NOTICE, that all us little hippies were "THIN". Not a fat person in the group. Now watch the "SO CALLED" Woodstock of the 90s. What a joke, a bunch of fat, unhealthy looking snots starting trouble and fighting.  THERE WE NO FIGHTS AT WOODSTOCK, IT WAS ALL ABOUT LOVE AND PEACE. So glad I am closer to 60 years old than 16 in todays world. This was living, the 50s and 60s was good living. And notice also that us "hippies" didn't look at color, we were the beginning of the civil rights era.

This may not seem like much to some folks, but I find this to be amazing footage. Everything about it is interesting, from the cars, to the older folks standing by watching the kids go by. It's hard to believe these kids are now in their 60s or older. Everybody seems so happy and they're all smiling and waving. Can you imagine this today, with all the people riding on the hoods and trunks of cars? There'd be cops everywhere, and most of these people would not be smiling. What a great time.

Darn. Other film, Mom was sure that Dad was in it. Unfortunately, twice.

Now she sees him in this one, and it isn't the first guy, nor the 2nd, that were both in the first film.

@governorgilf This footage is absolutely amazing to me too. I'm a lover of classic cars, and have had a Chevy Musclecar since I graduated from H.S. in the mid-80's. Now own a 70 SS396 Chevelle, all orig. & match. numbers. I'm amazed at how life was so fun & simple back then. Watching these old clips, it transports me back to that era. I was very young, but still remember riding around in "cool cars" in the 70's. Cruisin to my local Drive in on Sat. night is close as i can get to that era,lol.

Woodstock?..I thought it was a rough video of a recent lion's club car show....those are some nice old rigs, esp the 57 chevy at about 3:30
