ROAD TRIP TO SAN JOSE FROM FRESNO (CIRCA 1958) PART 1

This is a vintage 1958 blast from the past. My grandfather filmed a road trip from Fresno, CA to San Jose, CA via Hwy 99 to Los Banos and Hwy 152 to the Pacheco pass. Finally arriving in San Jose via old Hwy 101. Plenty of old cars, old gas stations and old stores that were torn down a generation ago. Sign for the old Salinas Cominos Hotel can be seem along the route. Shades of John Stenbeck in mid-twentith century central and northern California. A beautiful vintage spanish musical soundtrack helps take you back in time. Enjoy this rare glimpse into the past 50 years ago.
