One doesn't have to be a New York City resident to appreciate the wonders of this restored video from the 1930s. For that matter, it doesn't take a classic car aficionado to appreciate the sculptured fenders, round lights, and abundance of chrome that defined cars of the era. You get both in this brief but glorious slice-of-life look at the Big Apple as it was ... nearly a century ago.
Full disclosure – we aren't experts on New York City in modern times, never mind the past. We've done a bit of scouting to identify some landmarks, but we'd love to hear from NYC folks to pick out even more details if you can. Much has certainly changed, but it's also amazing how much is still the same. Look up some of these landmarks on Google Maps, jump into street view, and you'll see what we're talking about.
