1953 Dwight D. Eisenhower Inaugural Parade taken with an 8mm color home movie camera.
Notice the blimp, Cadillac camera car, Ike's Eldorado Cadillac, Harley Motorcycles, Montie Montana - the famous roping cowboy, white Jeeps pulling state floats and Marching Bands.
Sadly missing from this film was the stunt by Montie Montana who roped the president.
Ike laughed, but the secret service agents were not amused.
Interesting old home movies. But please leave them silent. I am now SO sick of "Saints."

I believe that President Eisenhower owned the very first ever Cadillac Eldorado of the assembly line.
