A recently unearthed amateur video gives a rare, full-color look at San Francisco circa 1955.
Shot by filmmaker Tullio Pellgrini, the 20-minute movie gives an up-close-and-personal tour of the city from Pellgrini's automobile. His narration is charmingly earnest in a way that's promotional of the city's virtues while never stepping over into being particularly phony or cloying.

Try to spot the Oldsmobiles!

 

That was great! The 20 minute video went by real fast. As a resident of the Bay Area from 1978-1981, 1984-1987, and 1989-1992, it was interesting to re-visit the area as it appeared in 1955. Now I'm going to have to watch it again just to look at the cars!

That was very cool! Thanks for posting. Although I have never been to San Fran., I think I'll add this link to our Oldsmobile Club website's "Video Page".
