Condolences to the survivors......
I think the bald tyres on some of the vehicles may have contributed to the accidents
Nice to see that bad drivers have always been there. 😅
Car in pool at :30. Wife: “ Honey, the car won’t start, I think there’s water in the carburetor!!” Husband: “Why do you think there’s water in the carburetor??” Wife: “ cuz the car is in the swimming pool!!!”
Back to the future ? Pic labeled '40's with a '52 Plym and '53 Ford

Same at 8:40, captioned "1928" when there is a crashed 50s style hot rod and a 50s car in the background.
I took pics of a lot of wrecks I came upon as a tow truck driver. When I was young I took quite a few I wish I hadn't. Fatalities were always a brag, now those people live in my head and I can never evict them. If I ever meet them on the other side, I'll apologize, profusely. No human should be immortalized in that way. I burned all those pics years ago and I'm still haunted.
The colorizing is a bit off. There were no purple Packards, Plymouths or Chevies from the factory in the 40's and 50's unless they were customized and the cars shown weren't customized.
0:12 odd piece here: called a sedamubalance. This stretched 4 door Chevy? Cadillac? has a removable door post to get the stretcher in and out. If you look thru the back side window you can see the stretcher. When not transporting patients it's used as a limo. Made from the late '40's thru the early '60's.0:28 WTH is that?2:19 the 1st amphicar?

@@richardrice8076 You're right. Them hood badge in the image isn't all that clear, but it's similar to a Buick. The grille also looks like a Buick's. But on closer look the Buick badge would have been more square. Good spot on the portholes. Do you know when Buick started adding them? My uncle had a '56 Buick with the portholes. As I recall, it had 3 on each side, which mean tit was a 6 cylinder. 4 portholes indicated a V8

@jimgriffin9924 not exactly sure but I believe they go back to the '40's. Dammit I was right the 1st time😉.
I’m surprised so many cars were painted mauve or pink or purple back then.
Step back from the colorizing… Nothing was accurate
Mooie foto's , niet zeuren over kleuren. Ouwe wijven.
