Newly Discovered Color Images of 1950s

What You Can Experience When looking through these photos you get a sense of realness just looking at these people on the street or walking to stores. Everything seems so busy and full of life but it was not polluted.  The cars are so unique and bulky but brings a sense of what your grandfathers and mothers did during this era.

Are There Any 1950's Drive In Theaters Left?

What We Know From The Video From this film we see a young couple going to the last 1950's drive-in movie theater and I do have to say they are respectful when checking in. It is known that they drove an hour to go to the place to see this movie.  This couple had to wait about 30-40 minutes to get checked in and they arrived there about 6:30ish. Based upon the arrival of this movie theater it looks like every other one that we have in the modern age today.  The only difference between this original 1950's drive in movie theater and the modern ones is that it is smaller, older, and darker.  Although I do have to agree with a few people in the comments that as you further get into the video, the man gets an attitude problem about the food. He does not seem to be nice about his words at that moment. The Comments On This Film Many comments on this video has praise on how this young woman looks and I have to agree with them. The woman does look so beautiful with her 1950's dres...

50s Coca Cola Portable Radio

This is a cool radio for those who love the 1950’s! The small Coca Cola radio has a bright red complexion and a silver antenna. At the top in the middle of this, it has a silver handle that fits anyone’s hands. It has the brand name on this and has two knobs to change the station or to turn up and down the volume. This radio has lines across it on the front part and it glows red when it is on as well. My grandfather has a small radio just like this one and it is so cute. He gets so excited talking about his collection of Coca Cola stuff along with his old bottles of this brand too.

Why Did Narrators From The 1950s Always Sound The Same?

Commercial radio broadcasting started within the 1920's and moved through the 1950's era.  Soon enough people listened less to the radio and went for televisions as they became cheaper.  This is because TV's back in the early 50's were very expensive that only the rich got to watch any shows or interviews. As you know lots of people tuned into the radio to hear about politics, Broadway shows, news broadcasts, and more to hear about what is going on in the world.  What is shocking to find out is that people who were in radio broadcasts and in motion picture films sounded so similar was because they were taught to speak a certain way.  Many people who taught what is called the transatlantic accent in radio and motion picture studios at the time.  When the radio was introduced to the world, microphones sounded tinnier and had a very different frequency.  Many companies wanted their speakers to adopt and accent so that they were heard clearly by the public and ...
