  • Beautiful Toledo :)

    Thanks for uploading this by the way!

  • One interesting observation is that the "grockle" traffic is in fact 90% local if you look at the vehicle registrations! It is also worth noting that the then hated "grockle" has become the much treasured source of work and income for the South West who only now becomes a bit of a nuisance during August when arriving in massed numbers...but they still bring a wallet full of money!

    My parents and I were those "grockles" from 1950 onwards!..so spot 1947 VW Sedan FTM 594 and it was me!

  • Most of the cars in this clip were made in Britain! and you think temporary traffic lights and roadworks at the most inconvenient time is a modern feature today??wrong!!!

  • in every city over the world,there"s always at least one beetle!

  • during the 70"s a few japanese cars in europe.

    Their main market was the north america

  • Did anybody spot a Japanese car?  I didn't.

  • @tractorboydavidbrown

    "K" is 1st August 1971 to 31st July 1972.

  • whether it be California traffic in the 1950s or this, there is always at least one Beetle in traffic

  • there was better weather back then now it's shite that's why we go 2 spain
