You don’t need your imagination to picture what city streets were like in the 1920s. Thanks to this colorized and restored video footage we get a rare glimpse of city life in cities around the world. You don’t need to be an expert in classic cars to appreciate just how unique traffic was almost 100 years ago.
In today’s congested city streets, it’s hard to imagine that a similar scene was taking place over 100 years ago. From New York to London, cars were filling city centers in the 1920s, and based on the footage we’ve never quite figured out how to remedy traffic issues that plagued people for over a century. It’s quite obvious that the cars of today are far different than the sculpted fender-clad machines of the 1920s.
