Modern vehicles have crumple zones to absorb the crash energy. The cars in this video were more rigid.

​@@dannydaw59No they weren't, any of those oldies wouldn't stand a chance in a small overlap crash tests, they just gonna be smashed like a coke can, modern cars have much stronger passenger cell

When people say, "They don't make them like they used to," they're usually referring to reliability and longevity, which have in fact starkly decreased since the 1990s.

@huks9380 The 1980s cars I drove were shit compared to now. Motor oil is a lot better and paint jobs don't rust. 2 Hondas, a Toyota Camry and a Ford.

Huuhuu.. 😂😂, i think iam the only looking at their dresses.. But they all look really in great style.. 👍👍. Love styles of that era..

That's what I was thinking...back before drunk driving laws. 🤕

They had style in the past

Modern vehicles are safer.

❤️

@@VintageTreasuresVideos I didn't make myself clear.... I was born in 1980, I have nothing to do with the 1930's

as someone who lives in Massachusetts, i can confirm it’s not as bad now

Now many are killed by illegal invading migrants who will flee the scene

Or maybe whoever created this compilation had access to that specific area's database?

More than what's keeping illegal invaders out of the country who are driving without insurance and fleeing after accidents

And even 90's cars were unsafe compared to today's, less air bags and roll over protection.

@@mattwolf7698you don’t own vintage cars for safety at least I don’t I don’t care it’s pretty
