Its weird, i always imagine anything earlier than the 80′s to consist of people discovering fire and the wheel and such.

You can totally tell these are historical, because they show americans working and producing goods in factories.

Not a single one of these photos looks the least bit modern. What are you smoking?

Melissa you don’t quite get the lineage of time, do you? Or have you seen cars from 2019 on todays streets?

It’s not as if you see all brand new cars on the road today. My car is over 10 years old.

Still, the quality of the photos and the colors are great. I’m pretty impressed.

Is this a gag testing our powers of observation? Some of those pix clearly show cars from the 1950′s. The St. Louis Arch was built in 1965.
