Videos of old highways on the internet

[kurumi]

Companion to the "photos" thread... I found a fun promotional video from 1960 about the Constitution State.

It's 20 minutes long, so for those of you skipping to the interesting parts:
1:40 - I-91, CT 15, the East Hartford 2/84/500 Mixmaster - all the highway shots are aerial
9:50 - CT 15 at CT 8 (the original version)
11:40 - CT 34, I-91 (still under construction),  I-95
14:15 - building a nuclear power plant!

The announcer, music bed, and general tone of optimism are awesome. The future was so bright; all the companies profiled had not even started to move jobs out of state and overseas. The uploader, "travelfilmarchive", has over 600 similar videos, so there might be other fun stuff there.
