1939 New York video
Not model A related, but thought everyone might like to see New York City in COLOR during 1939. My favorite part was the street vendor selling pina colada's for 5 cents. Enjoy!

Re: 1939 New York video
Some things never change! They still have those double-decker tour buses driving by Rockefeller Center, full of tourists gawking at the skyscrapers.
Did you know that before it was fully built out, Rockefeller center had a parking lot? Look at the photo at the bottom of this page: http://archive.org/stream/magicmotor...e/230/mode/1up This book is a very interesting read. It was a spinoff of the famous "Futurama" exhibit at the 1939 World's Fair. Doug

Nice video and nice cars. I didn't see many Model A's though. Surprising.
