Pretty cool, but why would anyone film that? I love that they did, I love these little snapshots of everyday life, rather than being told about it (which leaves out the mundane, but interesting details).

Did you listen to that car crank? A warm day, and it still has to turn over a few times to start. Today with the engine controls and fuel injection, if the battery can turn over the engine at all, it just starts right up, you barely hear it 'crank'.

Little details like that are fascinating to me.

I'm 30 so I obviously didn't daily drive cars of that era however I've a couple of late 60's, early 70's cars.

They're fun to look at and drive on nice days but car tech has definitely improved for the better.
