They were Quote HistoryQuoted:
They were As I've been told, average American height was about 5' 6" until the 50's and 60's, which correlates with about the time we apparently started feeding our cow's steroids to make them bigger to produce more meat. My guess is we probably just had more cows and high-protein food in general that more people could afford, which led to being better able to support a larger body. |

Complete with time-travelling cars! You're right.....My Bad I asked Jalopnik's own Jason Torchinsky, and he thinks that the photo must be from 1952 or later, given that the maroon car (or, at least the one that's maroon in the colorized photo) looks most like a 1952 Chevy Bel Air

Really cool. I always wonder how accurate the color is in these....is there a way to tell what the original colors are from a black and white photo? They can get close approximation referencing color of known things like sky, trees, color of uniforms. There is also some educated guessing and artistic license to some extent. |

The artist chooses the color and lets the original grayscale photo determine the shading/value. It's actually very easy to do, and I'm surprised they make a big deal out of it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted:
Incredible how much better it is in digital media. We used to do this by hand with dyes! I thought that was kodachrome Kodachrome is/was transparency film AKA "slide film". Typically anything with "chrome" in the name was slide vs negative film. Nope, before photoshop/digital imaging the only way you colorized a print was using dyes and painting on a B&W print. If you fucked up youd hope it wasnt an irreplaceable one! |

Gee. Almost all non-military men wore suits and ties regardless of season. And I didn't see any obesity! Different world. The unemployed lumber worker had his SSN tattooed on his arm! If that first number is a 5, he died in Portland, Oregon in 1980. Named Thomas Cave.
