Before Smartphones: How Americans Took Road Trips in the 1970s #1970sRoadTrips #VintageTravel #1970sAmerica #1970snostalgia #nolongerhere Before smartphones, GPS, and travel apps, Americans hit the open road with nothing but paper maps, roadside motels, and a sense of adventure. In this video, we look at how Americans took road trips in the 1970s—when planning meant spreading out a giant atlas on the kitchen table and asking for directions at gas stations. From handwritten directions and CB radios to packed coolers and station wagons loaded with luggage, road trips were slower, simpler, and often more unpredictable. Families relied on billboards, travel guides, and word of mouth to find diners, attractions, and hidden gems along the highway. It was a time when getting lost was part of the fun, and the journey mattered just as much as the destination. If you love nostalgia, classic cars, and memories of old-school travel, this trip back to the 1970s will take you there. 🚗 🍂 Watch Next: Part 1 → 20 Funny Things From the 1970s You’ll Never Forget    • 2.0 Funy Thngs From the 1970s You’ll Never...   Part 2 → Illegal Now, But Normal to Eat in the 1920s!    • Illegal Now, But Normal to Eat in the 1920s!   Part 3 → 25 WEIRDEST Home Features No Longer Used    • 25 WIRDEST Home Fetures No Longer Used   Part 4 → 20 Items from the 1970s That FAILED!    • 20 Items from the 1970s That FAILED!   Part 5 → Weird Vintage Appliances From The Past We Forgot Existed    • Weird Vintage Appliances From The Past We ...   00:00 Intro 00:42 The 70s: An Era Of Long Trips 01:47 The Growth Of American Travel 04:04 Vehicles: The Station Wagon And The Van 05:01 Life Inside The Car 07:24 Paper Maps 09:18 Trucker Language 10:07 The Interstate Highway 11:15 The Gas Crisis 13:02 Gas Station Culture 13:49 Trouble On The Long Road 14:57 The CB Radio Community 16:20 Roadside Stops And Eating 17:35 Tourist Traps 18:57 Darkness On The Long Road 20:59 The Roadside Motel 23:45 Shining Destinations 25:19 Old-School Entertainment 27:57 The Value Of Connection 🔔 Subscribe to No Longer Here for more forgotten foods, vintage cooking, and nostalgic stories from America’s past. 👉    / @nolongerhere-001   #AmericanHistory #HiddenHistory #VintageLife #RetroAmerica #nostalgia #memories #1950s #1960s #1970s #1980s #Nostalgia -- Mail contacts: apfrbingre994@gmail.com COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER We use under: Copyright Disclaimer, Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976.
