The art is as good as the music on this channel. I love these vintage pictures.

1:40 Lol the dad yelling at the kids in the car to get out and look at the damn view . And this was before video games too.

Waking up to this is better than an alarm clock.

This channel lets me take a trip to a place I've never been to. A place I can't go to. But my grandparents in their 80s can tell me what it was like. I love it.

Sitting in my hammock chair on my back porch. 70 degrees and sunny, light wind. This music on my iPad, my doggies playing and the wind chimes singing along. Thinking of my grand parents. Wish they were here with me.

I'm 68 years old. This playlist brings back so many childhood memories of watching primetime television sitcoms, commercials, and old black and white movies. Nice! Thanks so much for sharing!

Back to a time when music was music Yorkshire lad ☺️

35 years after the Texaco jingle was so very popular, a man named Tom Sneva won the Indianapolis 500 in his white painted Lola with the famous "Texaco Star" emblazoned on the nose for the 400 thousand spectators to see. Of course, The car's nick name was "The Texaco Star Special" and Sneva's moniker was "The Gas Man", indeed! The 1st man to go 200 mph at the Speedway designed to handle 75 mph cars back in the day.

Oh, our road trips of the 60's! Magical. The music on the radio of our '64 station wagon pulling the trailer with 8 kids in tow. These pictures and music bring it all back, thank you!!!

[emeraldelle]

Always grateful for these. They’ve become the background music to my life at home with 3 little kids.

[thedreadtyger]

man, nobody does this era better.
and one hell of an end track.

I remember the old Esso and Enco gas stations. The commercial after the first song was familiar.

[wumologia]

Oh goodness, finally some authentic vintage music AND visuals. Youtube's been flooded with tacky AI generated slop poorly masquerading as vintage lately.

I miss the TV and radio of my early childhood! I can't afford cable, can't get good radio or TV broadcast reception, but it doesn't matter. Today's music is unimaginative and "mechanical", and TV shows today can be quite lurid and dark. I've got YouTube, my LPs and CDs, and DVDs of vintage movies and TV shows. Anyhow, thank you for putting music out there that creates a cozy ambiance!

🙂 the most grin-inducing channel on youtube

[michaelcarnelian]

This is so so so good. The only problem is that now I need a station wagon and a few weeks to get lost on the road.

Grew up on Route 666, before it was famous and renamed, Route 66, Tucumcarri to Gallup, Grants el Malpais to the West Entrance of Tijeras Canyon in the Sandia Mountains, in the North East Heights of the Duke City, Albuquerque, Bernalillo County. It's all about the Magic in the Land of Enchantment.

The Old Time Radio Clips is I think my favorite in this sterling collection.

Oldies and a road trip, a match made in heaven
