Thanks for posting this!

As a vintage bus and trolley fan, I really enjoyed it.

I would guess this was shot in late 1940 or early 1941 as there's a brief view of a billboard advertising the new lower priced Cadillac for 1941.

GM had discontinued Cadillac's lower priced sister brand LaSalle at the end of the 1940 model year. So for 1941, a new lower priced series of Cadillacs was introduced to take the place of the LaSalle. And, of course, it was heavily promoted on billboards and in magazine ads.

I really dig these clips... shows real life of the times... not just Hollywood's idea how life was... but, real people, real life... it's just amazing!

Glad you all enjoyed!

Anita O'Day sings the background music

Anita O'Day sings the background music and it's available on itunes. The album is Let Me Off Uptown: The Best of Anita O'Day (with Gene Krupa). Excellent video and music!!!
