Throughout the month of January, we are scanning and sharing a vintage film slide each day. This week we are sharing vacation photos from California in the 1960s.
Yellowstone National Park around 1960.
1960s family memories
There is something about the 1960s that gets me every time. It was a tumultuous decade, but it sure had style. Check out the below photos and see if you don't agree...
Fancy updos....
Shift dresses and atomic George Nelson-inspired clocks...
Aluminum Christmas trees, smoking in the house (!) and slim suits...
A time when you couldn't delete the outtakes...
Sweater sets and red lipstick for daytime...
Wood paneling. This was taken around 1960, so the 1950s influences were still very noticeable. Love it though!
america the beautiful
It seemed fitting to focus on some of America's natural wonders this week in honor of its birthday. Here are some photos taken in the Yellowstone National Park area in 1964. Some or all of them are souvenir slides, which explains the random strangers featured in them! Enjoy....
We live in such a beautiful country. It makes me proud to be an American.
on the road: california in the early 1960s
This week's post has a little bit of everything -- vintage cars, vintage boats, mid-century architecture, vintage signage, palm trees, beautiful water, open roads, great ocean views...and electrical towers. Didn't want California in the 1960s to appear too perfect!
The prettiest vintage cars in a rainbow of colors.
Ahh, mid-century road tripping at its finest! There are so many fun details in these old film slides. Which is your favorite?
